Travelling to Bali with kids is one of the best things you can do as a family. Travelling with kids and the wrong villa is a different experience entirely. Every villa in our collection has been personally assessed for family-friendly features — not so we can tick a box on a listing page, but so that when a parent calls us during the booking process and asks the questions that actually matter, we can answer them clearly and confidently.
Here’s what that assessment looks like, and what it means for your family.
We Know Our Villas, Family Floorplan by Family Floorplan
When families call us about booking villas in Bali with kids, these are the questions we
hear most:
Can the living room be enclosed so the kids have a contained space?
Do the bedrooms interconnect, or are they under the same enclosed roof?
Can we get an extrabed in our room for a child who’s not ready to sleep separately?
Is there a garden the kids can run around in without access to a busy road?
What’s the villa actually like across multiple levels?
We can answer all of these — because we’ve assessed every villa in our collection in person, family floorplan by family floorplan, with exactly these questions in mind.
For multi-level villas — which are common across our Canggu, Seminyak, and Uluwatu collections — we advise specifically on areas to watch with young children, including staircases, open terraces, fish ponds, and water features that don’t always appear in photos.
We provide stair gates as part of our standard equipment, and we can tell you before you book exactly where they’ll be needed and how the villa is set up around them.
What We Provide for Families
We don’t ask families to pack for every possibility. Our standard baby and toddler equipment, available across our villa collection, includes cots with fitted mattress, linen and mosquito nets, stair gates, baby monitors, bottle sterilisers, baby baths, baby bouncers, travel strollers, and car seats for airport transfers and day trips. Everything is arranged ahead of your arrival through our family concierge service, so it’s in place before you land rather than sorted on arrival.
Pool Fencing — Arranged Before You Arrive
Pool fencing is not a requirement in Bali and is not standard across most villas. We arrange installation through trusted local suppliers ahead of your stay, including safety gate latching, tailored specifically to each villa’s layout and pool design. All Bali Family Villas also include complimentary pool floats, inflatable pool slides can be hired, and we’re happy to lend floaties or swim vests — just ask our team.
Our team has also researched which pools in our collection have shallow splash sections or steps that work well for younger children, so we can match your family to a villa that suits the actual ages and stages you’re travelling with.
The Questions We Can Already Answer
When parents call us about villas in Bali with kids, the questions we hear most often are the same ones most listing pages don’t address. Can the living area be enclosed?
Do the kids’ bedrooms connect to ours? Is there a shallow end in the pool? Are there fish ponds or open water features to be aware of? What’s the villa like across multiple levels? But it goes beyond the villa itself. We can suggest trusted nannies and babysitters for families who want a night out or simply a few hours to themselves. We know the cafés near each area that have play spaces, which restaurants are genuinely good for fussy eaters, and where to find kid-friendly activities close to wherever you’re staying.
Because we’ve assessed our entire portfolio in person and spent years living and working in Bali, we can answer all of these before you commit to a villa — and if a property isn’t the right fit for your family’s specific situation, we’ll tell you that too and point you somewhere better.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Bali villas provide baby equipment?
Most don’t include it as standard. We provide a full range of baby and toddler equipment across our collection — cots with fitted mattress, linen and mosquito nets, bottle sterilisers, baby baths, monitors, stair gates, baby bouncers, travel strollers, and car seats — all arranged through our concierge service ahead of arrival.
Are Bali villa pools safe for toddlers?
Pool fencing is not a requirement in Bali and isn’t common. We arrange pool fencing installation through trusted local suppliers, including safety gate latching, tailored to each villa’s layout. We also advise on pool depth, shallow entry points, and any other water features across the property when you enquire.
What’s the best area in Bali for a family with kids?
Every area in our collection has something going for it — it really depends on what your
family wants from the trip. Walkability, proximity to cafés with play areas, beach access,
and how much you want on your doorstep versus a quieter base all factor in. Sanur and
Seminyak tend to suit families with very young children thanks to calmer beaches and
flat terrain, while Canggu has a great café and play space scene, and Ubud works
brilliantly for families after cultural experiences and nature.
Our Bali Family Guide breaks this down area by area, and our team can talk you through which location suits your group specifically.
