Where to relax in Bali with a baby. Bali with children: the best beaches and entertainment. Best holiday areas

There is an opinion that Bali is not a place for a calm and measured holiday. And mostly people really come here for vivid impressions, positive and unforgettable emotions. The boundless ocean, black volcanic sand, green rice terraces - the brightness of the local colors amazes even the most capricious traveler. Of course, you shouldn’t come here specifically for the sake of children. But you can take your child with you to Bali.

There is plenty of sun here, the beaches are dominated by warm sand, and the shops sell delicious fruits and fresh seafood. A lot of vacationers from all over the world and immigrants come to the island, so preschool institutions There are also plenty of educational activities here. And a large selection of private housing does not create any problems with choosing a place to live. It is only important to properly prepare for traveling with children.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of holidaying with children in Bali?

Visit paradise island with a child has a number of advantages. Firstly, it strengthens the child’s immunity, which is facilitated by the excellent ecology, clean air and proximity to the ocean. In addition, in fabulous Bali, a huge amount of delicious, exotic fruits grow, most of which are impossible to buy and try in Russia. They are able to saturate a growing child's body with all the beneficial vitamins and minerals.

Secondly, while relaxing in an international place, the child becomes more relaxed and sociable. He can even learn a little spoken English while traveling, and also try different types sports Regardless of the age of your child, he will not be bored in Bali: he works here a large number of There are various development centers, there are attractions, parks, a zoo, a dolphinarium, a water park and more.

As for the disadvantages of holidaying with children in Bali, here we can highlight:

  • Availability huge amount insects - a mosquito net will save you from them;
  • the likelihood of intestinal infections - you need to strictly observe hygiene;
  • a long flight to the island, which not every child can survive.

If you still decide to go to Bali with children, then pay attention to the fact that best time The years for holidays with a child in Bali are considered to be spring, summer or autumn.

In winter, of course, it is not as cold here as, for example, in Russia, but it is still not recommended to come here with children in the cold season. The rainy season lasts until March on the exotic island of Bali. They don’t pour all day long, mostly at night. But high humidity at this time of year contributes to the appearance of strong fungal formations on the walls, which is not good for any human body.

Which area of ​​Bali is best to go with children?

For holidays with children, you can choose one of the following areas:

  • north of the island, Lovina beach - the place itself is located quite far from the center of Bali, but the water here is clear, and the sand on the beach is mostly gray and black;
  • in the port area, in Padang Bai or on Sanur - these areas are at a decent distance from the noisy Kuta and the beaches of Bukit, so many vacationers with children are based here, the water here is quiet and calm, the strength of the tides is insignificant, the waves are low, and near the shore there is shallow water;
  • Bukit Peninsula - in this place of paradise Bali, a rustic atmosphere reigns: there are very few cars driving here, there are almost no traffic jams, and the amount of available greenery, numerous representatives of flora and fauna is pleasantly pleasing to the eye, and deserve special attention local beaches- Uluwatu, Pandava, Nusa Dua and Tanjung;
  • Virgin Island is a particularly suitable place for family vacation with children due to its distance from popular resorts Bali and a small number of holidaymakers;
  • the beaches of Jimbaran and Padang-Padang are places that are worth coming to with an older child, since the waves here are decent and the child is unlikely to be comfortable among the crowds of numerous tourists.


If you are traveling with a child for a couple of weeks, you can stay in a hotel room. If the duration of the intended trip is longer three weeks, then in this case it is better to rent a small house or villa with a private pool for the same money.

Individual accommodation in Bali can be found in two ways:

  • in advance, while still at home, via the Internet - in this case, be prepared to overpay $200-300 per month for reservations and realtor services;
  • or upon arrival on the island - in 2-3 days of careful searching it is quite possible to find a good house with a swimming pool and all the amenities for $450-600 per month.

When choosing your first housing search option, use the world famous Airbnb service. Accommodation on the website is booked with prepayment, but you shouldn’t worry too much about this: the landlord will receive the money only on the second day of your stay on the island and only if the tourist makes no complaints about the service.

