The nuances of vacationing in Bali with a child

Lodging. Bali has a good hotel base and a wide range of private accommodation, all of which can be booked online. If you are planning a vacation with children for more than 3 weeks, it is better to rent a house or villa. Houses are offered different levels of comfort and value, but they are all equipped with a kitchen, and if you want you can hire a housekeeper and even a babysitter.

Food: The island has inexpensive pizzerias and Chinese restaurants, the local dishes can be ordered rice with vegetables or chicken noodle soup – usually, these dishes are eaten by children with pleasure. The supermarkets offer all kinds of food, fresh fruits and seafood are a must, as are our usual French cheeses and crusty baguettes.

Renting transportation. How is it to vacation on an island and not see the surrounding area? After all, all the most interesting things are outside the resort. Transport in Bali is easy to rent. But driving on the island is not easy, given the volume of traffic and traffic jams. But there are so many beautiful places to show the kids! In addition, it is quite affordable.

Some parents vacationing in Bali with children, rent a bike – and just put the child in front or between them, as the locals. This is not safe. It is better to rent a car. Find a rental car at Rentalcars.com – it compares prices from popular car rental services. Choose a make and then specify where you want to rent the car and where you’ll return it.

Beaches. There are few good “kids’ beaches” – clean, shallow and safe – in Bali. The ocean is often rough, there are strong tides, because of which you have to choose between them to swim. At low tide, you can not swim, but you can wander and watch the scurrying fish and crawling crabs.

Kuta and Jimbaran are quite crowded for a family vacation, and the water is not the most clear. However, these resorts are suitable for the first surfing lessons in children’s surf schools, and in Jimbaran there are also excellent seafood restaurants right on the ocean. Tourists are not advised to stay in Kuta with children, as the waves are strong, the beach is dirty, and the place itself is noisy and partying.

The resort of Uluwatu is famous for its temple and the beach of the same name. This is a very popular surfing spot, but at low tide here is good for swimming in shallow water with clean sand and scurrying crabs. In addition, there are a few cozy cafes, where you can sit and watch the sunset.

There is also a beach Dreamland near Ubud. The place is great, but suitable for swimming only between low tide and high tide.
