Is Bali a Safe Destination for Families with Children?
Yes, Bali is generally a safe place for families. That said, it's important to take precautions: supervise children around pools and beaches, stick to bottled or filtered water, and choose reputable restaurants to avoid food-related illnesses like "Bali belly."
Before you travel, check that all vaccinations are current, and consult your doctor about any recommended travel vaccines.
We personally boiled bottled water before giving it to our toddler, avoided drinks with ice, and packed our own fruit juices and snacks. Having travel insurance is a must—illnesses are common, and it's better to be fully prepared!
If your child falls ill, don’t worry—Bali has several international-standard medical facilities, particularly around Denpasar, Kuta, and Seminyak. Contact your hotel concierge for help. You can also get doctor to visit onsite!

What Are the Best Areas to Stay in Bali with Kids?
Top family-friendly areas include Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Sanur, and Ubud. These regions offer calm beaches, a relaxed atmosphere, and family-oriented hotels and resorts.
Tip: Traffic in Bali can be surprisingly heavy, so choose a location that minimizes time spent on the road between activities.
What Transportation Options Are Best for Families?
The most family-friendly way to get around Bali is by hiring a private driver. It offers flexibility, safety, and convenience, especially with young children. Ride-hailing apps like Grab are available in urban areas, but make sure to request a car seat in advance—or bring your own—as most vehicles do not provide one by default.