Having preferred the second option, upon arrival on the island, take a taxi or rent a scooter and go in search of residential premises with a “for rent” sign on the house. Drive around the island, interview local residents, ask about housing in shops and stores. And you will definitely find an acceptable option for yourself. The cost of renting residential premises in Bali varies from 10 thousand rubles per month for a room in a good home hotel to infinity. Here you can find accommodation to suit every taste and budget.

For families with children, choose a villa with a private courtyard and a swimming pool, if possible. Of course, it will cost a little more than a regular house, but living in it will make your life on the island much more comfortable.

When concluding a rental agreement with the landlord, be sure to clarify the following points:

  • is it included in the rental price public utilities(otherwise, be prepared to pay an additional $30 per month for water and electricity);
  • is there internet in the house (in most cases there is not, but maybe you’re lucky);
  • does the rented premises have all the necessary furniture, dishes and bed linen;
  • Are air conditioners installed in all bedrooms, is there hot water everywhere in the house;
  • Are there any noisy roads or construction sites near the rented house?
  • as well as how often the pool and yard area are cleaned.

By the way, the Internet in Bali is very slow. Therefore, if you are planning to freelance here on the Internet or communicate with your friends and relatives on Skype, or on social networks, then you can safely forget about these plans. It is unlikely that this will succeed.

Ask the owner of the house to find you a housekeeper. Her help with the housework will greatly simplify living with children in conditions of high humidity and an abundance of ants. Having a housekeeper permanently stay in the house and help you look after small children will cost you $110-150 per month, cleaning once a day will cost you about $60 per month.

Transport in Bali

Getting around the island is no less important than finding accommodation for a holiday with children in Bali. If you come for a long time, then you cannot do without a rented car or moped. Renting a vehicle here is relatively inexpensive: a scooter starts from $55 per month, a car starts from $200. With a child, it is still better to choose the second option: in the car he can sleep during long trips around the island, and also hide from the rain during a tropical downpour.

Renting a vehicle also gives you the opportunity to save a little on renting housing and look for a house or villa to live in. coastline, and a little further from the ocean. It also allows you to move freely throughout Bali. Of course, traffic around the island is very chaotic and dense, but if you have experience driving in big city, then you won’t have any problems getting around in Bali. Otherwise, it is quite possible to master the local driving features, but this must be done gradually and very carefully.


It’s not a problem to feed your child tasty and satisfying food in Bali and not go hungry yourself. There are plenty of small cafes, restaurants, pizzerias and the usual McDonald's. In catering establishments, children can be fed soups, rice and vegetable dishes, chicken, meat, salads, fruits and freshly squeezed juices. The main thing is not to forget to ask the waiter so that the cook puts less spices in the ordered food. From dishes local cuisine children may well enjoy soto ayam - chicken noodle soup and nasi goreng - rice stir-fried with vegetables. A full meal in a cafe will cost 80-90 thousand rupees.

For lovers of homemade food, there are various grocery stores in Bali where you can buy all the necessary products for cooking:

  • large supermarkets - for example, Carrefour in Kuta;
  • smaller stores - for example, local retail chains Nirmala or Pepito;
  • and mini-markets with a small selection of products and slightly inflated prices - “Circle K”, “Minimarket” or “Indomare”.

In large supermarkets and stores, in addition to groceries, you can also buy diapers and diapers for children, baby food, toys and hygiene items, and more.

The most profitable way to shop on the island of Bali is in small local shops or grocery stores. Eggs and milk here cost $1.50, a bag of coffee costs $1, and bacon or sausage costs about $3. Fruits and vegetables can be purchased from free-standing fruit stalls. A string bag with watermelon, large papaya, delicious bananas and ripe pineapple will cost about $5.

