Family vacation in Bali
- Plan your vacation in advance. Many excursions and activities need to be booked well in advance, especially in high season.
- Maintain a regimen. Make sure children have time to rest during busy days.
- Keep safety in mind. Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local regulations and safety guidelines, especially in bodies of water.
A seaside district on Bali’s southeast coast, best known for beautiful Sanur Beach. It’s one of the island’s most popular areas and a great place to stay with kids. Expect calm, clear water with shallow entry (tides raise the water level), a 7-km stretch of golden sand, breakwaters with classic Balinese gazebos, and colorful fishing boats.
This area is famous for its clean, well-kept beaches and many luxury hotels. You’ll also find excellent watersports—snorkeling, water-skiing, and more. Nusa Dua’s beaches are safe and convenient for children.
One of Bali’s most popular beaches and ideal for families with older kids. Soft sand and generally shallow water make it friendly for swimming. Kuta has many surf schools offering lessons for all ages and levels, and there are calm zones suitable for little ones.
Kuta and Legian are perfect for first-timers thanks to their soft, rolling waves. Many surf schools run kids’ lessons with experienced instructors—safe, structured, and fun.
For brave kids and parents, especially around Tanjung Benoa, you can try paragliding. Take-offs are from safe high points, and under an instructor’s supervision you’ll enjoy breathtaking views over the ocean.
Perched on a cliff with sweeping ocean views, this temple is a great place to discover Balinese culture and tradition. In the evening you can watch the Kecak fire dance—an engaging show that kids love. Entry is inexpensive, and the vistas from the cliff delight everyone.
Bali’s hub of culture and arts, where you can join workshops in painting, basket weaving, or traditional batik. There are also markets with unique souvenirs and handmade crafts—and, of course, the famous rice terraces.
A stunning landscape of terraced fields carved into hillsides, stretching over 600 hectares. Gorgeous viewpoints make it special, and the chance to see (or even try) rice harvesting gives kids unforgettable memories.
A beautiful spot for both photos and swimming. Kids love the natural pool beneath the falls—just keep a close eye on little ones.
Several cafés on site make it easy to grab a snack.
Kids can see exotic animals and even feed some of them. The zoo offers various programs, including hands-on encounters—often the highlight of the day for younger children.
Here you can not only observe wildlife, but also ride elephants. The park has a full program of shows and activities for children of all ages.
