Bali is one of those rare destinations that manages to captivate every type of traveler—including families with children. Between its lush landscapes, welcoming culture, and gentle shorelines, the island offers a peaceful yet adventure-packed experience that kids and parents can enjoy together. But of all the family-friendly stays across the island, few places rise to the level of excellence like Masmara Resort in Canggu.
Masmara Resort: Where Family Comfort Meets Island Luxury
Nestled in the heart of Canggu, just steps away from a pristine, uncrowded beach, Masmara Resort is where family memories are made. With its open spaces, thoughtful design, and deeply personal service, the resort has quietly become one of Bali’s most beloved destinations for families traveling with kids.
While luxury and elegance are woven into every part of the experience, it’s the sense of home away from home that makes Masmara truly unforgettable. Children are not just tolerated here—they’re celebrated.
Why families return to Masmara again and again:
-
Safe and Spacious Villas: Designed with families in mind, Masmara’s villas feature open-plan living, safe terraces, and enough room for little ones to roam. For infants and toddlers, cribs and baby essentials are available upon request.
-
Beachside Convenience: The resort is located along a calm stretch of beach, far from heavy surf and crowded scenes—perfect for supervised splashing and playing in the sand.
-
Gentle Hospitality: The Masmara team is known for remembering names, allergies, and even bedtime rituals. Many parents have commented that the staff feel more like family by the time they leave.
Dining with Kids, Done Right
Traveling with young eaters can be tricky, but Masmara makes it easy. Their on-site restaurant crafts beautiful meals using fresh, local ingredients—many of which are adapted for young palates.
-
Kid-Friendly Menus: Mild, nourishing dishes made with love.
-
Flexible Meal Times: Understanding that hungry kids can’t always wait, early dining options are available.
-
Allergy-Sensitive Kitchens: Gluten-free? Dairy-free? Vegetarian? No problem.
Parents also get to indulge in chef-curated Balinese tasting menus and fresh seafood dishes, making every meal a shared celebration.
Thoughtful Touches for Stress-Free Travel
One of the most consistent themes in guest reviews is Masmara’s attention to detail. Families traveling with kids often need more than just a comfortable bed—they need foresight, compassion, and flexibility. That’s where Masmara truly shines.
Need a bottle warmer or extra towels for post-beach cleanup? It’s there before you ask. Want to arrange a babysitter so you can enjoy a quiet dinner? Already booked. Whether it’s organizing a driver with a child seat or planning a gentle day trip to Ubud’s monkey forest, the staff anticipates what parents need before they even realize it.
Why Canggu Is Perfect for Families
While Bali boasts many fantastic areas for families, Canggu offers a unique balance. It’s lively without being chaotic, peaceful without feeling isolated. You’ll find smoothie bowls and ice cream stands, playful beach swings and pony rides, and safe streets perfect for strolling. All just a short drive from Seminyak’s shops or Ubud’s cultural heart.
From Masmara Resort, families can easily enjoy half-day excursions to:
-
The Sacred Monkey Forest
-
Bali Butterfly Park
-
Splash Waterpark Bali
-
Tegalalang Rice Terraces
-
Tanah Lot Temple at sunset
These adventures pair perfectly with long, lazy afternoons back at the resort.
A Family Destination Worth Coming Back To
The beauty of staying at a truly family-friendly hotel in Bali is not just about comfort—it’s about connection. At Masmara Resort, that connection is carefully nurtured: between parents and children, between guests and staff, and between travelers and the soul of the island itself.
This isn’t just another resort with a kids’ menu and a shallow pool. It’s a carefully designed environment where families thrive—where joy feels easy, and care is constant.
Whether it’s your first visit to Bali or a long-awaited return, Masmara invites you to experience a different kind of family holiday. One where you can slow down, soak up the beauty, and simply be—together.