Where to go with a child in Bali

Even the biggest lovers of a relaxing holiday may sooner or later get tired of simply lying on the beach under the warm sun. In this case, be sure to visit one of the following exciting places:

  • Monkey Park in Ubud - here you can watch the life of monkeys and other animals in nature, as well as admire stone statues of Hindu mythology;
  • Bird and Reptile Park - in this place you can see about a thousand species of different birds and about three hundred species of crocodiles, as well as admire the chilling show of predators;
  • Dolphinarium – not far from the coast of Lovin beach you can ride boats, look at dolphins, and also swim with kind creatures in a separate pool;
  • Elephant Show in Taro - in a fenced park you can watch a unique elephant show, and after it ride through the jungle on these huge animals and even feed them;
  • Butterfly Park is in this unusual place You can get acquainted with the amazing world of winged insects; about two thousand butterflies of unusual shapes and colors live here.
  • Botanical Garden – here you can introduce your child to all the variety of colors and aromas of the tropics, as well as hang on vines and jump on numerous trees in the fenced “Feel Like Mowgli” attraction.

There is also a separate large zoo in Bali, where the vast territory of the zoo is home to an incredible number of animals and birds. The zoo hosts organized demonstrations four times a day, during which zoo workers tell visitors about its many inhabitants. In the evenings, a fantastically beautiful fire show is shown here.

There are also water parks in Bali. There are more than enough water attractions here. The largest water park is Waterbom in Kuta. It is better to come here early in the morning so that you have the opportunity to fully enjoy all the attractions and have enough time for it. A child's entrance ticket to the water park costs $21, an adult - $33.

Small water parks are open here at every hotel and supermarket. For example, in Bukit there is a good mini-water park near the Nirmala supermarket in the Ungasan area. It is small in size and there are not very many slides inside, but the cost of entry to the territory is only $5.


There are both private clinics and large hospitals in Bali. But treatment without insurance will be very expensive for the parent’s wallet. Therefore, before your trip, you must take out an insurance policy from any Russian company. And it is better to do this where cooperation with International SOS is officially confirmed. Let better insurance will remain untouched, but you will know that you can count on medical care in any situation.

The main problem that may arise when traveling to Bali with children is their acclimatization. But we should not forget that the adaptation of a child’s body to new conditions of existence is a purely individual matter, and each child experiences it in his own way. Before going to Bali, read less about various horror stories on the Internet, in which parents write that their children suffered from heat, vomiting and diarrhea. In most cases, the child’s body gets used to new conditions in 7-10 days. Yes, at this time there may be minor stomach problems and a certain increase in temperature. But you shouldn’t fall into a state of panic and immediately run to the doctors. It is enough to provide during the period of acclimatization of the child big amount liquids and limit him from consuming exotic food that is unusual for the child’s stomach. Introduce tropical fruits and various local foods into your child’s diet gradually. In the first days, also spend less time in the open sun. And be sure to include a lunchtime nap in your daily routine. If you follow all these simple recommendations, the negative consequences of acclimatization will be minimized.

Pay close attention to any wounds or bites on your child’s body. Even the most harmless mosquito bite at first glance can turn into a rather serious problem, especially if a child starts scratching it. Don't forget to take enough necessary medications with you, and consult with your pediatrician before traveling. By the way, almost all domestic doctors are not particularly enthusiastic about such trips and advise against taking too young children on long trips to exotic countries.

What to take with you

When traveling to Bali, especially for a long time, you should carefully prepare.

Be sure to take sunscreen with a high protection factor and a first aid kit with you. Of course, you can buy protective cream in Bali. But by the time you arrive on the island and find a pharmacy or a store with cosmetic supplies, your baby’s delicate skin will have time to burn. At least one tube or bottle must be taken with you from Russia. You can also put Panthenol anti-burn spray in your suitcase. It will not be worse.

As for the first aid kit, you shouldn’t take a lot of medicines in Bali. The minimum pharmacy kit should include the following components:

  • antiseptic for treating wounds and antibacterial hand gel;
  • insect bite repellent;
  • antidiarrheal medicine;
  • brilliant green and iodine;
  • antipyretic drugs and antibiotics (children and adults);
  • antihistamine tablets;
  • thermometer, plasters and bandages.

