Family trips to
Bali
private and tailor-made
Family holidays are those moments when everything becomes simple again. You laugh at little things, you eat together without rushing, you walk without watching the time, and you catch yourself thinking: “This is good.”
And when that break happens in Bali, in another culture, with different colours, different rituals, different ways of living, it becomes even more powerful: you share an experience, not just a stay.
The idea is not to “pull off the perfect holiday” like a mission. The idea is to enjoy a holiday that is smooth, light, and truly enriching—the kind where you do not need to organise everything for it to go well. Because the real luxury as a family is this: enjoying, without turning yourself into a planner.
With Amanaska Bali, you set off on a family tour in Bali designed for you: a private, tailor-made itinerary, suitable activities, simple logistics, and above all… one feeling: you have nothing to carry.
What makes a family trip truly precious in BALI
sharing, quite simply
We sometimes think that the best memories come from the “big activities”. In reality, as a family, it is often the simplest moments that leave a mark:
- a sunny breakfast,
- an impromptu swim,
- a drive where you sing in the car,
- a sunset when everyone falls silent for two minutes,
- a fit of laughter in an alleyway in Ubud,
- a culinary discovery—"OK, that is a bit spicy"…
Bali is perfect for that: it is an island best enjoyed outdoors, and it makes you want to reconnect with simple things.
And that is exactly what many families come for: being together, in a setting that makes it easy.
Bali as a Family
A DIFFERENT WAY TO TRAVEL,
GENTLER,
MORE VIBRANT.
Discovering Bali or Indonesia as a family also means opening a window onto something else:
- a welcoming culture,
- traditions visible in everyday life,
- a strong connection to nature,
- a different, more flexible pace.
Without any big speeches, your children naturally understand that there are a thousand ways to live.
And that is an immense richness—no lesson, no pressure, simply because it is there, right before their eyes.
You expect this trip to bring something each day: a discovery, an emotion, a shared moment.
And you are right: that is what makes a beautiful family trip.
The little trap of family trips
IT IS NOT BALI…
IT IS THE ORGANISATION
Bali is a very accessible destination, but organising it can quickly become a puzzle:
- finding the right areas based on the children’s ages,
- avoiding journeys that are too long,
- choosing activities everyone will enjoy,
- managing bookings,
- understanding what is worth it (and what is just "very touristy").
And when you are a parent, you know it: it is not the desire that is lacking, it is the time.
You want it to be simple. You want it to be smooth. You want everything to run seamlessly.
That is precisely where our Esprit de Famille programme makes the difference.
"Esprit de Famille"
your family tour in Bali, private and tailor-made
Your private, tailor-made “Esprit de Famille” programme takes everyone’s wishes into account, even the youngest.
It is designed to bring the whole family together around:
- togetherness,
- discovery,
- activities to share together,
- and a pleasant pace.
Each day is designed so you can focus on what matters most: your children, your family, your joy of being together.
It is a family breather where we take care of everything so you can experience only the very best.
PREPARE NOTHING:
The true luxury in Bali
TRULY ENJOY IT
You do not need to spend your evenings searching for “the best family-friendly restaurant”, recalculating driving times, or checking whether “it is worth it”.
Imagine:
- you arrive, everything is ready,
- your transfers are organised,
- your accommodation is chosen to be practical and comfortable,
- your activities are booked at the right time,
- and you always have a simple solution if you want to change the programme.
We organise your entire trip:
- hotel bookings,
- activities,
- drivers and transfers,
- and we provide you with our address book.
You save time before departure, and you save energy on site.
Stays that look like your family, not a catalogue
A successful Bali tour as a family is a programme that reflects you:
- not too packed,
- not too empty,
- with quiet times,
- high points,
- and simple moments.
Some families like to keep moving; others prefer to alternate.
Some want more nature; others more sea.
Some want a touch of authenticity; others above all comfort.
Our role is to put all of that together intelligently, so that it is harmonious.
