8 family-friendly villas in Bali

Planning a trip to Bali? Why not stay at a villa?

There is a growing number of families who opt to spend their holiday in a secluded villa instead of a hotel or resort, as it often offers privacy that the other options don’t.

A villa is like a home, a private space where you and your family can relax and have plenty of fun without worrying about the kids being too noisy or having to dress up for meals.

Villas are also perfect for bigger groups of a few combined families and friends, as most villas feature common activity rooms in addition to bedrooms.
