Many families dream of living in a place that offers a wholesome and enriching environment for their children to grow and thrive. Bali, with its stunning landscapes and unique cultural heritage, has become an increasingly popular choice for families seeking a new home. But is Bali a good for families to live? Let's explore the reasons why living in Bali can be a wonderful experience for families.
We ourselves made the move to Bali as a family of 6 in December 2023. We had previously visited the island many times in years prior and completely fell in love with the lifestyle. That was when we decided that we could live here as a family (we just need to figure out the logistics - spoiler alert! We did!).
It made sense for our family to make the move when we did, and maybe after reading some of the reasons below it might make sense for your family to give it a go!?
Natural Beauty
Bali is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. From pristine beaches to lush jungles, the island offers a constant connection to nature. Living in Bali means that families have the opportunity to explore and enjoy these stunning landscapes, creating lasting memories and fostering a love for the environment. The beach is our go to, it is beautiful and the most perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon as a family.
Outdoor Activities
For families who love adventure and outdoor activities, Bali is a paradise. The island offers a wide range of activities such as surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and cycling, catering to the whole family. Whether it's catching waves, exploring underwater ecosystems, or trekking through scenic trails, Bali provides endless opportunities for families to stay active and enjoy quality time together. I mean you can even call butterfly spotting at Kemenuh Butterfly Park an outdoor activity.
Welcoming Community
One of the most remarkable aspects of Bali is its welcoming community. The Balinese people are known for their warmth, friendliness, and strong sense of community. Families will find it easy to integrate into the local culture and forge lifelong friendships. The supportive environment makes it easier for families to settle down and create a sense of belonging.
Quality Education
Education is a top priority for families, and Bali offers a diverse range of international schools that provide a multicultural environment and follow internationally recognized curricula. These schools ensure that children receive a quality education while also promoting cultural understanding and global perspectives. Parents can have peace of mind knowing that their children are receiving a well-rounded education. We personally have chosen to go the homeschool route inline with the Queensland Australia curriculum. You can find out more about our homeschool journey here.
Cultural Immersion
Living in Bali allows families to immerse themselves in a unique blend of Balinese and international cultures. The island's vibrant cultural heritage and traditions provide families with an opportunity to learn and grow, fostering an appreciation for diversity and cultural exchange. Children will have the chance to develop a global mindset and embrace different perspectives. See some of our visit to Butaun Temple here or the amazing Kecak Dance here at the GWK Cultural Park.
Access to Healthcare
Bali has made significant advancements in healthcare infrastructure, with a growing number of international-standard hospitals and medical facilities. Families can have peace of mind knowing that quality healthcare services are readily available on the island. The presence of reliable healthcare facilities ensures that families can prioritize their well-being and receive the care they need.
Sense of Community
Bali's strong sense of community is a significant benefit for families. The island's close-knit communities provide a supportive environment where families can find belonging and establish a solid support network. Whether it's participating in local events or joining community initiatives, families will feel connected and supported in their new home.
Adventure Opportunities
Bali offers endless opportunities for families to embark on exciting adventures. Exploring hidden waterfalls, discovering ancient temples, or simply enjoying a day at the beach are just a few of the countless experiences waiting to be discovered. Living in Bali means that families can create lasting memories and embrace a lifestyle filled with adventure and exploration. Our time exploring Padang Galak and flying kites with the locals was extraordinary!
Vibrant Culture
Bali's rich cultural heritage is a treasure that families can experience firsthand. From traditional ceremonies to colorful festivals, the island offers a vibrant cultural tapestry that is both captivating and educational. Living in Bali provides families with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in this rich cultural heritage, fostering an appreciation for diversity and encouraging children to embrace different cultures.

One of the key advantages of living in Bali is the balanced lifestyle it offers. Families can enjoy a fulfilling life that combines outdoor activities with moments of relaxation in a serene environment.
