Though I’m not a parent per se, I do have a 1-year-old Bali dog, which is pretty much the same thing as taking care of your child in my naive, inexperienced opinion. And I’m almost positive I can relate to you mamas and papas out there when you say “Happy kids = happy vacation”. That is the main reason I prefer villas to hotels these days – they are much more pet, erhm, kid-friendly! There is staff to look after your little ones, and you can also request for baby cots, pool fences, specialised food menus in the villa. Parents can relax and enjoy their well-deserved vacays without having to stress about whether or not their accommodation is baby proof. Some Bali villas are even more aptly designed to host families than others, which one of the following will be the best family villas in Bali for you?

In the afternoon, you can have a family BBQ in the garden or a lovely meal in the open-plan living room. The ambience is peaceful and natural, making you feel miles away from all of the hustle and bustle of South Bali and yet, the hot spots of Canggu and Seminyak are just a short drive away.
