The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas

The Mulia is Nusa Dua turned up to full volume: six pools, a long private beach and suites the size of small apartments. For families it hits a sweet spot that few Bali resorts manage, being genuinely glamorous for parents yet packed with things for children, from a splash pool with slides to two kids clubs and a beach bouncy castle. It sits on the quiet southern tip of Nusa Dua, a calm, gated resort area with none of the scooter chaos of the south, so you can let older kids roam a little. It is a splurge, but it delivers the polished, easy, sun-soaked week that a long-haul trip with children is supposed to be.
Our verdict
The flagship family splurge in Bali's calmest beach enclave: six pools, two kids clubs and apartment-sized suites, all beachfront.
The rooms
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.

Parents also ask
Is the kids club free?
Yes, Mulia Kidz and the Explorer club are complimentary for resort guests, with supervised activities through the day.
Is Geger Beach safe for swimming?
It is one of the calmest, most sheltered beaches in south Bali, with a reef that softens the surf, so it is far gentler than Kuta for young swimmers.
How far is it from the airport?
About thirty to forty minutes by car in normal traffic, one of the shorter transfers in Bali, which helps at the end of a long-haul flight.

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.

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.

Padma Resort Legian
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.
