Choosing A Bali Hotel By Travel Style, Including Balquisse Heritage Hotel

The best hotels in Bali are the ones that make room for the holiday you have in mind. Perhaps that means a garden in Jimbaran, a family base near Ubud or an open-air stay among the trees. Begin with how you want to spend your days, then choose a room that fits the people coming with you.

Balquisse Heritage Hotel brings a smaller garden-hotel setting to this selection, with individually designed rooms and Javanese teak houses in Jimbaran. For travellers who want the hotel itself to be part of the holiday, its interiors offer a different starting point from a large resort. This guide was prepared for Balquisse Heritage Hotel.

The choices below focus on setting and room fit, not a single winner for every traveller.

Start with how you travel, not with a ranking

Picture the pace of your trip first. Would you rather return to a garden, keep the family together under one roof or spend time in an open-air setting? Once that feels right, compare the room layout, age rules and rate details.

Choose the setting before the hotel

A garden, a valley or a forest ridge gives each stay a different rhythm. Use these settings to find your starting point.

Five travel styles and the room that actually fits

Each travel style comes with a place to consider and a room detail worth knowing.

1. A resort base where young children stay busy

RIMBA by AYANA is the most compact part of its estate, with fewer stairs, says the resort’s December 2025 family guide. At Grand Hyatt Bali, the Toddler Club for ages 0 to 3 needs a parent or nanny present, while the Kids’ Club for ages 3 to 12 runs up to two hours of supervised activities a day.

2. Ubud’s town and countryside, with the family under one roof

From the edge of Ubud town, COMO Uma Ubud looks over the Tjampuhan Valley, and a complimentary scheduled shuttle runs to Puri Lukisan. The COMO Villa keeps up to five guests under one roof, while most other categories take two or three, including one child. Bringing a baby? Ask about pool fencing.

3. A forest wellness estate that still takes children

On a forested ridge above the Ayung River, COMO Shambhala Estate welcomes families, but the Estate Suite page adds a catch, since children aged 12 and under stay only in a villa or when the whole residence is booked. The One-bedroom Pool Villa takes three guests, including up to one child.

4. Open-air nature for two, adults only

Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, in the highlands north of Ubud, takes guests aged 18 and above, and its open-air bale follow a “No Walls, No Doors” philosophy.

Expect slopes, pathways and stairs.

5. A small garden hotel in Jimbaran

Balquisse Heritage Hotel suits a holiday built around a smaller garden setting and rooms with individual character. Couples can look at its rooms for two; families can consider Baldaquin, the Family Garden Room over two floors, for up to four guests or five with a cot. Some other rooms allow extra beds for children. Choose the room with the hotel so the layout and age rules fit your family.

Compare the exact rooms side by side

Look beyond the room name to the space, beds and pool arrangement. Those details matter more once everyone has unpacked.

Four labels that need a second look

Labels describe the stay, not the room rules.

In Indonesia, star class comes from certification by an accredited body, so no star class is given.

Use the questions in the first graphic before booking

Before choosing your room

The descriptions and room details come from each hotel’s published information, including Balquisse’s own room descriptions.

This is a selection by travel style, not a ranking or an on-site review. Confirm current room terms with the hotel before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are boutique hotels in Bali family-friendly or adults-only?

The label alone cannot answer that. Balquisse Heritage Hotel, a self-described boutique hotel, welcomes families and lists a Family Garden Room. Age rules vary by hotel.
