Despite the fact that Bali is one of the world's most popular resorts, there is a lot of controversy about holidays here with children. Some try not to bother with this issue at all, pack their bags and go on a trip, others carefully plan their trip, trying to take into account all foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. Let's try to figure out whether Bali is generally suitable for children's holidays and, if so, which areas should be preferred.

Visit paradise island with a child has a number of advantages, among which it is worth highlighting:

  1. Vitamins. Bali offers a huge variety of fruits that are ready to saturate the growing body with all the beneficial vitamins and minerals. Due to various sanctions, there is no opportunity to try many of them in Russia, therefore, in Bali, in this regard, the soul rests. However, a child should be accustomed to exotic foods with small portions.
  2. Health improvement. Good ecology, clean air, proximity to the ocean help strengthen the immune system. On the island you can forget about the flu, colds and other seasonal diseases.
  3. Development. Being in international groups, the child becomes more relaxed, can learn several new words in English and try different types sports
  4. Lots of entertainment. Regardless of the age of your child, he will definitely not have time to be bored. There are a large number of development centers, schools, attractions, parks on the island, there is a zoo, a dolphinarium, a water park, and this is not the whole list.
  5. Large selection of cafes and restaurants. In Bali you will find dishes from different cuisines of the world, there are vegetarian and raw food establishments.
  6. Availability good hotels. Bali's hotel base includes modest 3-star and comfortable 5-star hotels. Many have playgrounds, children's menus, and clubs for kids.

Flaws

  1. Not every beach on the island is suitable for water procedures. There are often waves near the coast, which is not the best conditions for a child. In general, a beach holiday in Bali should not be the main purpose of the trip, since the island is not ideal in this regard.
  2. Intense traffic, as a rule, the speed does not exceed 40 km per hour, as a result, getting from one place to another can waste a lot of time.
  3. There are a huge number of insects on the island, from which it is often simply impossible to hide, so you have to save yourself with improvised means. And you should definitely install a mosquito net above the crib.
  4. Intestinal infections. You can encounter them not only in Bali, but in all countries South-East Asia. You must strictly observe hygiene and eat only in trusted places.
  5. The language barrier is also a disadvantage, especially if you plan to spend a long time in Bali. At first, it will be difficult for a child to establish contact with his peers, since they will not understand each other (unless this applies to Russian tourists).
  6. Quite a long flight to the island; not all children can sit in one place for a long time.

Best holiday areas

If you still decide to visit Bali with a child, then you should choose a holiday area that will meet all your requirements. The following areas are popular for families with children:

Sanur

The beach is a wide coastline covered with snow-white sand. Five-star hotels with restaurants and swimming pools are concentrated along the coast. Their territory smoothly flows into the coastal zone, as a result of which it is always clean and comfortable. A coral reef along the coast protects the beach from waves, so the sea remains calm almost always. There is a play center in the center of the beach; children from 1 to 6 years old can visit it; children are supervised there by teachers. The best hotels to visit with children are Prama Sanur Beach Bali, Mercure Resort Sanur and Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur.

Nusa Dua

The resort is suitable for a relaxing holiday; there are practically no night entertainment venues, which means that relaxing with children will be as comfortable as possible. The lack of beaches is low and low tide, but if you study the map in advance, you can plan your time for swimming in the sea and not feel any discomfort. Many hotels have children's clubs with various events, there are separate swimming pools. Many restaurants have developed a special children's menu and provide high chairs. The best hotels are Tanadewa Luxury Villas & Spa, Melia Bali, Hilton Bali Resort.

Semenyak

This is one of the most prestigious resorts on an island that is in particular demand among Europeans. It is famous for its first-class sandy beach, quality hotels and excellent restaurants. The infrastructure along the beach line is well developed; there are no high waves at sea, which creates optimal conditions for swimming. The resort has facilities for children from 0 to 12 years old. Among the entertainments, it is worth highlighting El Parque Bali - a complex for family tourists. Among the best hotels– Villa Coco Bali, D’Penjor Seminyak, Gracia Bali Villas, Sarinande Hotel.

Jimbaran

This is one of the most beautiful, which is suitable for families with children. Quiet and a nice place, near the coast there are waves on rare occasions. The resort has a strong hotel base, however, many hotels are not suitable for children. When planning a trip with a child, pay attention to the following options - Karma Jimbaran, Kayumanis Jimbaran, Le Meridien Bali, Abi Bali Resort and Villa.

