Best Family Villas Uluwatu:

Los Cabos Villa

One of our favourite family-friendly villas in Uluwatu is Los Cabos Villa, and it’s a place we’d happily return to again and again in fact we will stay there again this year! Tucked away just off the main road between Padang Padang and Thomas Beach, this villa offers the perfect balance of location and privacy. It’s close enough to walk to cafes and beaches, yet far enough away that you’re not dealing with road noise or crowds, which is a big win in Uluwatu especially if travelling to Bali with a baby.

The villa itself is spacious, modern and incredibly clean. With multiple bedrooms, a private pool, full kitchen and open living spaces, it feels like a proper home base rather than just a place to sleep. We love how easy it is to do slow mornings here — coffee by the pool, kids playing in the pool, and then heading out to explore nearby beaches or cafes. If you’re travelling with kids (or just want space and comfort), Los Cabos Villa is an excellent choice.
