Bali isn’t just for surfing enthusiasts and couples!

Small as it may be, Bali, as we all know, is an extremely popular tourist island. While there are plenty of places catered for easygoing surfers or couples seeking some privacy, accommodation options for families are relatively harder to find.

However, fret not if you are hoping to book a place for a Balinese holiday, with the family in tow! We’ve narrowed down some of the best resorts for the vacationing family looking to enjoy all the wonders this Indonesian gem has to offer. Now all you need to do is choose.

At one wing of the resort famously dubbed as the Family Paradise, children can indulge in the extensive selection of activities tailored to them, with their fun and safety in mind. Choices include indoor and outdoor playgrounds, kids club and swimming pools equipped with a fun water slide!

Adults will find solace in the adult-only pool whereas the kids can frolic around in the kids pool, which is complete with a water fun park.

Choose from villas overlooking the vast Indian ocean, or with your very own private pool. Or better yet, both! Dine like kings and queens (and little princes and princesses) at Kura Kura, where guests can sample Asian, Continental as well as local Indonesian fare. Also, did we mention the larger than life stone amphitheatre? This unique feature of the hotel allows guests to experience al fresco dining under the stars like never before, all while enjoying skilled Balinese performances.

Watch as ostriches, zebras and rhinos leisurely go about their day, adding an exotic flair to the usual Bali getaway.

If you’re there, the tiger, meerkat and giraffe feedings are not to be missed, and with the addition of proboscis monkeys coming soon in the next few months, rest assured you and your family are in for a wild treat. In between participating in the animal feedings and night safaris, drop by their spa for a relaxing massage as well.