Ubud

This area is also a good option for a family holiday; it is especially popular during the low season. The only drawback is the lack of beaches, but there are great opportunities for cultural development. To the number best hotels for children's holidays we can include The Samaya Bali

While vacationing in Bali, you will have the opportunity to find entertainment for a child of any age. Among the most popular places- monkey forest, dolphinarium, bird and reptile park, zoo, elephant show, butterfly garden, skating rink, water park, botanical garden. Of course, this is not the entire list. interesting places. For example, you can take an older child with you rafting. The rafting takes place on large rafts under the supervision of instructors, and the emotions received from such entertainment can hardly be compared with anything.

From all of the above, we can confidently say that Bali is suitable for children's holidays. The most important thing is to properly plan the program of your stay on the island and choose a suitable resort.

Despite the fact that the island of Bali has been in the top popular destinations holiday among Russians, it is worth thinking several times when deciding whether to go here with children. The fact is that traditionally this tropical island not far from the equator, it is chosen by surfing enthusiasts, who are attracted by the waves that are observed all year round on almost the entire coast. So is it possible to go to Bali with a child?

Traditionally, Bali has two seasons: dry and wet. The best time for holidays with children is the dry season, which lasts from May to October, and the most favorable months are July and August. At this time of year the temperature stays at +24 degrees during the day, extreme heat does not happen, and rains occur only for short periods, and even those at night. The water temperature at this time is as comfortable as possible, and the waves are not as strong as during the rainy season, which lasts from November to April.

Features of traveling to Bali with children

Despite the fact that the island is located in Southeast Asia, it has not yet earned such popularity as, for example, Thailand. That is why the number of flights is significantly inferior in number and variety. The flight, even direct, is about 10 hours, and on flights with transfers you can spend more than a day on the way, which may not be to the liking of every child.

Another issue is acclimatization. Babies often need more time to get used to changing weather and time zones. That is why the tour should be taken for at least two weeks, and even better – for three weeks or a month. For the first 3-5 days after arrival, children may be lethargic and moody, and many even develop a cold. Therefore, it is worth taking cold medicines and immunostimulants with you.

The best resorts and beaches for families with children

Even in the dry season in Bali there are waves almost everywhere. Also, one of the features of the island’s beaches is strong ebbs and flows, which make holidays with children unsuitable. And meeting surfers on the open sea can be an unpleasant surprise for a child, even if the parents allow the child to swim.

In addition, for families with children it is not recommended to choose noisy resorts, for example, Kuta, even though the city is closest to the airport. The beaches of Kuta are always dirty and there are strong ebbs and flows. This city is more suitable for youth parties, which take place both day and night. Even if the beach is not a priority for you, noise nightlife Can fit when holidaying with a child. However, there are several resorts that are suitable for families with children, as they have good beaches without waves and comfortable family hotels. The best of them are located on the southern Bukit Peninsula.

Nusa Dua

The resort of Nusa Dua is significantly different from the typical Balinese coast. Firstly, the coastline here is long and wide, covered with fine golden sand. Waves are extremely rare here, since not far from the shore there is a large coral reef that prevents strong waves from reaching the shore.

The second feature of this resort is a touch of elitism, not typical for other parts of the island. Everything here is decorated in a European style: evenly trimmed lawns, golf and tennis fields, goldfish in artificial ponds. Hotel complexes are lined up along the coast, most of which have 4 and 5 star categories and their own territory. By the way, this is a huge plus for families with children, since such hotels always have a children’s pool, and some even have water slides. In addition, hotels in Nusa Dua most often have a children's club and also provide babysitting services.

Jimbaran

The resort of Jimbaran is also located in the south of the island, this small town, whose residents are mainly engaged in fishing. Everything here is more authentic, however, family hotels high-end ones are also present. There are already waves here, however, they are still lower than in other Bali resorts, except Nusa Dua. Basically, fans of surfing come here, and they take their children with them, because there is a children’s surf school here, so the whole family can get involved in this sport. In addition, after leaving the child with a nanny for the evening, parents can go to the party town of Kuta, which is located not far from Jimbaran.

Uluwatu and Dreamland beaches

These beaches are even less suitable for families with children than the first two, however, swimming here is quite safe between high and low tides. On Uluwatu, during low tide, a very shallow pool is formed with sea ​​water, in which children splash with pleasure. Well, Dreamland Beach bears its name for a reason, as it is one of the most beautiful on the island. The sand here is snow-white, and the water has rich blue and blue colors.

Entertainment for children in Bali

Traditionally, in Bali, children go to water parks. In general, every resort has at least one place with water slides, most often they are located on the territory of hotels, where security allows not only guests with children, but also everyone. There are also two large water parks on the island - “Woterbom” in Kuta and “New Kuta Dremark”, which is located very close to beautiful beach Dreamland. These water parks largely determine the choice of Kuta as a resort for families with children, since you can spend the whole day on their territory, even for adults there are slides that are many times more extreme than for children.

