The St. Regis Bali Resort
The barefoot sophistication of beachside The St. Regis Bali Resort is more than just an idyllic escape for couples to indulge in a romantic break, it is a fabulous destination for a meaningful family adventure. One of the St. Regis philosophies is upholding family traditions and crafting new, longlasting family memories, and in Bali there are plenty of opportunities to play together at the island's finest address, whether you have toddlers or teens.
Indulge in the luxurious accommodation and facilities as you experience a holiday to remember. The St. Regis suites accommodate up to two adults and one child, while the two-bedroom villas are perfect for two adults and two children. Set in private tropical gardens with their own pool and direct access to the saltwater lagoon, the two-bedroom villas are open and airy with floor-to- ceiling windows to make the most of the natural beauty and fresh air outside.
Relax in the gazebo or on the sun loungers in the garden, dine outside, or make the most of the spacious living area in air- conditioned comfort with a state- of-the-art entertainment system, three televisions with premium movie channels, a DVD player, ipod dock and high-speed internet to enjoy some quiet in-villa time with the family. The Balinese décor, plush furnishings, separate living room, six-seater dining table, marble bathrooms, equipped kitchenette and butler's quarters for the 24- hour on- demand butler perfectly blend indulgence and practicality.
The resort's young luminaries, aged
4 to 12 years old, can find guided edutainment at the Children's Learning Center, which offers activities as diverse as Balinese crafts and cooking, and is run by professional educators who nurture the children in their care while cultivating each child's innate interests, whether it's yoga, sustainable and local cooking, or photography.
The pristine white sandy beach is just a few steps away and is safe for children of all ages, while the main pool is manned by pool attendants who bring round cool towels to keep guests refreshed. Guests can also ask their butler to make arrangements for an immersive, back to nature visit to the nearby Eco Learning Park, which is supported by R.O. L. E. (River, Ocean, Land, Ecology) Foundation.
Dining at The St. Regis Bali Resort is excellent and the resort's Gourmand Deli is a great place to enjoy some casual dining, grab a gourmet snack or arrange a special picnic hamper. The unforgettable King Cole Bar hosts an indulgent afternoon tea, while Boneka is open for an extensive breakfast buffet, as well as dinner.
Throughout 2020, The St. Regis Bali Resort is offering its Family Fun package, which includes opulent accommodation, luxury round-trip airport transfer, child-sized robes and slippers for young connoisseurs and tailored turn- down rituals, two hours daily for each child in the Children's Learning Center, as well as a scoop of ice cream per day at Gourmand Deli.

Home to the largest free-form pool on the island, Hard Rock Hotel Bali is a holiday haven for fun-loving families. The musiccentric stay is just metres from Kuta Beach with its long swathe of golden sand and perennially popular surf breaks, but there's plenty to keep the kids entertained within the hotel walls, too.
With slides, sprinklers and a waterfall bucket, the mini water park is one of the main attractions for young guests. The central pool also features a volleyball court, rock climbing wall and a daily games programme for young and old. There's Shack Bar, a swim-up cocktail bar for the parents, poolside cabanas for relaxing, and a tropical sand island which hosts family-friendly foam parties on Friday and Sunday afternoons.
Among the other family- oriented facilities are the hotel's three agespecific kids' clubs. There's Lullaby Playroom, an indoor play room for toddlers; Roxity Kids Club, a drop- off club where 4-12 year olds can take part in
activities as varied as sand art, Balinese dance classes and culinary workshops; and Tabu Teens Club, a special venue for young adults with a DJ booth, gaming room and pool table. A mini cinema with beanbags completes the space. Children under 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
No matter what age, music lovers will have much to love at this rock-'n-rollthemed stay. Boombox, the hotel's on-site recording studio and karaoke room, is available all day for guests to use, and vintage record players and a mini library of classic rock vinyl come as standard amenities in the top-tier Rock Royalty rooms. The sonic stimulation continues at the hotel's main bar, Centerstage, where live bands play from 9pm every night. Children and teens are encouraged to join too, with Top 40 covers and the odd Disney theme song making the early evening playlists.
Accommodation options for families are amongst the most creative on the island and the Luxury Kids Suites represent the very best. Light, airy and modern, the spacious quarters feature a living and dining area, master bedroom with luxurious en-suite bathroom, and a children's playroom- cum-bedroom. The latter space features bunk beds, a flatscreen TV, a Play Station 4, soft toys, and even a bucket and spade for some oldfashioned fun on Kuta Beach.
