A Month in Bali with Kids: The Ultimate Guide

Bali is often seen as a destination for backpackers or honeymooners, but it is actually one of the most family-friendly places we have ever visited. The culture is incredibly welcoming to children, and the infrastructure for digital nomads is top-notch.

Finding the Right Accommodation

When traveling with kids, we always opt for a villa over a hotel. Having a kitchen and a private pool makes a world of difference. We recommend looking in the Sanur or Canggu areas. Sanur is quieter and has a great beach path, while Canggu has better cafes and co-working spaces.

Top Tips for Villa Rentals:

• Always ask if the pool has a fence (most don't, but you can rent temporary ones).
• Check the internet speed beforehand if you plan to work.
• Ensure there is air conditioning in all bedrooms.

Kid-Friendly Activities

Bali is an outdoor playground. Here are our top three activities:

1. Waterbom Bali: Often rated the best waterpark in Asia. It's clean, safe, and has rides for all ages.
2. Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary: A hit with the kids, but keep a close eye on your belongings!
3. Beach Days: The beaches in Nusa Dua are calm and perfect for little swimmers.

Working Remotely

The internet in Bali is generally excellent. We found several cafes with high-speed Wi-Fi and play areas for the kids, making it easy to balance work and family time.

Bali truly offers a magical experience for families. It's affordable, beautiful, and culturally enriching.