If a child shows interest in animals, then you can visit several interesting places at once. The first is the monkey forest, where you can observe the life of these funny creatures in their natural environment. Well, adults will be interested in looking at the stone Hindu mythological statues. There is a forest near Ubud, as well as a bird park, where birds are also found in wildlife. In addition, you can see exotic animals in the Safari Park, elephants in Taro Park, and a visit to the Dolphinarium, where you can even swim with dolphins, will also be interesting.

Children's infrastructure of the island

When it comes to products for children, there is no shortage of them in Bali. In all pharmacies you can buy the most common children's medicines, as well as diapers and baby food different brands. You can also buy baby food in supermarkets, although the choice here will be smaller. Both on the coast and in Kuta there are many shops where you can buy children's clothing, toys and beach accessories. However, there is nothing exclusive or branded here.

As for food, Bali is full of fruits and vegetables; children also enjoy eating rice, chicken and vegetable dishes, which are served in every restaurant and cafe, the main thing is to warn when ordering to add less spices. European food is also common in Bali, especially in Nusa Dua; porridge and traditional fried eggs or French fries are served here.

Still, to go or not to go?

You can go to Bali with a child only if you want to take him with you, but if we're talking about When choosing a resort for a child, it is better to look for some other options. If you still choose Bali as a holiday destination, then children will feel best here during the dry season and in a calm resort, such as Nusa Dua.

There is an opinion that Bali is not a place for a calm and measured holiday. And mostly people really come here for vivid impressions, positive and unforgettable emotions. Boundless ocean, black volcanic sand, green rice terraces - the brightness of the local colors amazes the eye of even the most capricious traveler. Of course, you shouldn’t come here specifically for the sake of children. But you can take your child with you to Bali.

There is plenty of sun here, the beaches are dominated by warm sand, and the shops sell delicious fruits and fresh seafood. A lot of vacationers from all over the world and immigrants come to the island, so there are also plenty of preschool institutions and educational activities here. And a large selection of private housing does not create any problems with choosing a place to live. It is only important to properly prepare for traveling with children.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of holidaying with children in Bali?

Visiting a paradise island with a child has a number of advantages. Firstly, it strengthens the child’s immunity, which is facilitated by the excellent ecology, clean air and proximity to the ocean. In addition, in fabulous Bali, a huge amount of delicious, exotic fruits grow, most of which are impossible to buy and try in Russia. They are able to saturate a growing child's body with all the beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Secondly, while relaxing in an international place, the child becomes more relaxed and sociable. He can even learn a little spoken English while traveling, as well as try out different sports. Regardless of the age of your child, he will not be bored in Bali: there are a large number of different development centers, there are attractions, parks, a zoo, a dolphinarium, a water park and more.

As for the disadvantages of holidaying with children in Bali, here we can highlight:

  • the presence of a huge number of insects - a mosquito net will save you from them;
  • the likelihood of intestinal infections - you need to strictly observe hygiene;
  • a long flight to the island, which not every child can survive.

If you still decide to go to Bali with children, then pay attention to the fact that the best time of year for a holiday with a child in Bali is considered to be spring, summer or autumn.

In winter, of course, it is not as cold here as, for example, in Russia, but it is still not recommended to come here with children in the cold season. The rainy season lasts until March on the exotic island of Bali. They don’t pour all day long, mostly at night. But high humidity at this time of year contributes to the appearance of strong fungal formations on the walls, which is not good for any human body.

Which area of ​​Bali is best to go with children?

For holidays with children, you can choose one of the following areas:

  • north of the island, Lovina beach - the place itself is located quite far from the center of Bali, but the water here is clear, and the sand on the beach is mostly gray and black;
  • in the port area, in Padang Bai or on Sanur - these areas are at a decent distance from the noisy Kuta and the beaches of Bukit, so many vacationers with children are based here, the water here is quiet and calm, the strength of the tides is insignificant, the waves are low, and near the shore there is shallow water;
  • Bukit Peninsula - in this place of paradise Bali, a rustic atmosphere reigns: there are very few cars, there are almost no traffic jams, and the amount of available greenery, numerous representatives of flora and fauna is pleasantly pleasing to the eye, the local beaches - Uluwatu, Pandawa, Nusa Dua and Tanjung;
  • Virgin Island - this place is especially suitable for families with children due to its distance from popular resorts Bali and a small number of holidaymakers;
  • the beaches of Jimbaran and Padang-Padang are places that are worth coming to with an older child, since the waves here are decent and the child is unlikely to be comfortable among the crowds of numerous tourists.


