Happy Kids, Happy Hour: Our 7 Favorite Family-Friendly Beach Clubs in Bali

The Ultimate Bali Family Dilemma (and How to Solve It)

Let’s be honest. Traveling with kids is amazing, but finding that perfect spot where they can burn off all their energy while you actually get to relax with a cocktail in hand can feel like searching for a unicorn. You want a place that’s fun and safe for them, but you also didn’t fly all the way to Bali to just sit by a hotel pool again. You want a vibe, you want good food, you want a gorgeous view.

This is where the magic of a great family-friendly beach club comes in. Forget the thumping all-day raves; these are the places that have cracked the code. They’ve figured out how to keep the little ones entertained while letting the adults soak up that blissful Bali atmosphere. As locals who have explored them all with our own families, these are our top seven picks where everyone in the family wins.

 

1. Sundays Beach Club (Uluwatu): For the Adventurous Family

Sundays is more than just a beach club; it’s a whole day’s adventure. The experience starts with a ride down a cliff-side elevator (or inclinator), which is a thrill for all ages and offers up some seriously stunning views on the way down. You arrive at a beautiful, secluded stretch of white sand and a crystal-clear blue lagoon that’s perfect for swimming.

• Why the kids will love it: The calm water is ideal for splashing around. Plus, they can grab complimentary kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to explore the lagoon. The real highlight comes as the sun starts to set—the staff light up beach bonfires, and everyone gets to toast marshmallows. It’s simple, classic fun.
• Why you’ll love it: It feels like a genuine escape. You can lounge on a comfy daybed, swim in the unbelievably clear water, and just completely switch off. The vibe is pure relaxation.
• Insider Tip: It’s popular and has limited space, so booking a VIP Day Bed in advance is a smart move. The fee is on the higher side, but most of it is redeemable for food and drinks, making it worth it for a full day of fun.

 

2. Karma Beach Club (Ungasan): For Ultimate Beach Bliss

Similar to Sundays, Karma offers that special experience of being tucked away at the bottom of Bali’s dramatic cliffs. The journey begins with a scenic cable car ride down to a private beach with soft white sand and a calm, clear lagoon perfect for little swimmers.

• Why the kids will love it: The cable car ride is an exciting start, and the beach is a perfect playground. They can splash in the gentle waves while you watch from a cozy wooden seat.
• Why you’ll love it: Karma has perfected the art of parental relaxation. They offer beachfront massages, meaning you can get a proper Balinese treatment while keeping an eye on the kids as they play in the sand. It’s absolute genius. The Mediterranean seafood is also fantastic.
• Insider Tip: This is another spot where booking ahead is wise, especially if you want one of the prime beachfront daybeds.

 

3. Mrs. Sippy (Seminyak): For the Energetic Splashers

If your kids have endless energy, Mrs. Sippy is your answer. This place is home to a massive saltwater pool, but its real claim to fame is the triple-tier diving board. Kids (and brave adults!) can spend hours jumping, flipping, and splashing into the cool water.

• Why the kids will love it: The diving board is the main event, offering endless entertainment. When they’re hungry, the menu is full of easy wins like delicious wood-fired pizzas.
• Why you’ll love it: The vibe is super chill, with palm trees and cozy daybeds perfect for lounging. While the kids are busy with the pool, you can take full advantage of the happy hour deals and enjoy a well-deserved cocktail.
• Insider Tip: It can get busy, so arrive earlier in the day to claim a good spot. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-focused during the day before a slightly more party-oriented crowd arrives in the late afternoon.

 

4. Potato Head (Seminyak): For the Creative Crew

Potato Head is so much more than a beach club; it’s a "creative village" by the sea. Its iconic curved building made from recycled shutters is instantly recognizable, and the whole place has a cool, artistic vibe with a focus on sustainability.

• Why the kids will love it: There’s a huge, flat lawn that’s perfect for running around, plus a beachfront pool for splashing. They also have "Sweet Potato Kids," a dedicated kids' program with activities like sustainable workshops and crafts.
• Why you’ll love it: It’s effortlessly cool. You can lounge by the infinity pool, sip on amazing cocktails, and enjoy the great music without it feeling like an overwhelming party scene.
• Insider Tip: General entry is free, but daybeds have a minimum spend and get snapped up fast. If you want a bed, either book ahead or arrive right when they open at 9 AM.

 

5. La Brisa (Canggu): For the Bohemian Dreamers

Walking into La Brisa feels like stepping into a bohemian, pirate-ship fantasy. The entire place is built from the reclaimed wood of over 500 old fishing boats, giving it a magical, rustic charm. With lagoon-like pools, swaying palm trees, and beanbags scattered on the sand, it’s one of the most unique spots on the island.

Why the kids will love it: The whole place feels like a giant, enchanting treehouse. They’ll love exploring the different levels, bridges, and the cool, shallow pools.

Why you’ll love it: It’s arguably one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Bali for sunset. The cocktails are excellent, and the atmosphere is pure magic. Every Sunday, they also host the LYD Market, with local artisans and organic produce.

Insider Tip: To get one of the coveted beanbag spots on the sand for sunset, you need to arrive well before golden hour.

 

6. Mano Beach House (Seminyak): For Chilled-Out Chic

If you’re looking for a place that’s stylish but still welcoming for families, Mano Beach House is it. With its beautiful boho-chic decor and a lovely oceanfront lawn, it has a much more relaxed and calm atmosphere than many of the bigger party spots.

Why the kids will love it: There’s space to run around on the lawn, and the pool is perfect for a dip. It’s a great option for families who want to avoid huge crowds and a super loud environment.

Why you’ll love it: It’s effortlessly cool and has free entry. You can enjoy the stunning sunset with a drink in hand without feeling like you’re in the middle of a party. It’s the perfect blend of style and comfort, ideal for couples and families alike.

Insider Tip: Because it’s a bit smaller and more intimate, it feels like a real hidden gem. It’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon that feels both special and low-key.

 

7. Le Bajo (Canggu): For a Unique & Peaceful Escape

Tucked away from the main hustle and surrounded by lush greenery and rice paddies, Le Bajo offers a more peaceful beach club experience. It’s stylish and cozy, but the real star for families is the pool.

Why the kids will love it: The 20-meter pool is shaped like a Komodo dragon! It’s a fun, quirky feature that kids absolutely adore and makes for some great holiday photos.

Why you’ll love it: The setting is serene and offers a genuine escape. While there can be a minimum spend for some of the prime daybeds, there is plenty of other seating available where you can relax without it, making it a flexible and affordable option.

Insider Tip: Because of its unique pool, it’s a hit with both kids and adults. It’s a great choice if you’re staying in Canggu but want to avoid the more intense party scenes at the bigger beach clubs.

 

The Grazie Bali Touch: The Perfect Start to a Perfect Family Day

A great family day out deserves a special start. Before you even pack the sunscreen and head to the beach club, imagine the looks on your kids’ faces when a beautiful, artfully arranged floating breakfast arrives at your villa pool. It’s a little moment of magic that sets the tone for the whole day. It’s fun, it’s delicious, and it lets you start your day with a sense of joy and gratitude, completely hassle-free.

 

Your Happy Place Awaits

A family trip to Bali doesn’t have to be a compromise. You can have the stylish, relaxing, and delicious holiday you’ve been dreaming of, while also giving your kids the fun-filled adventure they’ll talk about for years. These beach clubs have truly thought of everything, creating happy places where every member of the family can find their bliss.
