Where to Stay in Bali With a Family

Planning a family holiday that works for toddlers, teens, grandparents, and you? It’s a big ask. But Bali makes it possible. With its warm climate, laid-back rhythm, and something for every age group, it’s no surprise families are booking longer and more often. And if you’re searching for where to stay in Bali for families that want privacy, flexibility and luxury, The Ungasan delivers it all, plus space for everyone to breathe.

Why Bali is Perfect for Big Family Holidays

Bali’s beauty is its variety. You can start the morning with gentle yoga or a massage, head off for waterfalls or surf breaks, and still make it to a beachfront dinner by sunset.

The island offers adventures for energetic little ones, calm corners for grandparents, and enough dadar gulung (sweet coconut pancakes) to keep everyone happy. Even better, the pace is slower. There’s time to rest, reset and reconnect, all while discovering temples, wildlife and jungle paths just beyond your doorstep.

The Ungasan: Bali’s Best Resort for Big Families

Many Bali family resorts look picture-perfect online, but don’t always work for a group. At The Ungasan, each family stays in a private clifftop villa with multiple bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, ocean views and your own pool. There’s space to come together or take a break.

With indoor-outdoor living areas, nannies, private chefs and a concierge who knows how to make magic happen, this is the best family accommodation in Bali that actually works for real-life families, without compromising on comfort or champagne.

Beach Access and Wellness Options

When you’re choosing between Bali family resorts, easy access to the beach can make or break your stay. At The Ungasan, you’ve got private access to Sundays Beach Club—no crowded sunbeds or long walks with sandy toddlers. Just a short stroll (or funicular ride) to soft sand, calm waves and cocktails within reach.

Need a moment of calm between the family chaos? Morning yoga, spa treatments, and in-villa massages are all part of the mix. It’s this balance— beach time for the kids, downtime for you—that makes The Ungasan one of the best family resorts in Bali for those who want both relaxation and connection.

Activities and Services for Every Generation

The Ungasan makes it easy to keep everyone happy. Early risers can ease into the day with yoga or a massage. The kids? Straight into the pool or down to Sundays Beach Club for a swim and a smoothie. Teens might try surfing or join a guided outing.

And you? Dip in and out as you please, whether that’s joining the action or enjoying a quiet coffee (or cocktail) with a view. At sunset, regroup on the terrace for dinner, laughs and no pressure. Just good food and better company.

If you’re still wondering where to stay in Bali for families who like their holidays chilled but luxurious, this is the place.

A Day in the Life at The Ungasan for a Big Family

A family holiday at The Ungasan flows the way you always wish it would:

– Morning pancakes by the pool for the kids, yoga for the grandparents, and your coffee still hot
– Mid-morning beach time at Sundays for safe swimming, clear water and no crowds
– Lunch back at your villa or at Waatu Bali, overlooking the ocean, where you feast on pizza or succulent seafood
– Afternoon quiet time for some, crafts with the nanny for the kids and maybe a sneaky nap
– Evening dinner by your private chef, with kids in PJs by dessert time and a golden sunset hour worth remembering

Fancy a day out? Tell your concierge what you want to do and watch as they create a magical day outing the whole family will enjoy.

Best Locations in Bali for Multigenerational Stays

Picking the right spot in Bali with a big family is no small task. Seminyak? Fun, but hectic. Ubud? Gorgeous, but no beach. Sanur? Peaceful, but maybe a little too peaceful if you’ve got teens to entertain.

Uluwatu strikes the perfect balance. Clifftop views, space to breathe, and enough to do without the crowds (you must visit GWK Cultural Park and Uluwatu Temple). It’s also home to The Ungasan, where your family can spread out, slow down, and actually enjoy being on holiday together.

Why Villas Are Better Than Hotels for Family Holidays in Bali

Hotels are fine until you’re crouched in the dark whispering over chips so you don’t wake the baby. At The Ungasan, you’re in your own villa with proper bedrooms (and doors), your own kitchen, plenty of living space, and a private pool that’s all yours. No waiting for sun lounges or navigating restaurant menus with a fussy eater.

It’s like being at home, if your home had a clifftop view and a private butler to bring you room service.

Planning a Milestone Celebration at The Ungasan

Got something to celebrate? Nan’s 70th, bub’s first holiday, a family reunion that’s actually happening? Let the team at The Ungasan take it from here. We’ll handle the clifftop dinners, the cakes, the spa bookings, and all the bits you’d normally have to organise. You just bring the people and the good vibes.

The Ungasan’s Unique Family Experiences

Not all Bali family resorts hit the mark, but The Ungasan knows how families tick.
Private access to Sundays Beach Club? Tick. Balinese cooking classes and surf lessons for the kids? Yes. Peaceful picnics on the beach. Sorted! Space to do things together or just do nothing at all? That’s the magic. You’re not crammed into a schedule. You just get time that feels good.

Practical Tips for Booking a Multigenerational Family Trip to Bali

Travelling with grandparents, toddlers and everyone in between? Here’s a quick cheat sheet:

– April to October is the dry season and great for beach days
– Agree on a flight time early and book your seats together (especially if Nan insists on her favourite window seat)
– Pack smart and include light clothes, reef shoes, hats, chargers, stomach and medication (just in case)
– Carry your passport, visas, books, snacks and devices in your carry-on luggage to keep little ones entertained
– Apply for your Visa online before you leave and pay any levies (this helps you sail right past the queues at the airport)
– Get travel insurance (especially if someone’s keen on adventure!)
