Experience the real Bali magic between locals and nature.
We’re so grateful to our wonderful reader for sharing this amazing insider tip for travelling to Bali with kids! If you’re looking for a truly unique experience, we highly recommend the incredible Villas Bukit Lipah. While Bali is often thought of as a big resort island where you’re cut off from the world, we see it differently. To us, travelling on this dreamlike island is about truly immersing yourself, making connections and experiencing the island in a way that’s authentic and unforgettable. We want to feel the vibrant culture and unspoilt nature, get close to the lovely people and animals of the island and enjoy the exotic fruits that Bali so generously offers. This is exactly what Villas Bukit Lipah offers – and so much more!
The gorgeous villas are just a stone’s throw from the sea, but still tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist crowds. They’re the perfect blend of cozy, familiar charm and the enchanting magic of Bali. Here, where the lovely villagers crafted the villas from local bamboo, you’ll not only enjoy breathtaking vistas but also feel a deep connection to the Balinese way of life. The lovely folks who created this place welcome guests with a warmth that goes far beyond accommodation. They share their stories, their traditions and let us see Bali through their eyes.
The villas: a retreat with a view.
Up in the gorgeous green hills of East Bali, where time seems to flow more gently and everyday life falls silent, the Villas Bukit Lipah are waiting for you! Come and find your oasis of tranquillity and relaxation. Families can relax and unwind here, leave the noise of everyday life behind and fully embrace the pure essence of Bali – a world full of vibrant colours and gentle sounds that offers so much more than just a holiday. Each villa is lovingly built from local bamboo, blending harmoniously into nature and reflecting the traditional architecture of the island. There’s even room for a kitchenette in the spacious, light-flooded rooms of the villas! And the private infinity pool in front of each villa not only invites you to take a dip, but also lets your gaze wander over the glittering sea.
Culinary Delights
There’s nothing better than starting the day in Bali with a culinary journey of discovery, is there? The bright colors and aromas of freshly harvested fruits such as mango, papaya, and star fruit are just too tempting for breakfast! They’re lovingly served in the hotel’s own restaurant, and they’re so well prepared that even the little ones will be delighted. In the evening, you have the choice: you can either indulge in vegan or vegetarian dishes in the restaurant or cook together in the cozy atmosphere of your villa.
Yoga and Spa
What would Bali be without yoga? This spiritual tradition is an essential part of the wellness programme at Villas Bukit Lipah. You can even book private sessions in the hotel’s own yoga shala, where we make sure you feel totally at ease and your wellbeing is our number one priority. It’s a really lovely, family-friendly experience, and kids are more than welcome to join in too! There’s no pressure to be perfect here, it’s all about sharing the experience and having fun – and it’s just as good for the little ones as it is for grown-ups! You can top it all off with some relaxing massages and traditional Balinese treatments, like soothing body masks and reflexology massages, which are just the thing to pamper your body and mind.
A place to come and let go
At Villas Bukit Lipah, you’ll find your happy place! Come and relax and immerse yourself in Balinese culture. You’ll feel right at home here!
