Staying in a beach-area villa (Seminyak, Canggu, or Sanur) keeps travel simple and downtime easy. Here’s a realistic, kid-friendly plan with built-in rest days.
Days 1–2: Settle, Sunset & Easy Wins
Day 1: Arrive, unpack, swim. Order in simple villa dining (nasi goreng, fruit platters) and keep bedtime early.
Day 2: Morning beach play (calmer in Sanur; broad sands in Seminyak). Afternoon spa split: one parent at a nearby spa, one at the pool with the kids. Early dinner at a family-friendly café; gelato walk.
Days 3–4: Culture & Nature (Half-Day Style)
Day 3 (Ubud sampler): Rice terraces (Tegallalang early), short temple stop (Tirta Empul or Saraswati), lunch in Ubud, back by mid-afternoon for pool time.
Day 4 (Animals or Water): Choose Bali Safari & Marine Park or gentle snorkeling at Blue Lagoon, Padang Bai. Pack snacks and sun shirts; schedule naps on the drive home.
Day 5: Villa Day & Chef Dinner
Recharge with a full villa day: pool games, board games, and a simple cooking class or private chef dinner at sunset. Confirm proper seating for your whole group and discuss dietary needs ahead of time.
Day 6: Beaches & Sunsets
Head south for Uluwatu cliffs or a Jimbaran beach day. Book loungers at a family-friendly beach club with shallow pools and shaded daybeds. Back to the villa for bedtime routines that keep kids balanced.
Day 7: Markets & Mementos
Local markets or boutiques for souvenirs, then a final long swim. If flights are late, arrange a late checkout or bag drop with the villa team and plan a last easy meal nearby.
