Dining among lush tropical gardens enveloped by the sunset’s orange glow, thrilling water-based activities across glimmering oceans, and experiential journeys through the land’s traditions still strongly held by locals. These are just a few things that make Bali a distinctive holiday destination. At InterContinental Bali Resort, these cultural immersions and island recreations provide for more than a romantic honeymoon or trips that made it out of the friend group chat; it’s also the building blocks of a getaway designed for every member of the family.
Cheery sunlit days are spent together outside, whether it’s an hour-long cycling tour through the tree-flanked property or one of the many all-ages classes, including surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and sea kayaking, among others, offered by Rip Curl Surf School. For those partial to quieter times, a traditional Balinese purification ritual welcomes adults yearning for an energy cleanse and spiritual renewal, while younger guests tap into the island’s cultural energy through a jollier kite-making whimsy. If parents are looking for a romantic lunch or dinner, the poolside restaurant at Jimbaran Gardens, serving Jimbaran seafood and international fare, offers a wonderful setting. Meanwhile, they can rely on Planet Trekkers Children’s Club to keep the little ones happily entertained.
As evening approaches, the call to gather around the dinner table comes from all seven of its dining destinations, including longtime fixtures like the theatrical teppanyaki KO Restaurant and ever-charming Italian parlour Bella Cucina, to its latest addition, Indian gourmet house The Chowk at Taman Gita. The best thing to do after all that is to step into one of the 425 rooms, suites, or private villas. The colonial-style interiors are given a Balinese touch with vibrant patterns, intricate carvings, and mesmerising artwork that immediately foster a sense of calm, promising a restful night before another adventurous day.
Highlights:
- Activities span kids- and adults-only experiences to those designed for the whole family.
- The Planet Trekkers Children’s Club, where playtime takes on a creative and explorative form.
- Seven dining destinations catering to different taste buds, from Jimbaran seafood to Japanese teppanyaki.
