Choosing the Perfect Family Stay in Bali: Resorts vs Villas
One of the biggest decisions when traveling to Bali with kids is choosing where to stay. Do you opt for the bustling energy of Seminyak, the surf-friendly shores of Canggu, or the laid-back vibes of Sanur? Each area has its own charm and suits different family styles. When we first came to Bali, our youngest was still in a travel cot, and we needed space for all of us to stretch out and breathe. We started in a family-friendly resort with a kids’ club and a poolside restaurant. It gave us the comfort of knowing everything was on-site. But as our kids grew, we realized we craved something more personal. That’s when we shifted to staying in villas. Our first villa experience was magical—private pool, kitchen to cook up kid-friendly meals, and the freedom to let the kids splash around without worrying about bothering anyone. It also gave us a real sense of what it’s like to live in Bali. If you’re looking for recommendations, we suggest thinking about what you need most: convenience (stay near the action in Legian or Seminyak), adventure (Ubud for culture and nature), or ultimate relaxation (Sanur for slower family days). Each spot has something special to offer. No matter where you stay, Bali has a way of making you feel at home. Have you found your favourite place to stay in Bali with kids?
