You don’t just want “a hotel in Bali.” You want the place where the kids are happy in the pool, breakfast is easy, the walk to the beach is simple, and you still have enough energy left at night to actually enjoy being here. This guide does the heavy lifting for you — ranking Bali’s best family resorts by price, so you can match your budget to stays that actually work with kids.

How to use this price-based resort guide (without getting overwhelmed)
Before you scroll and fall in love with every pool photo, take a breath and decide how you want to feel on this trip. Do you want a simple, easy place that lets you spend more on day trips? Or is this the “big” trip where the resort itself is part of the memory?
This guide is built for tired parents who don’t want a spreadsheet. Each price band includes a small, curated list of family resorts that repeatedly earn love from parents for one simple reason: they make the week run smoother.
- Under $100 / night – clean pools, walkable food, smart locations.
- $100–$200 / night – the classic Bali sweet spot with kids’ perks.
- $200–$350 / night – polished, resort-style stays with “we could stay here all day” energy.
- $350+ / night – once-in-a-while, “we will talk about this trip for years” luxury.
As you read, notice which descriptions give you a little “yes, that’s us” feeling. That’s your brain sorting options for you. When a resort clicks, open it in a new tab and compare a few dates with the AWIN/Booking search so you can see real prices for your exact trip.
First, use the Neighborhoods Guide to choose your base (Sanur, Nusa Dua, Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, etc.). Then come back here and just read the price tier for that area. Your choices shrink instantly, and booking becomes a five-minute decision, not a two-week obsession.
Best Bali family resorts under $100 / night
Under $100 in Bali doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. In this band, we’re looking for places that are quietly smart for families: good pools, walkable food, friendly staff, and rooms that feel clean and cared for. These are the stays that support adventure days rather than draining your budget.
🌿 Pondok Sebatu Eco Lodge — Ubud (green, calm, soul-soothing)
For families who want a jungle base without jungle-level prices.
Set in the hills outside Ubud, Pondok Sebatu Eco Lodge gives you the feeling of “we escaped” without feeling remote. Mornings start with mist over the valley, birds in the trees, and kids pointing out dragonflies by the pool. It’s a soft landing after long flights.
Rooms are simple but thoughtfully done, with plenty of natural textures. You’re close enough to access Ubud’s cafes and the Best Family Activities in Ubud, rice terrace walks and gentle waterfall days, but far enough out that nights are quiet.
Check dates and family-room options through this filtered search: Pondok Sebatu Eco Lodge availability.
🏝 Swastika Bungalows — Sanur (budget base, calm streets, easy food)
For families who want calm streets and predictable routines.
In Sanur, the pace is slower, the sidewalks are friendlier, and the water is gentler. Swastika Bungalows sits in that sweet spot where you can walk to restaurants, the beach path and mini-marts, but still retreat to a leafy, shaded pool when everyone’s done.
This is a great choice for families who don’t need a full “resort production,” but do want somewhere that feels warm, local and easy. You can spend the day on the beach path, take small kids for bike rides, or do a one-day hop to the Nusa islands using tours from Sanur–Lembongan family tours.
Compare prices and room types here: Swastika Bungalows search.
🌊 Legian Village Hotel — Legian (classic Bali starter trip)
For families who want a taste of “old school Bali” near the action.
If you picture Bali with market streets, little shops, cafes and sunset walks, Legian is often what you’re picturing. Legian Village Hotel is a long-running favorite for travelers who want a base that feels central without being wild.
There are pools, shaded corners, and enough space for kids to burn off energy before and after exploring. From here you can dip into Kuta’s waterparks (use the Beaches and attractions guides to plan), then retreat back to somewhere that feels familiar by night three.
See current rates and family options via: Legian Village Hotel availability.
Budget resorts pair well with days built around free or low-cost experiences: sunrise beach walks, warung lunches, temple visits from your Best Bali Temples for Kids guide, and a few carefully chosen Family Day Trips.
Best Bali family resorts $100–$200 / night
This is the range where many families find their “we’d gladly come back” resort. Think bigger breakfasts, better pools, kids’ programs, and touches of luxury without needing to watch every snack order. If you’re on the fence about spending a little more, this is the band that often makes the whole trip easier.
🏝 Prama Sanur Beach Hotel — Sanur (beachfront, slides, calm water)
For families who love easy mornings and predictable routines.