If you are traveling with a child for a couple of weeks, you can stay at hotel room. If the duration of the intended trip is more than three weeks, then it is better to rent a small house or villa with a private pool for the same money.

Individual accommodation in Bali can be found in two ways:

  • in advance, while still at home, via the Internet - in this case, be prepared to overpay $200-300 per month for reservations and realtor services;
  • or upon arrival on the island - in 2-3 days of careful searching it is quite possible to find a good house with a swimming pool and all the amenities for $450-600 per month.

When choosing your first housing search option, use the world famous Airbnb service. Accommodation on the website is booked with prepayment, but you shouldn’t worry too much about this: the landlord will receive the money only on the second day of your stay on the island and only if the tourist makes no complaints about the service.

Having preferred the second option, upon arrival on the island, take a taxi or rent a scooter and go in search of residential premises with a “for rent” sign on the house. Drive around the island, interview local residents, ask about housing in shops and stores. And you will definitely find an acceptable option for yourself. The cost of renting residential premises in Bali varies from 10 thousand rubles per month for a room in a good home hotel to infinity. Here you can find accommodation to suit every taste and budget.

For families with children, choose a villa with a private courtyard and a swimming pool, if possible. Of course, it will cost a little more than a regular house, but living in it will make your life on the island much more comfortable.

When concluding a rental agreement with the landlord, be sure to clarify the following points:

  • Are utilities included in the rental price (otherwise, be prepared to pay an additional $30 per month for water and electricity);
  • is there internet in the house (in most cases there is not, but maybe you’re lucky);
  • does the rented premises have all the necessary furniture, dishes and bed linen;
  • Are air conditioners installed in all bedrooms, is there hot water everywhere in the house;
  • Are there any noisy roads or construction sites near the rented house?
  • as well as how often the pool and yard area are cleaned.

By the way, the Internet in Bali is very slow. Therefore, if you are planning to freelance here on the Internet or communicate with your friends and relatives on Skype, or on social networks, then you can safely forget about these plans. It is unlikely that this will succeed.

Ask the owner of the house to find you a housekeeper. Her help with the housework will greatly simplify living with children in conditions of high humidity and an abundance of ants. Having a housekeeper permanently stay in the house and help you look after small children will cost you $110-150 per month, cleaning once a day will cost you about $60 per month.

Transport in Bali

Getting around the island is no less important than finding accommodation for a holiday with children in Bali. If you come for a long time, then you cannot do without a rented car or moped. Renting a vehicle here is relatively inexpensive: a scooter starts from $55 per month, a car starts from $200. With a child, it is still better to choose the second option: in the car he can sleep during long trips around the island, and also hide from the rain during a tropical downpour.

Renting a vehicle also gives you the opportunity to save a little on renting housing and look for a house or villa to live in. coastline, and a little further from the ocean. It also allows you to move freely throughout Bali. Of course, traffic around the island is very chaotic and dense, but if you have experience driving in big city, then you won’t have any problems getting around in Bali. Otherwise, it is quite possible to master the local driving features, but this must be done gradually and very carefully.


It’s not a problem to feed your child tasty and satisfying food in Bali and not go hungry yourself. There are plenty of small cafes, restaurants, pizzerias and the usual McDonald's. In catering establishments, children can be fed soups, rice and vegetable dishes, chicken, meat, salads, fruits and freshly squeezed juices. The main thing is not to forget to ask the waiter so that the cook puts less spices in the ordered food. From dishes local cuisine children may well enjoy soto ayam - chicken noodle soup and nasi goreng - rice stir-fried with vegetables. A full meal in a cafe will cost 80-90 thousand rupees.

For lovers of homemade food, there are various grocery stores in Bali where you can buy all the necessary products for cooking:

  • large supermarkets - for example, Carrefour in Kuta;
  • smaller stores - for example, local retail chains Nirmala or Pepito;
  • and mini-markets with a small selection of products and slightly inflated prices - “Circle K”, “Minimarket” or “Indomare”.

In large supermarkets and stores, in addition to groceries, you can also buy diapers and diapers for children, baby food, toys and hygiene items, and more.

Fruits and vegetables can be purchased from freestanding fruit stands. A string bag with watermelon, large papaya, delicious bananas and ripe pineapple will cost about $5.