When choosing children's clothes and shoes for a trip to Bali, try to take the most comfortable sets (preferably light shades), made from natural materials - cotton or linen. Take a couple of warm clothes too. Though exotic island and has a hot climate, but in the evenings it is sometimes still cool here. Be sure to pack a couple of swimsuits and hats for you and your baby in your suitcase. The latter will reliably protect your heads from the aggressive rays of the sun.

If your baby is in infancy, then be sure to take a stroller, despite its size and inconvenience in transportation, or a sling. It is very difficult to carry a baby in your arms in hot weather, and these items will definitely serve you well on the island.

Be sure to download your child’s favorite cartoons and children’s movies to a flash drive or external drives to play them in the evenings on the island or before bed. As mentioned above, the speed of the Balinese Internet is negligible. It won’t allow you to fully enjoy watching your favorite videos on Youtube, but will only make you more nervous.

Summing up, we can confidently note that the island of Bali is quite suitable for holidays with children: both for short-term and long-term. The main thing is to properly prepare for the trip, take everything you need with you, plan a cultural program for your stay on the island and choose a suitable resort for your stay.

“Wonderful” tips for holidays with children. With all due respect, but why try on everyone the lifestyle of parents who, from the cradle, carry toddlers in shoulder and chest bags, like a kangaroo.



The article is worth 10 percent.



1. The water park in Greenpark, like the entire Dreamland complex, is initially positioned for local market- Well, there’s nothing for a normal tourist to do there. They have not assimilated to such an extent that they can swim in the same pool with young people in black family shorts, or a Muslim woman in a headscarf.



2. About the beaches - if Padang-Padang can still be recommended back and forth, then it’s hard for me to imagine a parent who, with one or two children, will climb all 150 or 200 steps down to Uluwatu. As for criticism of Jimbaran, this is where it’s really worth going at low tide - one thing is absolutely flat, the absence of waves gives enough space to swim and crawl through the shallow water. As for the relative cleanliness of the beaches, then, alas, there is not a single beach in Bali that is always clean. On Padang, the same can attract a mixture of jellyfish with a suspension of sand, and Jimbaran will be perfectly clean from about May to October, if there is no rain. Guys, surfers, don’t make everything equal.



3. The absence of waves in Amed is a myth. And the main thing is that here, for the most part, there is a pebble beach, which is inconvenient for an adult to walk on, not to mention children. If you want to give your child the opportunity to snorkel, head to the Bali Hai or Quicksilver platform near Lembongan Island.



4. About Lovina - a dubious pleasure, considering 3 hours of sawing in one direction. Suitable for those who come to Bali for a long time and do not have specific plans. Not suitable for those arriving on a pre-planned route. 0.5% of tourists change plans at the place of stay and leave somewhere else for an overnight stay.



5. It’s not at all clear about the Monkey forest advice - about monkeys that can simply maim your child?! Be careful, it's better to write. And it is not recommended to visit with small children.



But where are the rave reviews about the magnificent Bird Park with three aviaries for free flight??? There is also a reptile park here.



Why is there little attention to Safari Park, which shows the excellent modern musical "Bali Agung", which hosts about 170 actors imitating village life on the wall, as well as a dozen elephants, tigers, a flock of ducks, hornbills and many, many others . This is where the carnival of life and the celebration of color are.



The Antonio Blanco Museum is interesting for children only for its garden, if you do not want to shock them with answers to questions about the details depicted in many of the author’s very intimate works. Besides the Antonio Blanco Museum, there are other museums in Ubud.



More about holidays with children. At the villas, Pocket Kandara is a magnificent beach at the foot of the complex, perfect for families with children about an hour after the low tide + there is an opportunity to treat your child to something other than fried rice.