Prama Sanur Beach Hotel sits right on one of Bali’s most family-friendly stretches of sand. Picture this: you wander down to breakfast, kids dip between the buffet and the pool, and by 9 a.m. you’re already on the sand, with calm water that doesn’t intimidate smaller swimmers.
There’s a splash area and slides that feel big enough to be exciting, but not so huge that you’re worried every second. Parents can grab a coffee under the trees, sneak in a beach walk, or just sit still for a minute (which might be the biggest luxury of the trip).
Compare your dates and room types via: Prama Sanur Beach search.
🌺 Prime Plaza Suites Sanur — Sanur (apartment-style, kids’ heaven)
For crews that need bedrooms, not just beds.
If you’re traveling with older kids, cousins, or grandparents, Prime Plaza Suites Sanur is built for you. These are full apartments rather than standard rooms: separate bedrooms, living spaces, and a layout that lets little ones nap while older kids chill in front of a movie.
Outside, there’s a dedicated kids’ area with slides, activities and enough structure that you don’t feel like you’re inventing fun all day. It’s a powerful blend: all the practical benefits of a rental, wrapped in resort infrastructure where someone else is handling the towels and breakfasts.
Check availability for your group here: Prime Plaza Suites search.
🌿 Adiwana Resort Jembawan — Ubud (wellness vibe that still welcomes kids)
For parents who want a softer, calmer Ubud stay.
Adiwana Resort Jembawan is tucked into central Ubud, with a wellness feel that doesn’t exclude children. Think long pools cut through greenery, gentle music, and staff who treat your kids like part of the calm rather than an interruption to it.
Because you’re central, you can explore markets, cafes and Ubud’s family activities on foot, then retreat back to something that feels grown-up without being precious.
Look at rooms and wellness packages via this search: Adiwana Jembawan availability.
Best Bali family resorts $200–$350 / night
In this band, the resort itself becomes a main character in your trip. These are places where you can happily spend entire days on property: layered pools, kids’ clubs, thoughtful restaurants and details that make you think “they really did design this with families in mind.”
🌊 Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali — South Kuta (airport-easy, kid-centric)
For long flights, shorter transfers, and quick pool access.
Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali sits close enough to the airport that you’re not facing a second journey with tired kids, yet far enough that you still feel like you’re in a resort bubble. The beachfront lawn, kids’ club and evening activities mean you can recover from jet lag without feeling trapped in your room.
It’s a strong choice for first and last nights, or even a full week for families who like walking along the path, dipping into nearby malls or waterparks, then coming “home” to a place that feels predictably family-friendly.
See family rooms and packages here: Holiday Inn Baruna search.
🌅 Hilton Bali Resort — Nusa Dua (cliff views + family energy)
For families who want “wow” views without losing kid practicality.
At Hilton Bali Resort, the first thing you notice is the height: terraces dropping down towards the ocean, pools layered along the way, and a private beach at the bottom where waves roll in just dramatically enough to remind you you’re far from home.
Kids rotate between the slides, the sand and the kids’ club, while adults get moments of real stillness — morning coffee staring at the water, a quiet walk along the shore, or a spa treatment while the little ones are happily occupied. Nusa Dua’s position also makes it easy to reach Uluwatu, waterparks and day trips from your Family Day Trips list.
Compare dates and room types here: Hilton Bali availability.
🌺 Maya Sanur Resort & Spa — Sanur (design-forward, slow and beautiful)
For families who want calm, contemporary design on a sandy beach.
Maya Sanur is what happens when someone designs a resort for people who love both aesthetics and practicality. The architecture is thoughtful, the beachfront is gentle, and everything feels like it has just enough polish to be special without being stiff.
You step from the resort onto the Sanur beachfront path, which makes stroller walks, scooter rides and quick coffee runs effortless. It’s an ideal match if you’ve read the Sanur Family Guide and thought “yes, that pace sounds like us,” but still want somewhere that feels distinctly high-end.
Check suites and family options via: Maya Sanur search.
Best luxury family resorts in Bali ($350+ / night)
This is where stays turn into core memories. These resorts are for trips where you want the environment itself to feel magical — the kind of place your kids mention years later when they say “remember that pool in Bali?” If you’re going to stretch the budget, this is where doing it intentionally really pays off.
