10 Days in Bali with Kids: The Ultimate Family Itinerary from The Bali Manor Collection

Welcome to a family getaway you’ll never forget — a journey through Bali full of nature, culture, and adventure, all from the peace and luxury of The Bali Manor Collection in serene Cemagi.

This 10-day guide offers one kid-friendly activity per day across the island. We’ll show that Bali isn’t just a paradise for honeymooners and wellness seekers — it’s a wonderland for curious, playful children. No kids’ clubs, no gimmicks — just real, shared family experiences.

Day 1 – Arrival & Unwind in Cemagi

After landing at Ngurah Rai International Airport, it's less than an hour's drive to The Bali Manor Collection. Kids can jump straight into the pool while parents settle in. Ask in advance if grocery shopping can be arranged so the villa is stocked with fresh breakfast items and snacks.

Day 2 – Beach & Horse Riding in Pererenan

Just a short drive away is Pererenan Beach — quiet and spacious, ideal for families. Combine this with a pony ride at Bali Equestrian Centre, where young kids can safely meet and ride gentle horses.

Day 3 – Monkey Forest Adventure (Ubud)

The Sacred Monkey Forest is thrilling but safe. Pair it with a visit to Ubud’s colorful market, where kids can pick out wooden toys or handmade batik scarves.

Day 4 – Water Fun in Canggu

Splash Water Park is a hit with waterslides, shallow pools, and shaded lounge areas for parents. Finish with dinner at Milk & Madu — family-friendly and delicious.

Day 5 – Dolphin Watching in Lovina

An early drive to the north coast rewards you with a magical sunrise dolphin tour. Combine it with a visit to the Banjar Hot Springs for a warm soak surrounded by jungle.

Day 6 – Creative Day in Ubud: Batik & Woodcarving

Book a family-friendly workshop to learn batik or traditional woodcarving. It’s fun, hands-on, and makes for a meaningful souvenir.

Day 7 – Sea Turtles & Surf Lessons

Visit a local turtle sanctuary where kids can help release baby turtles. Then, enjoy a fun surf lesson on Seminyak Beach with certified instructors and kid-sized boards.

Day 8 – Waterfalls & Coffee in Munduk

Explore Munduk’s cool mountain air, with short waterfall hikes and stops at spice and coffee plantations. A refreshing break from the heat.

Day 9 – Free Day at the Villa

Time to relax. Swim, stream a movie on Netflix, or explore the peaceful Cemagi surroundings. Ask us to help book a driver if you want to head out for a spontaneous lunch in Canggu.

Day 10 – Sunset Picnic & Farewell

End with a picnic or beachfront dinner at Seseh. Capture the moment with a family photo shoot to remember your time together.
