In March we escaped for a few days for a Bali family getaway.
We stayed at the lovely Grand Mirage Resort Bali located along Nusa Dua.
Whilst we were staying on the all-inclusive package option, I discovered that many of the activities were also included on the bed and breakfast package.
So what did I find to occupy our time so much we didn’t need to leave the resort?
Activities at the Grand Mirage Resort Bali
I like to start my days with some yoga under the trees whilst overlooking the water with the birds chirping in the branches above.
Yoga
If you are after something that uses a bit more energy there is a gym.
Or if you want to keep cool partake in the daily water aerobics, before a game of water polo.
Water aerobics
Or perhaps you would rather something the whole family can get involved in like a bike ride or an ocean kayak paddle.
and we’re off!
Ocean kayaking
Or just hang out together in the games room and play pool, air hockey, table tennis or a game of cards.

Perhaps you need or want to hone your cooking skills – get some tips from the poolside demonstrations.

Or get the kids to sample some tropical fruits.

Perhaps this is just all too much and you would rather relax in the pool with the kids

or without them

because you had dropped them at the kids club.

If you can’t keep up with which activity is on when there is an activity board just as you walk out to the pool.

That looks like such a fun place to spend some time! I could happy and relaxed with any of them. Thanks so much for sharing with us again this week for Photo Friday!
Your welcome Jen. This resort was exactly what we needed after a particularly stressful few months.
This seems like a great resort! It’s hard to find all inclusives that you want to stay at the whole time, but it looks like Grand Mirage has a lot to offer!
I’m sure if we had stayed longer Kacy that we would have looked for some day trips as well, but it was great to have so many options for things to do for a getaway.
The Grand Mirage looks like a great place for a family getaway, it is rare to find an all inclusive deal, which is a huge saving for families. Thanks for linking up with #TheWeeklyPostcard
I think Lyn as with any type of travel, do your research and if it meets your needs at a price you are comfortable with then it’s perfect for you.
Bali is on my bucket list, but it’s one of the trips that I want to do with just my husband. I really love going to all inclusive resorts with the family and leaving the wallet in the room since everything is included.
I have to say Carmen I really liked that as we check out there was no heart wrenching moment when you worry how much you have spent extra you have spent. There was nothing more to pay.
I love Bali, particularly jimbaram beach. Wish it wan’t so far from us.
We haven’t been down to Jimbaram Bay Eileen. Hopefully we get to have a really good look around the island when we return in 6 weeks for annual family holiday.
That is quite the serious activity board! Did it leave you with time to relax?
Originally we had thought we would do a trip whilst we were in Bali, but as you point out Crysta there is quite the activity list so we found we didn’t have to go anywhere to keep young minds occupied. However I did relish my yoga sessions in the morning 🙂
Would love to stay in a place like this. I love the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have a great place to rest after a long day of sightseeing.
So true Ruth, though on this occasion we didn’t do any sightseeing we were just there for the rest after a particularly stressful few months
Looks like an awesome place to stay! Have not been to Bali and to be honest, with everything in the media about it it does scare me a little…
I think like everywhere Zita, you have to pick and choose your areas to visit and obviously don’t put yourself in harms way. There are some very safe family friendly areas.
I love Bali, and the total relaxed vibe of the entire island. It looks like the resort just takes it to a new level.
Happy Weekend Travel Inspiration!
Totally agree Corinne, Bali is all about relaxation.
I think I would like to try an all inclusive holiday one day, it looks really relaxing, yet still filled with so much to do.
Thanks for joining in #wednesdaywanderlust this week.
It was our first all-inclusive experience Malinda, perfect for a getaway. However all these activities listed were available even if you stayed on the bed and breakfast option.
You had me at yoga 😀
And of course, I would probably spend my days diving hahaha. I hope to visit Bali soon!!

They had me at the yoga as well Allane, whilst many resorts OUTSIDE Bali have yoga as part of their included activities most IN Bali charge a hefty price.
Yess! I am planning to go to Bali next year, and I really want to do same yoga and diving there, and I found a place that offers both 😀
Where are you staying Allane?
Looks lovely – we normally stay in a villa but we did 2 nights in a resort this time too…Pretty hard to go wrong in Bali, don’t you think?
You are so right Lydia, there is so much choice for accommodation in Bali it would be hard to foot wrong.
Looks like a busy holiday with all those activities. Great to have a club for the kid’s. Thanks for sharing with the #BlogFair.
That’s the beauty of inclusive activities Karen you can be as busy or relaxed as you like. We did a bit of both.
Thank you for linking up on Travel Tuesday! I’m always a big fan of any resort with a kids club. How else would I be able to relax by the pool or do some yoga right???
So true! because it’s you holiday too.
omg, this is fantastic! we’re expecting our first little in december, so the idea of an all inclusive where we never have to leave the resort is quite appealing! thanks for sharing!
I think for a first family holiday all-inclusive would be a great option. When you do get going on your first trip, research how easy it will be to get about with your pram. Also pop back to Toddlers on Tour which is all about providing Travel Tips for Travel with Kids, (babies and toddlers).
It’s nice to have somewhere to go with the family, that caters for every need, sure does help make it less stressful when travelling with children. Looks like you had a lovely time in March! Thanks for linking up too.
Your welcome Stephanie, it’s great to find a resort that caters for all demographics.
