Christmas in Ubud with Children at a Luxury Villa
On Christmas morning above the Valley of the Kings, the day starts like any other at this boutique hotel. Mist fills the gorge, and warm water waits just outside your door.
What sets Christmas apart here is the atmosphere. Kids usually jump into the heated pool before their parents finish their first coffee, and by breakfast, the day is already underway without any strict plans.
Viceroy Bali is a peaceful boutique hotel set around the valley. Christmas in Ubud with children gives families a different kind of holiday. Instead of crowded beaches and packed schedules, you get space, privacy, and experiences made for spending time together.
With the Bali Family Package and villas built for families, the festive season is simpler for parents and more special for kids.
Villas That Fit a Family
Choosing the right villa is important because it shapes your whole stay when travelling with children.
Many families start with the Family Deluxe Villa. It has two interconnecting villas, so parents and children get their own spaces but stay close. With two private pools and a security latch between the villas, you get privacy and the convenience of being together.
If you have older children or are travelling with a nanny, the Deluxe Terrace Villa Two Bedroom gives you plenty of space under one roof. The Vice Regal Villa is even bigger, with two floors and a large pool, perfect for families who want extra room.
The Viceroy Villa is the largest option, with 400 square meters, a big pool, and a jacuzzi. It’s great for multi-generational trips, grandparents joining the family, or several families travelling together.
There are nine villa types to choose from. Every pool is heated, and every villa looks out over the valley.
The Bali Family Package at Christmas
The Bali Family Package is made to make Christmas easier for both kids and parents.
Kids under twelve get an extra bed, daily breakfast, free meals at CasCades Restaurant & Bar, daily ice cream, a welcome gift, pool and bath toys, and one activity of their choice. Families can also watch a movie in the private cinema room, and kids’ spa treatments are available if you ask.
At CasCades Restaurant & Bar, children aged six to eleven always get 50% off their meals.
Parents can relax with thoughtful extras. Each parent gets a 60-minute Balinese massage, a daily cocktail, a laundry basket for longer stays, and four hours of private babysitting.
With family movie nights or kids’ activities, the package gives parents time to enjoy a quiet moment together during the festive week.
Days That Fill Themselves
At Viceroy Bali, families don’t have to plan every minute. That’s exactly how Christmas in Ubud with children should feel.
On-site activities help kids discover the island in a fun way, from kite-making and cupcake decorating to fish feeding and picking vegetables in the organic garden. There’s also a family treasure hunt so children can explore the property through play.
Balinese offering lessons give a deeper cultural experience. Instead of just being a holiday activity, they show children a living tradition that’s still part of daily life in Bali.
When your family comes together for lunch, the Royal Balinese Rijsttafel at CasCades Restaurant brings a festive table inspired by Indonesian traditions. This nine-course meal introduces flavours from all over the archipelago and makes for a memorable shared meal.
Christmas in Ubud with Children Means Warm Water
December is Bali’s green season, so afternoon rain is common. But it rarely gets in the way of your stay.
Every villa pool is heated, so the water stays warm. Kids can swim on Christmas Day, something not possible in unheated pools at this altitude. If the rain sticks around, there’s always the cinema room, and daily ice cream is part of the fun.
Every villa pool at Viceroy Bali is heated. Children can swim comfortably throughout the festive period, including during the cooler mornings and evenings of the Ubud highlands.
When it rains, families can head inside to the cinema room, keep up with planned activities, or just enjoy the slower pace that makes Christmas in Ubud special.
What makes a family Christmas here special isn’t just what’s on offer, but also what you don’t have to do: no rushing between activities, no crowded spaces, and no need to plan entertainment every hour.
The villas give you space, Ubud offers new things to discover, and the Bali Family Package adds thoughtful touches to make the week easier for everyone.
