The Best Family Resorts in Seminyak (2026)

If I could book one hotel in Seminyak with kids, it’s a suite at Alila. You’re right on the sand with the pools facing the sunset, and dinner’s a short walk away. It’s my top pick for luxury in Seminyak too.

Every suite has a built-in queen bed that fits two kids. I’d book a Deluxe Suite in the main building, close to the pools.

There are several infinity pools, and the family pool is the one set further back. The Play Alila kids club takes kids up to 12, and under-3s need an adult with them.

The catch: the standard Deluxe Room is two adults only, so a family of four has to book a suite. Skip the ground-floor Terrace Suites too. They open onto the adults-only pool, which is lovely for a couple and no good with kids.

The sea out front is rough, so don’t count on swimming in it.

If a suite at Alila is out of budget, this is the one I’d book. It costs far less than the beachfront hotels, and it’s built around one big pool that kids can spend the whole day in.

The lagoon pool has a swim-up bar for parents and a separate kids’ pool for the little ones. There’s a kids club too, with a ball pit, crafts, gaming and Balinese dance.

For a family of four, book the Deluxe Family Room. It has two queen beds and sleeps four. It’s snug once the suitcases are open, so with three kids or teenagers I’d go for the Two-Bedroom Suite, which sleeps five and has its own living room.

The pool-view and pool-access rooms look tempting, but they only take three people.

The catch: it isn’t on the beach. The sand is about a 5-minute walk away, or take the free shuttle to the hotel’s spot on the beach. The rooms are also starting to show their age, and the walls let noise through.

Hotel Indigo is the liveliest family hotel in Seminyak. I like it most for kids aged about 6 and up, who’ll get stuck into the activities.

There’s no kids club, but there’s a free programme every day, from coconut weaving and egg painting to bike rides. There’s a kids’ pool, and the beach is a short walk away. The breakfast spread is a big hit with kids too.

The catch: the rooms. A standard room takes 2 adults and 1 child under 12, with one extra bed or cot at most. A family of four needs two interconnecting rooms or a villa.

Ask for interconnecting rooms as early as you can, as they’re never guaranteed. The Two-Bedroom Villa has its own pool and takes four adults and two kids.

The soundproofing is poor too. I’d ask for an upper floor, as some ground-floor rooms are damp.

The Legian is the grown-up choice, and it handles kids better than its reputation suggests. Every room is a suite facing the sea, and the three-tier infinity pool is the best-looking pool in Seminyak.

There’s no kids club, but the Kids Studio runs sessions every morning and afternoon, like treasure hunts and making bamboo offerings. There’s also a playground and a kids’ menu, and lifeguards watch the main pools from 7 am to 7 pm.

For a family of four, I’d book a two-bedroom suite. Kids under 6 stay free in a cot or your bed, and older kids pay for an extra bed.

The catch: there’s no drop-off kids club, so you’re with the kids most of the day. The Studio Suites can’t take an extra bed either, so skip them with kids.

It’s a calm, quiet hotel. It suits school-age kids who can sit through a nice dinner better than toddlers.

Blu-Zea is the cheapest way to get a proper resort pool in Seminyak. If you knew it as The Breezes, it’s the same resort under a new name, on the same street as the Courtyard.

The pool is the reason to come. It steps down over four levels, with a swim-up bar and a sandy “beach” edge where little kids can sit in the shallows. Older kids get a basketball court, table tennis and a snooker table.

For four, book an Interconnecting room. It’s two rooms joined by a door, with a king and two singles, and it sleeps up to six. Every other room type takes only three people.

The catch: the kids offer is thin. There’s a small Kids Corner, but it isn’t a full kids club, and there’s no separate kids’ pool. With under-5s, I’d pay up for the Courtyard.

It’s also a pain with a pram. There’s only one lift, and the bridge over the pool is steep, with steps. The bathrooms are dated, and the pool bar gets loud until 10 pm.

For a family of three, I think it’s the best deal in Seminyak.
