There is no shortage of fun things for the whole family to do, and aside from the throngs of other tourists here, most visitors find it very exciting. You can enjoy some great Italian cuisine and buy cheap souvenirs everywhere you look, however the best excitement in Kuta is centered at the beach.

The kids can fly kites or just play in the sand while those in need of some adrenaline can engage in body boarding or surfing. For some water sports, a visit to the nearby Waterbom Park is an attractive option.

Ubud

Ubud is Bali’s cultural and arts center and it’s perfect if you want to enjoy quiet time away from the busier beaches. It boasts of several venues that offer nightly shows of various traditional Balinese performances, and most of the venues are kid friendly and set in relaxing outdoor environments.

A visit to the nearby Monkey Forest Sanctuary will provide the kids with great excitement as they get to feed the monkeys with bananas. Many other great nature trails can also be explored around Ubud and you can easily rent mountain bikes for easier exploration. You can also take time to visit the Elephant Safari Park and enjoy a 30-minute elephant ride around the park.

Sanur

Sanur boasts of the most child-friendly beach in Bali. Protected by a reef, the waters on the shore are calm most of the time and this makes it a good place to play around with the kids. It also has a string of nice shops and restaurants close to the beach and it’s a great place for taking a relaxing evening walk.

Lovina

Lovina is another nice place for the whole family to relax.