Experiences that create memories
WITHOUT EXHAUSTING EVERYONE
Bali makes it possible to enjoy many family-friendly experiences:
- rice fields and easy walks,
- temples and traditions explained simply,
- cuisine, crafts, local encounters,
- beaches and swimming,
- little "wow" adventures that stay with you.
We are not trying to do everything. We are trying to live the right moments, at the right pace. And that changes everything.
MORE THAN A TRIP shared memories
A family trip is a story you write together.
Little phrases that come back. In-jokes. Photos. Moments you will talk about for a long time.
And when the trip is well organised, something precious happens: you are truly there.
Present. Available. Relaxed.
That is exactly the Amanaska spirit.

FAMILY TRIP TO BALI FAQ
6 questions we are
asked all the time
Is Bali a child-friendly destination (and for what ages)?
Yes, Bali is one of Asia’s most family-friendly destinations: a warm welcome, easy activities, suitable accommodation, and plenty to do outdoors. Above all, we adapt the pace and the areas to the children’s ages: baby/toddler, children, teenagers… Each set-up has its best options.
When is the best time to go to Bali as a family?
You can travel year-round, but comfort depends on what you are looking for: weather, heat, sea conditions, crowds. As a family, we often favour periods when the weather is more stable and journeys are more pleasant. Amanaska will advise you based on your dates, your priorities (beach, nature, activities) and your children’s ages.
Feel free to read our article ‘When to go to Bali? Finding the best time for your trip ’ to learn more.
How many days should you plan for a family tour in Bali?
To enjoy without rushing, the ideal is often at least 12 to 15 days. Below that, you can still have a wonderful stay, but you need to limit the number of stops. With more than 15 days, you can add an island or a wilder area, while keeping a comfortable pace that gives you time for authentic encounters.
Can you take a family tour in Indonesia (beyond Bali)?
Yes, and it is both an unforgettable experience and a true immersion; it will depend above all on the length of your stay. Depending on the season and the children’s ages, you can add calmer or more nature-focused islands, with well-planned journeys, such as Flores, Sumatra, Lombok or the Gili Islands. The idea is not to multiply transfers, but to choose 1 or 2 coherent extensions that truly add value.
How can you avoid long journeys and fatigue during the trip?
The secret is not to “do everything”; it is to go to Bali for an exceptional stay by choosing the right areas and building a logical itinerary: few hotel changes, well-placed stops, flexible days, and activities suited to everyone. Amanaska optimises distances and schedules, and plans breathing space.
What is included when Amanaska organises a family trip to Bali?
For a family trip to Bali, we organise a tailor-made itinerary, accommodation bookings, transfers, a guide and a private driver, a selection of child-friendly activities, and an address book (restaurants, ideas, practical tips). The goal is simple: to make life easier before and during the trip, so you can experience only the very best as a family.

An unforgettable stay thanks to Amanaska.
Melisande is very attentive and always available to chat and answer our questions, whether before or during our stay.
Stéphane, another member of the agency, was also very friendly.
Thank you once again for the high standard of your services.
Amanaska organised a three-week family holiday in Bali for us, which will remain etched in our memories forever.
What did we love? EVERYTHING! From the quality of our discussions with David, the agency’s founder, as we planned our bespoke tour of the island – avoiding the overly touristy traps – to the selection of charming hotels blending tradition and modernity, right through to our guide and driver, who were always so attentive and knew the route inside out.
We particularly enjoyed the opportunities to meet Balinese families and discover their way of life, arts and traditions in an intimate and personalised way (cooking classes, dance lessons in a magical school, making our own kites, visiting a village with its nursery school, and so on).
And what can we say about the kindness and hospitality of the Balinese people? That first glimpse made us want to come back.
We had an amazing three-week road trip in Bali, organised by Amanaska.
Dès le départ, l’équipe a été aux petits soins : Melisandre, notre organisatrice, a su créer un itinéraire sur mesure pour notre famille (avec deux enfants de 6 et 9 ans), nous permettant de découvrir un Bali authentique, loin des sentiers battus tout en étant à l’écoute de nos envies et besoins.[...]
