Unforgettable Bali Family Holidays

Bali With Kids

Bali family holidays are the perfect choice for a fascinating trip abroad with the kids. Bali is a beautiful Indonesian island that is rich in arts and culture. The influence of Balinese Hinduism is found everywhere from the beautiful temples to the intricate wood carvings.

There is something very wonderful about this place-I love, love, love it! I actually have a secret plan to move here one day I love it that much!! The landscape is stunning with beaches, lush green rice paddies and even an active volcano. Combine that with great weather, lovely people and loads of activities for your family to enjoy. Bali with kids is magical.

I went to Bali with my kids and we loved it. Bali is my favorite destination in the whole world ( i might have mentioned that before!). There is a great vibe about this place. It is visually stunning, with beautiful statues, flowers and art everywhere. I highly recommend a visit to Bali with kids (can I come too!).

Where To Stay On Your Bali Family Holiday?

Ubud is located in the interior of Bali and is the arts and cultural center of Bali. I recommend spending a few days here on your Bali family holidays. This place is a feast for the eyes with rice paddies to stroll through and beautiful gardens everywhere. Don't forget to pick up some lovely artwork such as pretty batik paintings and wood carvings.

Kuta Beach

Kuta is the most popular beach destination. This is a great spot for relaxing in Bali with kids. Your family can even learn to surf here. There are lots of restaurants and shopping in the area. Kuta is just a few minutes drive from the airport. However, Kuta can be a bit annoying as people tend to follow you around and not leave you alone until you buy their wares-so beware of that!

Nusa Dua is located in south Bali and is home to many of the luxury hotels. Club Med is here (another favorite!!)There are beautiful beaches in this area and lots of fun water sports available here too. There is a popular golf course in this area.

Scams To Look Out For

As much as I love Bali, it isn't 100% paradise. There are a few scams to watch out for. On our last trip to Bali we tried to change money at one of the money changers in Kuta. He counted the money into 3 piles and allowed us to count it twice. Then he took it back and counted it and when he handed it to us it was missing a pile! So best bet is to change at the airport, your hotel or withdraw money from the ATM.

The other scam we encountered was some people offering a promotional card for a new hotel. They had us pull open the card and revealed that I had won a big prize. They were extremely happy (with very bad acting) and said they would both be promoted to be a manager at the hotel because I had won (haha). They said my prize was going to be either a $1000 US, a camcorder or $250 worth of coupons. There was another part to scratch to see what the prize was but I would have to wait until I arrived at their hotel and the manager would scratch it. They would arrange a free taxi from Kuta to Nusa Dua to collect my prize and see what I had won. On reading the fine print it was required to sit through a 1 hour presentation (time share!) and be gainfully employed. We declined their offer and later scratched the prize part and guess what I won- $250 worth of coupons I would never use!!!
