Located conveniently at the beachside of South Kuta, Bali Dynasty Resort is dedicated to catering for families with its thoughtful facilities and chilled atmosphere. The resort prides itself for its true blue Balinese hospitality and warm environment, that makes holidaying families feel at ease.
And while you will feel at ease staying here, your kids are sure to be exhilarated with the fun kids’ pools available. We bet nothing can get your children more excited than their kids’ pools – complete with a Kids Water Fun Zone and a 56-metre waterslide!
While you enjoy some carefree “me” time at the separate adults-only Lazy Pool (sounds too good to be true!), babysitting services are available to make sure the children aren’t left unattended. Otherwise, feel free to have fun with the kids at the large family pool!

While they’re occupied, the adults can make their way to the 5 bars available. We recommend you to check out Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub. Or the Beach Club if you’re up for some chill time. If you really want some ‘adults-only’ me time, you could also head up to Upper Deck@H20 – perfect for catching a peaceful sunset with your love, and having a yummy drink too! For relaxation, simply head down to Ashoka Spa.
