7-day itinerary
7-Day Bali Family Adventure
Ubud, Seminyak & beyond
Bali is a magical island where ancient temples, emerald rice terraces, and world-class beaches create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable family adventure. From Ubud's artistic heart to Seminyak's golden shores, this 7-day itinerary blends cultural discovery with kid-friendly thrills at every turn.
Morning: Land at Ngurah Rai Airport and transfer to your family villa or hotel in Seminyak, where a private pool and lush garden let kids decompress after the long flight.
Afternoon: Stroll Seminyak Beach together, letting the kids dip their toes in the warm Indian Ocean while you book a surf lesson at Rip Curl School of Surf for tomorrow.
Evening: Enjoy a casual beachfront dinner at La Plancha, where colourful bean bags dot the sand and the menu offers kid-friendly grilled fish and nasi goreng.
Morning: Take a 90-minute family surf lesson on the gentle Seminyak shore break — instructors here are brilliant with children as young as five and provide foam boards and rash vests.
Afternoon: Wander Jalan Kayu Aya (Eat Street) for a leisurely lunch, then browse the colourful boutiques for batik sarongs and handmade toys the kids can pick out themselves.
Evening: Head to Potato Head Beach Club for sundowners and a family barbecue dinner; kids love the infinity pool area and the live acoustic music sets the perfect holiday mood.
Morning: Drive 20 minutes north to Canggu and rent bicycles at The Lawn to pedal through vivid green rice paddies and wave at local farmers tending their fields.
Afternoon: Visit the spectacular sea temple of Tanah Lot perched on a black volcanic rock — kids can explore the shrine, spot sea snakes in the tidal pools, and try fresh coconut water from roadside stalls.
Evening: Dine at Warung Dandelion in Canggu for authentic Balinese bebek betutu slow-roasted duck and homemade lemonade, tucked inside a beautifully lit open-air garden.
Morning: Transfer two hours north to Ubud through winding jungle roads, checking into a family-friendly resort like Komaneka or COMO Uma Ubud with a rice terrace view.
Afternoon: Spend two hours at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, where 700 grey macaques roam freely among moss-covered temples — keep snacks hidden in zipped bags to avoid cheeky theft.
Evening: Catch the electrifying Kecak and Fire Dance performance at Ubud Palace, a 45-minute show of chanting, flames, and elaborate costumes that older kids find absolutely spellbinding.
Morning: Rise early for the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terraces, hike the narrow paths between emerald paddies, and let older kids try the famous jungle swing for a jaw-dropping photo with the valley below.
Afternoon: Drive through the silver-smithing village of Celuk and the woodcarving village of Mas, where artisans let children try hammering silver or painting small wooden masks as a hands-on souvenir.
Evening: Take a Balinese cooking class at Paon Bali in the Campuhan Valley — families chop, grind spices, and cook a four-course feast together before eating their own creations under the stars.
Morning: Take an early 30-minute fast boat from Sanur Beach to Nusa Lembongan, strap on snorkel gear at Crystal Bay, and drift above vivid coral reefs teeming with clownfish and sea turtles.
Afternoon: Rent bicycles and pedal across the narrow suspension bridge to Nusa Ceningan, stopping at a clifftop café for fish tacos and fresh fruit smoothies overlooking the turquoise lagoon below.
Evening: Return to Seminyak by speedboat in time for a relaxed farewell barbecue dinner at your villa, giving the kids time to pack their seashell collections and handmade souvenirs.
Morning: Drive south to the Uluwatu Peninsula for a sunrise yoga session or relaxed breakfast at Single Fin overlooking the famous surf break, then explore the clifftop Uluwatu Temple complex.
Afternoon: Descend to Padang Padang Beach, one of Bali's most beautiful coves reached by stone steps through a rocky cleft, for a final swim and sand play before heading back toward the airport.
Evening: Depart Ngurah Rai Airport with suitcases full of batik, Balinese silver, and memories of temple fires, monkey mischief, and glittering turquoise seas that will last the whole family a lifetime.