A huge thank you to the whole Amanaska team for this unique experience and the thoughtful touches they provided. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking to discover Bali in a different way, with authenticity and warmth.
A wonderful trip. Discovering Bali was an unforgettable family experience... Melisande and her team at Amanaska made it easy for us to learn about the local customs and traditions. They listened to our wishes and stuck to our budget.
We can’t recommend them highly enough.
Thank you again!!!
I wanted to visit the real Bali, not the one overrun by mass tourism, and the agency understood this straight away. We discovered a wonderful culture and met some very kind and welcoming people. The trip alternated between sightseeing and sporting challenges for my older teenagers (aged 16 to 20). We watched the sunrise over the volcano and went on a bike ride through the rice fields. We even helped the locals replant rice. Our French-speaking guide was absolutely brilliant. The driver was very kind and incredibly skilful in this world of lawless roads…
It’s the best trip we’ve ever been on.
Thank you to the whole Amanaska team
We spent 15 days in Bali in June, exploring and unwinding. Mélisande put together an unforgettable trip for our wedding anniversary. Every time we arrived at a new hotel, we were delighted to find a bed decorated with flowers. Gustut and Nura were our guide and driver, and they looked after us so well.
This is the second time I’ve been to Bali and had my trip organised by you.
I’ll be back a third time with great pleasure.
Thank you
Léa and Pierre
We worked with Melisande from the AMANASKA agency to put together an 18-day holiday in Bali. Melisande was very professional, responsive and proactive in helping us plan our itinerary exactly as we wanted it.
We had requested a French-speaking guide and were able to explore Bali at our own pace, with a top-notch driver to boot. Furthermore, from speaking with them, it’s clear that AMANASKA offers working conditions that aren’t available everywhere.
Don’t hesitate to book with this agency; you’re sure to make some wonderful discoveries in Bali.
The tour was well organised, and the sequence of visits followed a clear plan, which saved time and helped to ease traffic congestion.
Well done to the whole team for their professionalism.
A courteous guide and an impeccable driver.
Best regards to all.

A big thank you to Melisande for organising this exceptional trip. Thank you for choosing the activities and hotels... Everything is taken care of; once you’re there, all you have to do is enjoy yourself. Melisande is always available, whether before, during or after the trip, so thank you. And thank you also to our driver and guide, who were incredibly kind.
Our heads are full of memories and we have just one desire... to go back!
Estelle and Nadège
A big thank you to the Amanaska team for organising our three-week trip to Bali. Right from our first discussions, David put together an itinerary that perfectly matched our expectations: exploring the local culture and traditional sites whilst avoiding the crowds, a variety of activities to discover the island’s beauty, a pace suited to our family (children aged 11 and 15) and always an excellent choice of hotels. Thanks also to our guide and driver, who played a part in making this trip such a success. We simply went with the flow for three weeks and were able to enjoy our stay to the full.
David organised an absolutely perfect, tailor-made trip for us. We managed to avoid the crowds, which is a real feat in August. We discovered authentic places and people without missing out on the must-see attractions. David put together a trip that struck the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration.
A word of advice: let him take the lead, let him surprise you – he knows Bali like no one else. A special mention for the hotels: all different, magnificent, unexpected… we really switched off like never before!
See you soon for another trip to Bali, which I’m sure will be completely different!
We had a wonderful time in Bali with your agency.
A big thank you to Melisande, who took over our booking after Cyrielle had set it up; she was always cheerful, responsive and efficient, even when she was ill... Well done.
A big thank you also to our driver Ajik and guide Tut Nick.
It was almost a month of enjoyable moments, visits, breaks, etc., at a pace that suited us perfectly, and it was a trip that lived up to our expectations and desires.
I would just like to mention one small drawback: it would have been handy to have a personalised travel guide providing a comprehensive overview of the itinerary, activities, hotels (including the number of rooms) – in short, covering the whole month. Given our programme, I found this to be missing. I’m used to having this on similar road trips in other countries.
Thank you to the whole team!!!