Where to go with a child in Bali

Even the biggest lovers of a relaxing holiday may sooner or later get tired of simply lying on the beach under the warm sun. In this case, be sure to visit one of the following exciting places:

  • Monkey Park in Ubud - here you can watch the life of monkeys and other animals in nature, as well as admire stone statues of Hindu mythology;
  • Bird and Reptile Park - in this place you can see about a thousand species of different birds and about three hundred species of crocodiles, as well as admire the chilling show of predators;

  • Botanical Garden – here you can introduce your child to all the variety of colors and aromas of the tropics, as well as hang on vines and jump on numerous trees in the fenced “Feel Like Mowgli” attraction.

There is also a separate large zoo in Bali, where the vast territory of the zoo is home to an incredible number of animals and birds. The zoo hosts organized demonstrations four times a day, during which zoo workers tell visitors about its many inhabitants. In the evenings, a fantastically beautiful fire show is shown here.

There are also water parks in Bali. There are more than enough water attractions here. The largest water park is Waterbom in Kuta. It is better to come here early in the morning so that you have the opportunity to fully enjoy all the attractions and have enough time for it. Children's entrance ticket to the territory water park costs $21, adult – $33.

Small water parks are open here at every hotel and supermarket. For example, in Bukit there is a good mini-water park near the Nirmala supermarket in the Ungasan area. It is small in size and there are not very many slides inside, but the cost of entry to the territory is only $5.


There are both private clinics and large hospitals in Bali. But treatment without insurance will be very expensive for the parent’s wallet. Therefore, before your trip, you must take out an insurance policy in any Russian company. And it is better to do this where cooperation with International SOS is officially confirmed. It’s better if the insurance remains intact, but you will know that you can count on medical care in any situation.

The main problem that may arise when traveling to Bali with children is their acclimatization. But we should not forget that the adaptation of a child’s body to new conditions of existence is a purely individual matter, and each child experiences it in his own way. Before traveling to Bali, read less about various horror stories on the Internet, in which parents write that their children had a high fever, vomiting and diarrhea almost the entire vacation. In most cases, the child’s body gets used to new conditions in 7-10 days. Yes, at this time there may be minor stomach problems and a certain increase in temperature. But you shouldn’t fall into a state of panic and immediately run to the doctors. It is enough to provide the child with a large amount of liquids during the acclimatization period and limit him from consuming exotic food that is unusual for the child’s stomach. Introduce tropical fruits and various local foods into your child’s diet gradually. In the first days, also spend less time in the open sun. And be sure to include a lunchtime nap in your daily routine. If you follow all of these simple recommendations, the negative consequences of acclimatization will be minimized.

Pay close attention to any wounds or bites on your child’s body. Even the most harmless mosquito bite at first glance can turn into a rather serious problem, especially if a child starts scratching it. Don't forget to take enough necessary medications with you, and consult with your pediatrician before traveling. By the way, almost all domestic doctors are not particularly enthusiastic about such trips and advise against taking very young children on long trips to exotic countries.

What to take with you

When traveling to Bali, especially for a long time, you should carefully prepare.

Be sure to take sunscreen with a high protection factor and a first aid kit with you. Of course, you can buy protective cream in Bali. But by the time you arrive on the island and find a pharmacy or a store with cosmetic supplies, your baby’s delicate skin will have time to burn. At least one tube or bottle must be taken with you from Russia. You can also put Panthenol anti-burn spray in your suitcase. It will not be worse.

As for the first aid kit, you shouldn’t take a lot of medicines in Bali. The minimum pharmacy kit should include the following components:

  • antiseptic for treating wounds and antibacterial hand gel;
  • insect bite repellent;
  • antidiarrheal medicine;
  • brilliant green and iodine;
  • antipyretic drugs and antibiotics (children and adults);
  • antihistamine tablets;
  • thermometer, plasters and bandages.

When choosing children's clothes and shoes for a trip to Bali, try to take the most comfortable sets (preferably light shades), made from natural materials - cotton or linen. Take a couple of warm clothes too. Though exotic island and has a hot climate, but in the evenings it is sometimes still cool here. Be sure to pack a couple of swimsuits and hats for you and your baby in your suitcase. The latter will reliably protect your heads from the aggressive rays of the sun.

If your baby is in infancy, then be sure to take a stroller, despite its size and inconvenience in transportation, or a sling. It is very difficult to carry a baby in your arms in hot weather, and these items will definitely serve you well on the island.

Be sure to download your child’s favorite cartoons and children’s movies to a flash drive or external drives to play them in the evenings on the island or before bed. As mentioned above, the speed of the Balinese Internet is negligible. It won’t allow you to fully enjoy watching your favorite videos on Youtube, but will only make you more nervous.

Summing up, we can confidently note that the island of Bali is quite suitable for holidays with children: both for short-term and long-term. The main thing is to properly prepare for the trip, take everything you need with you, plan cultural program stay on the island and choose a suitable resort to stay.