The Shore Beach Restaurant at the Nikko Bali Hotel is open to the public from outside - multi-level pools, jacuzzi, wide sand beach, camel rides, fungi in the pool and other pleasures are at your disposal for 180,000 rupees per person.



In general, the choice of activities for holidays with children in Bali is really large, but be careful when following anyone’s advice if you do not have much experience independent travel with a child behind you, in many hotels Russian guides work either constantly or stop by at least once a day, ask their advice, read the guidebooks and have a good holiday!



Something like this :-) Once again I apologize if I’m in the wrong address, because there are site specifics and all that, but it seems to me that just as it’s wrong to write about Bali only about Nusa Dua, it’s also wrong to talk only about holidays with children of "independent" travelers... Hide.



Amazing! Thanks for the criticism and additions. By the way, you can also publish your article about what is and is not worth visiting in Bali! The site is open to publications by all users, and what is valuable is that here you can read different views and opinions, compare and choose for yourself exactly what suits you. I really liked your comment, the only thing is that I don’t understand chauvinism. You seem to have been living in Bali for a long time - what do you have against Balinese youth or Javanese Muslim women?

Hide.

[email protected] replied 04/28/11 at 09:08

I have nothing against it except my own chauvinism, which is absolutely the same as that of most of my compatriots. And yet, it is not very clear why it is necessary to show some kind of tolerance towards lack of culture, even if you call it “another culture”. Indonesia is a secular country, let's start with that. There is a Muslim majority, but the Chinese have all the money. Alas, Muslims are dirty - that's a fact. It is enough to go to the north of Bali to see the difference, where Balinese settlements end and Muslim ones begin. I don't really understand why I should like this? I also don’t really understand why on an island where a completely different religion, Hindu, is dominant, Muslims should demonstrate their faith to the entire public. Just as I am categorically against hijabs on the streets of European cities, it is also not very clear why I should be for them in Bali. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings, but Indonesian Muslims are dirty, very dirty. Even compared to the Malay Muslims, they are much dirtier and uncivilized. I'm not talking about everyone, I'm talking about the majority. They also take out the villas of both Balinese and foreigners, snatch bags and commit most crimes. What kind of tolerance can we talk about? On last New Year we went with friends to a small hotel in chandidasa. When we drink, we behave civilly. The next day, a crowd of Indonesians arrived from Java, who, wearing black family clothes, sat in the pool, drank beer that flowed from bottles into the small pool, shit everything that could be shit, and neighed like horses. Why should I be tolerant of this? This is not a peculiarity of the country. This is lack of culture, due to backwardness, lack of education and other problems of a third country. This can and must be fought, and I hope that someday Indonesia will at least catch up with Malaysia in terms of its cleanliness. At the same time, I have nothing against the Javanese race or against Muslims in general (I absolutely love the museum complex dedicated to Islam in KL). I hope this explains all my “chauvinism”. I am also against cultureless Javanese-Lombok and other Muslims, as against cultureless surfers, Australians, Germans, Poles and other not the best representatives of the human race :-)



Cheers! And Peace and Love! :-)



P.S. Thank you for the offer to write - we will definitely start soon and write about Bali, about everything connected with it, and we will do it regularly :-) Hide.



It’s clear, I agree that Muslims are not a very clean nation, but, however, Hindus in India also live in completely unsanitary conditions! The Javanese, I think, are different, just like the Balinese and all the other nations of the world. For example, we were in Lombok recently and, despite my same prejudice towards Muslims, we interacted with several very clean and hospitable islanders. I think the fault here is not in Islam, but in the fact that Indonesia is a very poor country with low levels of literacy and medicine. If this country had free medicine and education, the situation would be better. And also regarding your comment about the Bird Park “It’s not at all clear about the Monkey forest advice - about monkeys that can simply injure your child?! Be careful, it’s better to write. And it’s not recommended for visiting with small children. But where are the rave reviews about the most magnificent Bird Park with three aviaries for free flight??? There is also a reptile park here.", So about the Bird Park,



there, during a bird show, an eagle attacked our friend’s three-year-old daughter and grabbed the child; there was a moment of panic, the child then began to stutter. So in any case, there are no completely objective and only correct judgments and impressions.

