Just an hour’s drive north of the airport, and set in the green terraced hills, Ubud is Bali’s cultural heart. This is a place where traditional Balinese culture instils every waking moment, where colourful offerings embellish the streets and where the mesmerising strains of gamelan are an ever-present soundtrack to everyday life. It is also somewhere that is inexorably on-trend – a showcase of ecological design, mindfulness, culinary ingenuity and the absolute best that global tourism has to offer.
Not only well-known as a flourishing crafts centre, in Ubud you can expect to find hundreds of shops selling high-quality antiques, woodcarvings, crafts, textiles, paintings and jewellery. Seamlessly lined along the main street are dozens of art studios, an excellent local craft market and galleries. This village has become a popular and peaceful retreat from the nearby areas. With everything from sumptuous vegan eats, cleanses, to every type of yoga and healing imaginable, this is where the Western spirituality and Balinese traditions live in harmony. That being said, those coming for relaxation and/or rejuvenation with family, Ubud may very well be the most enchanted holiday of your life.
When you are travelling with little kids, choosing accommodation becomes inevitable. The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud can be an alternative. It is an upscale, lush property with authentic Balinese charm and rice paddy views, which make it one of the popular choices for family travellers. With rooms exuberating luxury and elegance, The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud is a sanctuary of peacefulness and sophistication in the culturally exciting village of Ubud. This elegant resort, with a distinct sense of belonging, caters to all the needs of parents with kids who want their vacation to roll out not less than a fairy-tale.
Here are 4 reasons why you need to bring your family to The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud.
Family Suite
Staying in a hotel with your children can be enough to frazzle any parent. Close quarters with not much to do and neighbours on the other side of the wall can be a recipe for disaster. Especially if the kids get loud and restless. Luckily, The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud has Family Suites that can cater to your family well. The suite has two bedrooms with a separate living room, which is spacious enough for your little ones running around. Outside the living room, you can have a quality time with your family in the balcony while viewing Ubud’s forest.
Kids’ Activities
This resort offers tons of options to keep your kids busy as there are numerous activities available for them to play around. Imagine your little champs enjoying their own time at their own pool! Not only a kid’s pool, your kiddos can also spend time at the kid’s clubs. Their kid’s club is a fairy-tale land created to offer the little ones a stunning, safe and friendly playground. With plenty of games are available, they could spend all their day in the kids club. Be rest assured that your kids will never get bored while staying at this resort!
Get Pampered
While your kids playing at the kid’s club, you can book a treatment at the Heavenly Spa. Worry not about your kids as the staff at the kid’s club will look after them carefully. At the Heavenly Spa by Westin™, you and your wife/husband can sign up for Heavenly Ritual for Couple. To celebrate the spirituality of love, this relaxing sensory ritual is a journey of pure indulgence. Your pampering begins with a footbath to refresh your tired and aching feet. A soothing body massage follows, releasing your body muscle tension, encouraging a full and deep relaxation. And then a nurturing facial to suit your individual skin type. A shared bath infused with essential oils and exotic flower petals brings this romantic session to the happiest of endings. Treated like Royalty. Together.
Culinary Journeys
To treat your tummy, the resort offers some alternatives for your benefits. Wake up to a hearty buffet breakfast with all your home favourites at Tabia. This restaurant features all-day dining by serving authentic local dishes. Alternatively, you can also go to Tall Trees for lunch during your pool time. This semi-open-air restaurant is located next to the main pool. This venue is a social hub and the resort’s ‘in place’ for poolside cocktails, hearty international fare, and fun! At Tall Trees, you can relax in fan-cooled comfort, sit closer to the poolside action under the shade of an innovative sun-louvre roof, or enjoy an alfresco ambience upon the elevated timber deck.
