Which Part Of Bali Is Best For Families?

Bali is big, but the best places to live in Bali with family would be in the more popular neighborhoods of Seminyak (and neighboring Petitenget, Umalas & Kerobokan), as well as the ever-popular hip and trendy Canggu and the calm and laid-back Sanur.

Let’s take a look at what each neighborhood has to offer:

Seminyak

Bali’s most famous & fashionable coastal city is filled with world-class shopping, incredible dining, fantastic pampering, and great entertainment at every corner while beautiful Seminyak Beach is a must-visit, with numerous casual restaurants, beach shacks & beach clubs lining the water’s edge. You can go surfing, horseback riding, or swimming, or head to ‘Eat Street’ to find the best restaurants on the island.

Canggu

Bali’s most vibrant and trendy neighborhood has beautiful and unique cafes, restaurants to suit all tastes and preferences, and the island’s most exciting beach clubs, shopping, and spas. The vibe here is distinctly different from Seminyak; it’s fresh and unique with so much to see and do. There are wellness & health classes, meet-ups, and fun group activities for both adults and the little ones.

Sanur

Sanur offers a charming island experience but without the traffic, the noise & the crowds. The town offers elegant dining venues, cool entertainment, amazing spas, and great shopping all wrapped up in a relaxed yet elegant coastal ambiance. The beaches here are soft golden sands with clear calm water, with a long stone promenade that’s lined with gorgeous restaurants, beach clubs, shops, and cafes.

Where Do Most Foreigners Live in Bali?

In Seminyak, Canggu, and Sanur, there is a huge international community, a healthy mix of locals & foreigners living seamlessly together, as well as a wide range of beautiful and luxurious, family-friendly villas for sale or for long-term rent to choose from.

Here are our top three villa recommendations that you’ll love.

Coastal Soul Villa

A stunning, modern villa in the heart of Seminyak designed for effortless resort-style living, Coastal Soul Villa is perfect for families, with three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms in soft ocean and earthy tones and floor-to-ceiling windows. Expansive stunning ensuites evoke feelings of luxury & pampering while the open living and dining area invites the outdoors in. Entertaining and relaxing is easy with a fully-equipped bar and kitchen, a guest bathroom, a large shimmering swimming pool, and lush tropical landscaping. The villa is filled with natural light all around, and uses all-natural materials and finishing including stone and rattan.

Villa Coconut 3

A strikingly modern and minimalistic 2-story, 3-bedroom villa in the trendiest Canggu neighborhood, Villa Coconut 3 comes with an eye-catching monochrome exterior, tinted windows, and an outdoor lounge on emerald green grass that overlooks the pool. The black & white minimalistic theme is punctuated with warm tropical accents, creating a delightful mishmash of styles that is distinctly unique and aesthetically pleasing. The monochromatic theme continues indoors throughout the open-plan living & dining space, in all marble bathrooms, and in the kitchen & laundry area. You’ll love the floor-to-ceiling glass windows that are all around & the balcony that runs the length of the second floor.

Villa Mahakarya

This stunning boho-style villa is a desert-inspired oasis in Seminyak’s neighboring town of Kerobokan. Designed in brilliant shades of white, beige, and sand, Villa Mahakarya comes with three gorgeous bedrooms decorated in earthy tones, complete with vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and beautiful ensuites that embrace the outdoors. There is a closed living and dining area, a fully-equipped kitchen, and the pièce de résistance – an all-white, strikingly beautiful outdoor lounge area, built slightly raised from the ground up, which nestles a shimmering blue swimming pool, a covered seating area with rustic accents, cozy rattan and hardwood furniture, desert décor, palm trees and cacti.  The villa also comes with a storage room and a laundry area, a fishpond, and a garage.
