| THIS ARTICLE WAS CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Club Med Bali |
Some say family is the most important thing in the world. How about you take that all-important family unit to an all-inclusive resort in Bali?
Multi-generational travel is booming, encouraging families to enjoy quality time exploring new places together. But where’s the perfect place to satisfy everyone’s holiday bucket list? There’s one destination that continuously ticks all the boxes for a multi-gen getaway: Bali. Here, you’ll find a haven for those seeking adventure and daytime activities, swimming in turquoise waters, getting close to wildlife and exploring the local culture. Even better, Bali offers the best opportunities for all family members to enjoy the holiday of their dreams – especially if that trip includes a stay at Club Med Bali.
Located in Nusa Dua, Club Med Bali is an all-inclusive beach resort that turns family holidays into a personalised experience for each guest. From their extensive list of outdoor activities and excursions to relaxing spa-filled days and exquisite cuisine, the entire family is bound to appreciate this unique Bali holiday.
Where to stay in Bali
Whether you’re coming to Bali with just parents and children or the entire extended family, Club Med Bali offers a range of rooms and suites to cater to everyone. For travellers who have a harder time getting around, the resort offers accessible accommodation. These particular rooms are suitable for two family members and are located on the ground floor, closest to the shared facilities.
Of course, we can’t forget the all-important interconnecting rooms. These are suitable for families of six who want to make the most of their multi-gen holiday while still prioritising their privacy.
What to do in Bali
1. Adrenaline-inducing activities
Anyone with a big family knows that not everyone will want to do the same things. Club Med Bali offers activities for all tastes, from yoga classes for the fitness-oriented to flying trapeze group lessons for thrill-seekers (treat this as an extreme form of trust-fall to keep the family bonds strong!).
2. Sightseeing without the kids
Bali is a hub for discovery. From intricately carved temples to jaw-dropping landscapes, there’s so much to do in so little time. Parents can take advantage of Club Med’s childcare facilities if the kids don’t agree to so much sightseeing.
The resort offers a range of Kids Clubs for children from six months* to 17 years, meaning parents are free to explore the province on their own terms – or go on one of the resort’s numerous expeditions – knowing their kids are safe and having the time of their lives.
3. Learning new skills
Your family members can make wonderful memories learning new skills together. From windsurfing, golf, archery and kayaking, it’s easy to find something everyone will enjoy.
Paddle, a mix of tennis, squash and pelota, is great for the entire family. Club Med’s friendly Gentle Organisers (G.Os) are constantly seeking people to try out this underrated activity and offer quick guides on how to take your skills to the next level. These matches are bound to get intense and exciting.
4. Having good old family time
Multi-gen holidays are about bringing families closer together. Club Med Bali makes it easy for anyone looking to add to that with their ‘Amazing Family’ program, which allows grandparents and parents to create unforgettable memories with the youngest family members.
Not only that, but the entire program is itinerary-based, which means all the activities are chosen beforehand to create a weekly agenda filled with new experiences and fun opportunities, from family yoga and treasure hunts to arts and crafts and even a foam party.
