Padma Resort Legian

Padma Legian is the family favourite of Bali's west coast, a big, green, beachfront resort with a genuinely brilliant pool complex. The star for children is the family pool, with three waterslides, water spouts and a shallow splash area right next to the free Wolly Kids Club, which runs from 9am to 9pm. It sits directly across a quiet lane from Legian Beach, calmer than neighbouring Kuta but still an open surf beach, so it is one to watch. With sunset over the sea, a lively but not chaotic setting and shops and restaurants a short stroll away, it is the classic all-action west-coast family week.
Our verdict
The west coast family champ: a superb three-slide family pool, a free late-opening kids club and beachfront value at Legian.
The rooms
Padma Legian is built around families, with a dedicated family block and rooms sized for real trips. The Premier Double Double gives one bedroom two queen beds and a bathtub, ideal for toddlers and young children, while suites step up to two bedrooms and Presidential units add three bedrooms with a private pool. Kids stay free in existing bedding on many rates, cots are provided, and the family rooms sit close to the waterslide pool and the Wolly Kids Club so nap-time dashes are short.

Is it right for your kids?
Baby

The shallow splash pool and free cots work well, and the short airport transfer helps after a long flight.

The prime age here: three waterslides, the games centre and a late-opening club.
Teen
12 yrs and up
Surf lessons on Legian, the games consoles and Seminyak's shops nearby keep teens busy.

Parents also ask
Is the kids club free?
Yes, the Wolly Kids Club is complimentary for guests aged 4 to 12, and it stays open unusually late, from 9am to 9pm.
Can children swim in the sea?
Legian is an open surf beach with rip currents, so young children should swim in the pools, and older ones only near the flags with close supervision.
Is it walkable to shops and restaurants?
Yes, Legian and Seminyak's shops, cafes and restaurants are a short flat walk, which is a big plus over the more isolated Nusa Dua strip.

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay
This is a resort of private villas, not rooms, and that changes everything with children. Each of the 147 Balinese villas has its own walled garden and plunge pool, so bath time, naps and toddler meltdowns all happen behind your own gate. One, two and three-bedroom layouts scale from a couple with a baby to three generations together, and family villas sit steps from the playground and pools. Cots and babysitting are complimentary, children under twelve stay free and under-fives eat free, which softens the sting of the price.

The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas
Everything here is oversized, and that works in a family's favour. Even entry-level suites run to 130 sqm with a separate living area and space for two adults and two children under twelve, so no one is climbing over a suitcase. Ocean-facing suites put the calm Geger Beach lagoon a lift ride away, and the villas add private pools and multiple bedrooms for larger groups. Cots come free on request, and the sheer size of the rooms makes early bedtimes and toddler naps far less of a battle.

Grand Hyatt Bali
Set in a village of Balinese-style low-rise blocks around tropical gardens, the Grand Hyatt has room types that suit every family shape. Standard rooms take a cot easily, and the connecting rooms and themed family suites are the pick with two or more children: the ocean-themed kids room comes with shell-shaped twin beds and its own mermaid bathroom, joined to a parents' room next door. Ground-floor garden rooms cut out the stairs with a buggy, and the calm lagoon beach is a short stroll through the gardens.
