The tropical island of Bali is one of the most sought after travel destinations in the world. The combination of Bali’s rich heritage, history, and culture draws many visitors from around the world to experience the island of the Gods. From solo travelers, honeymoon couples to family retreats, Bali has something to offer for everyone.

With so many popular locations to visit in Bali, it can be daunting to choose which one to list in your trip itinerary. In this article, we’ll be highlighting ten compelling reasons why you should consider Umalas as the next destination during your family trip to Bali.

Located just north of Kuta Beach and on the border between Seminyak and Canggu is Batu Belig Beach. This beach is a favorite destination amongst surfers both local and foreign due to its excellent swells and vibrant community.

For those wanting to catch the magical sunset of Bali with their family should consider listing Petitenget Beach on their itinerary. Petitenget Beach is located along the center of the Seminyak coastline, allowing visitors to have a scenic view from the Jimbaran Peninsula to the northern coastal areas of Canggu. Once the sun sets, you can take the family and kids for a meal in one of the many excellent beachside cafes and restaurants.

Batu Bolong Beach is located just north of Batu Belig Beach and is slightly quieter than the latter. This beach is perfect for those wanting to spend quality time with their family and kids. Also, the sunset is just as amazing as any beach on the western coast of Bali with the added perk of being less crowded compared to somewhere like Kuta Beach.
