Top Bali All-Inclusive Resorts: For Families, Adults-Only

Top Bali All-Inclusive Resorts: For Families, Adults-Only

By EdwardUpdated Jan. 3, 2023

When visiting Bali, some people prefer all-inclusive resorts, which means they prepay one price for accommodation, dining, facilities, entertainment, activities and sometimes transportation. This type of hassle-free vacation, and is especially suited to families with kids so their kids do not have to spend money. It is also good for adults who do not want to think about extra costs, and just enjoy their time at the resort.

An all-inclusive resort and tour of Bali is less expensive than a similar resort and tour in other favorite destinations in Asia such as Thailand. Part of what makes Bali affordable for all-inclusive stays in various budget ranges is that there is a wide range of hotel packages available to choose from. The top luxury all-inclusive resorts charge rates of more than 500 USD a night.

So, which are the best all-inclusive resorts for your holiday in Bali? How can you choose from so many? What is the price range?

How to Choose your Ideal All-Inclusive Resort in Bali

Bali Weather by MonthBali Weather by Month

There are two main seasons in Bali, the rainy and dry seasons. All the resorts are suitable in the dry season from May to September, but during the rainy season from November to March, those beach resorts along the southeastern coast near Nusa Dua are better than resorts along the other coasts due to pollution.

During the rainy season, you might also prefer the Ubud area since it is cooler. In Bali, the southern hemisphere summer is the rainy season, and it is also the hottest season. The rainy season is when the upland countryside and natural highlights are the most beautiful.

For more about the rainy season and where it is good to go then, see: Bali Rainy Season: When It Is and Best Places to Go

If you are mainly looking for excellent beaches and watersports, than choose the luxury resorts on the beaches. You can take trips up to see the highlights in the mountains and hills since they are only about an hour away from most of the best resorts. The beaches are the best in the dry sunny dry-season months.

Whether you want to lounge in the sun, stay at a luxury hotel, be near major attractions, eat delicious food, swim, surf, scuba, do water sports, be alone in solitude, enjoy a hike, climb a volcano, or see a waterfall, here are our recommendations for the 5 best all-inclusive resorts you can go to for these activities.

Alila is suitable for beach activities such as surfing for young couples. The waves are bigger than those at Kuta, so more experienced surfers surf there. Since it is further from the city center, it is also less crowded. A few lifeguards serve on the big beach. Since there are fewer crowds, the hotels on the beach make the beach suitable for honeymooners and seniors. Sections of the beach are privately owned by luxury hotels.

One drawback to this area of the coast is that during the rainy season, rivers in the area bring in pollution. Sometimes, there are tons of trash on the beaches and in the water, so during the rainy season, it is better to go to Nusa Dua. It is helpful to ask one of our Bali experts who can help to find the best beaches, since conditions change a lot over the year.

Gourmet restaurants are footsteps away. The luxury resorts around it feature gourmet restaurants of many styles.
