If you are travelling to Bali with young children, pool safety is probably one of the first
things on your mind — and it should be. Most Bali villas are designed with beautiful open
pools that are wonderful for adults but need careful consideration for families with
toddlers and young swimmers. It is one of the first things we talk through with every
family who books with us.
As an Australian family who has lived in Bali since 2008 and raised our own children
here, we take pool safety seriously. Pool fence installation is not something we make
money from — it is simply a service we offer because it is the right thing to do for our
guests. Every installation is a genuine team effort between our experienced eye and our
long-term trusted partners on the ground.
Here is what makes our approach a little different. We do not install fencing right at the
pool edge. Adults and children need clear space at the water's edge — to reach a
swimmer who needs help, to climb out easily, and to move freely without feeling boxed
in. Instead we create a properly considered fenced zone that includes pool furniture
inside the area, so parents can supervise with full, comfortable visibility of the water. We
also assess each property individually — if there are garden ponds or water features that
pose a risk, we will flag and fence those too.
Our fences are mostly bamboo, occasionally metal, chosen to suit each property. They
are set up before you arrive and taken down discreetly after checkout, so there is
nothing for you to organise or worry about. We also provide pool floats for the kids, and if
you would like to arrange in-villa swimming lessons during your stay, we can connect
you with trusted local instructors too — a popular addition for families with little ones who
are just finding their water confidence.
Just let us know when you enquire and we will handle everything.
Pool fence installation is part of our broader family concierge service — you can see
everything we offer families here.
Below are some of our most popular family villas where pool fence installation is
available. Every property on this list has been personally inspected by our team.
Why Pool Safety Matters for Families in Bali
Private villas are one of the best accommodation choices in Bali. They offer space, privacy, and amenities that hotels simply can’t match. However, most villas are designed with open living spaces and unfenced pools, which means families with toddlers need to consider safety measures.
A pool fence is one of the most effective ways to reduce risk and give parents peace of mind. It creates a secure barrier between children and the swimming pool, allowing kids to play safely in the garden or living area without constant supervision.
Many family-focused villas provide:
- Pool fences
- Shallow pool sections
- Baby cots and high chairs
- Toys and play equipment
- Babysitting services
These features make Bali one of the most family-friendly tropical destinations in the world.
