FUN FAMILY VILLAS IN BALI THAT ARE PARADISE FOR YOUR KIDS

BY ANTONIA FRANSISKA · DECEMBER 10, 2014

Travelling with the kids? Want to keep them well-entertained while you relax in the comforts of your villa?

Here’s why you should book a villa instead of a hotel for your family holiday -

Access to your own private facilities, and knowing that the little ones can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus.

And no more chasing after hyperactive kids and tiring yourself out so much that you can’t enjoy your break.

Each of these villas have something special for the kids, that they will fall in love and be the sweetest little angels to Mom and Dad.

A telescope for the boys: Villa Adenium Perched on the hillside above Jimbaran bay, Villa Adenium is the perfect place for a quiet retreat.

This stylish and contemporary four-bedroom villa is designed for relaxed, comfortable living, offering breathtaking views over Bali’s Bukit Peninsula – famed for its crystal blue waters, white sandy beaches, world-class surf, fresh seafood and stunning sunsets.

You will be spoilt for choice for entertainment – as will the kids.

Located on the ground floor of the villa is an air-conditioned play room where children will be entertained for hours on colourful beanbags in front of the flat-screen TV, with DVD player and Xbox.

When the novelty wears off (or when Mum and Dad decide to pull the plug on technology), there’s a trunk full of good old-fashioned games, Lego and pool toys to meddle around with.

Meanwhile, the games room is for the entire family, with table tennis, billiard, a gym and a cinema lounge.

The closing deal?

A fully functioning telescope on the balcony upstairs is a lovely touch that will surely delight curious young ones and eager stargazers alike.

For Her Royal Highnesses: Villa Mako So much love has gone into the colonial design of the villa, that you can feel it the moment you step in.

From its recycled teakwood floors, time-honoured stained glass doors and louvered shutters, to its spectacular high wooden ceilings, Villa Mako captures the nostalgic architectural heritage of the Dutch colonial era.

Here, you don’t need to worry about the safety of your little ones -there’s even a gated fence that separates the building from the pool.

They can get their fill of toys, Playstation 2, and a library of children’s books and DVDs.

You’ll also get four bicycles – two for adults and two for kids.

Villa Mako is also a member of the Canggu Club, so you’re welcome to use the club’s sports, leisure and restaurant facilities.

The Bali Room and Colonial Room enjoy lovely views and sunny balconies, complemented by soft furnishings and colours, such as the green-and-saffron-edged ikat bed curtain.

King-sized four-posters, recycled teakwood floors, French windows with stained glass and colonial shutters, antique furniture, gold-framed mirrors, and soft lighting combine to create a romantic ambiance.

If your little girls love to imagine themselves in Disney movies, it’s their dream come true – they will feel like Princesses in the twin-bedded Bamboo Room.

The room even features an ensuite bathroom fashioned in cream-coloured terrazzo, with twin washbasins, rainshowers, and glass skylights.