Hide.

[email protected] replied 04/28/11 at 13:09

Here you are absolutely right, as stated at the end of the very first comment :-)



P.S. If we talk about me, I haven’t been to India precisely for this reason, and I don’t want to, and let them...



P.P.S. And yet, Indonesia is not and has never been a poor country. Country and people are two different things. The people - yes, beggars. The country is rich and even very rich. We have a lot in common with Russia :-) Hide.

Holidays in Bali with children are somewhat different from holidays in many other countries of the world. The thing is that, contrary to the ideas of most tourists and snow-white beaches in bounty style and relaxing holiday on the island good beaches There are not so many suitable for children. Many beaches in Bali have dark volcanic sand, and frequent high and low tides make it difficult to enjoy swimming due to high waves, but there are also quieter places in Bali.

Flying to Bali with a child

We recommend purchasing tickets with one short transfer or without transfers. Take your tablet with you on the flight and load it with cartoons and games. Take your favorite treats on the go. It is better to fly at night so that you can be there by morning.

The best beaches in Bali for swimming with children:

The choice of a beach for a holiday with children in Bali largely depends on the nature of the bottom and the waves that usually occur on this beach. There are not many such beaches on the island, but they do exist.

Perhaps the best of all the resorts suitable for families with children is Nusa Dua. Unlike most resorts, everything here is more civilized, there are no annoying merchants walking along the beaches, everything is clean and many European families with children relax here.

Nusa Dua Beach is considered elite beach Bali. White sand, clean water, beautiful sun loungers and parasols, green trimmed lawns and a large selection of good hotels and villas make it the most popular holiday destination among wealthy citizens.

Unlike most resorts, there are practically no waves on this beach, since it is located not far from the shore. coral reef, which protects the shore.

Nusa Dua has all the infrastructure necessary for recreation, including golf courses, GYM's, spa centers and much more. The disadvantage of the resort is the large number of Russian tourists, which somewhat spoils the atmosphere of an exotic holiday.

Another cool resort aimed at wealthy tourists. The resort has several cool hotels with large areas where children can play and children's pools.

The second most popular beach for children in Bali is Jimbaran. There is no such European gloss as in Nusa Dua, and the waves are bigger, so it is best to relax here with school-age children. There is even a children's surf school for them, where experienced teachers will teach children the basics of this sport. The resort has developed infrastructure with a large selection of accommodation.

Uluwatu - very popular place surfers, but during low tide, a natural pool is formed here, the depth of which is about one and a half meters. There is no developed beach infrastructure here, but there is clean sand and clear water.

Not far from Uluwatu there is another popular place among surfers, Dreamland. Its name is completely justified. Snow-white sand and azure water make this beach one of the most beautiful in Bali. It is best to swim here with children between high and low tides, since the rest of the time there are quite strong waves and it is surfing time.

This magnificent beach is located near the village of Candidasa. Its advantage is its distance from the main resorts of the island, which makes the beach very uncrowded and allows you to enjoy relaxing holiday and beauty local nature. The disadvantage of the beach is that you have to get to it by car.

Choosing accommodation for holidays with children

Many of those who plan independent trip in Bali with children, they are wondering where it is better to live, in a hotel or rent a house or villa. There cannot be a definite answer to this question, so let’s look at the pros and cons, and you will decide for yourself what is best for you.

The good thing about the hotel is that in addition to accommodation, you also get service, but its disadvantage is that there is no homely atmosphere that you could get in a villa. It is better to book any accommodation other than hotels.

As for money, a normal villa with modern furniture and appliances can be rented for about 150-200 dollars per day, and if you rent for long term, it will be even cheaper. Such a villa will have at least 2 bedrooms, and maybe 3 or 4.

If you require a cook or other services, this can be arranged for an additional fee.