💎 Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan — Ubud (iconic jungle escape)
For families who want to feel like they’ve stepped into another world.
Four Seasons Sayan is one of those places that looks like a movie set: rice paddies, river walks, suspended walkways and villas nestled in the green. Yet, under all that drama, it quietly works extremely well for families — kids’ programs, thoughtful staff, and activities that bring you into the landscape rather than just watching it.
Days here might look like: slow breakfasts with jungle views, a gentle yoga class while kids are in the kids’ club, an afternoon dip in the pool, and an evening walk through the grounds with fireflies flickering. Whenever you want more bustle, central Ubud and everything in your Ubud Activities guide are a short drive away.
Explore villas and family suites via this search: Four Seasons Sayan availability.
🏖 The St. Regis Bali Resort — Nusa Dua (tailored, private, effortless)
For “we want everything taken care of” trips.
The St. Regis Bali Resort is designed for people who want to exhale the second they arrive. Private beach, butler service, lagoon-style suites and villas, and a kids’ club that feels like an experience rather than a holding pen. It is the definition of “we didn’t regret spending more.”
Mornings can be slow at the beach, afternoons by the pool or spa, and evenings full of the kind of service where your preferences are remembered without you needing to ask twice. Pair this with gentle outings from your Best Bali Beaches, Temples and Family Day Trips guides.
Compare lagoon and suite options here: St. Regis Bali search.
🌺 The Legian Seminyak — Seminyak (elegant, walkable, oceanfront)
For families who like sunsets, style, and walk-out-the-door energy.
The Legian Seminyak blends old-school elegance with a location that’s right in the heart of Seminyak’s beachfront strip. It’s ideal if you’ve read the Seminyak Family Guide and thought “yes, I want restaurants and shopping on my doorstep — but I still want to sleep.”
Suites are generous, the pool layout encourages long, lazy afternoons, and you’re a short drive from attractions across the Attractions Guide — beaches, day trips, and experiences easily booked via curated options on Seminyak family tours.
See options and pricing via: The Legian Seminyak availability.
Luxury resorts pair beautifully with fewer, high-quality outings: a sunrise at the rice terraces from your Rice Terraces With Kids guide, a carefully chosen kid-safe waterfall, or a private boat day from curated Bali boat tours.

How to actually pick one — and feel good about it
You don’t need to keep 14 tabs open forever. Here’s a simple process that thousands of parents quietly use to choose a Bali resort without second-guessing it for weeks.
Step 1: Choose your hub
Use the Neighborhoods Guide and the deep dives for Sanur, Nusa Dua, Ubud, Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran and more. Ask: “Which description matches our energy this year?”
Step 2: Set a realistic price band
Look at your whole trip budget (flights, food, activities, transfers). Decide how much you’re genuinely comfortable spending on a place you’ll sleep, eat breakfast and swim. Then choose one price band from this page and ignore the rest. That simple constraint is what frees up your brain.
Step 3: Shortlist 2–3 resorts that feel like “us”
Within your price band, scroll until two or three resorts make you exhale and think “I can see us there.” Don’t overthink it. Your brain is picking up dozens of small cues — pool layout, room style, beach access, neighborhood — that matter more than one extra online review.
Step 4: Compare dates and policies using one search
Open each resort in a new tab using the embedded AWIN/Booking links on this page, then check:
- How prices change across a few dates
- Which ones include breakfast (that’s a big win with kids)
- Which have flexible cancellation or “pay later” options
This is where the general Bali stays search can help you see everything side-by-side if you want a broader sweep.
Step 5: Protect the trip you’ve just built
Once you’ve locked your resort in, back it up with coverage that matches the way families actually travel — missed flights, sick days, twisted ankles, and things that don’t go to plan. That’s where a simple SafetyWing policy can quietly sit in the background and keep a bump in the road from becoming a full derailment: check family-friendly coverage.
Finally, tighten the rest of your plan with the Logistics & Planning Guide, your Beaches, Snorkeling, Waterfalls, Rice Terraces, Animal & Monkey Experiences, Temples, and Family Day Trips. By the time you close your laptop, your trip will feel like a story that flows — not just a pile of bookings.
If this helped you pick a resort, it will help another exhausted parent too.
Share it in your favorite Bali family Facebook group or send it to the person in your life who always ends up planning every trip. It might be the thing that gets them out of the “87 tabs open” spiral.
