A private family escape at the Mulia Villas, Bali

There is something particularly appealing about a luxury resort that allows a family holiday to feel effortless.

On a recent trip to Bali, one of Apex Travel’s Directors Luke Hardaker stayed with his young family at Mulia Villas, part of The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas in Nusa Dua. What stood out was not simply the scale or luxury of the property, but how easily it worked for everyone.

Seclusion, space and service

Tucked among tropical gardens, the 108 villas draw on Balinese design and feel you’re your own sanctuary. Offering guests an exceptional sense of space and privacy, with their own hydrotherapy pool, secluded outdoor living spaces and a dedicated butler service. It is a setting that invites slower mornings, afternoons by the pool and time together without the rush of a packed itinerary.

For a family, the 600 square metre Family Villas offer plenty of space, which makes a real difference. Children have room to enjoy themselves, while parents can still enjoy the feeling of a considered, luxurious retreat. “What we loved most was how easy it was to settle in and enjoy the time together as a family, while still having all the luxuries that make a holiday feel special” commented Hardaker.

That sense of ease continues throughout the resort. With a beautiful and safe beachfront, multiple kid friendly pools, activities for younger guests and an impressive choice of dining, there is little reason to leave unless you want to explore Bali beyond the resort. Days can move between the beach and pool, long lunches and relaxed dinners, with everything close at hand.

A table for every mood

When it comes to dining, choice is certainly not an issue. Villa guests have access to nine signature restaurants and bars across the resort, with everything from Japanese and Cantonese to Mediterranean inspired dishes and more casual options. “With little ones, you never quite know what mood everyone will be in at mealtime. Having so many restaurants to choose from meant we could always find something that suited the moment, whether that was a long lunch or something quick and relaxed,” says Hardaker.

Each afternoon, villa guests are also invited to complimentary afternoon tea with cocktails and canapés, a small ritual that sets the tone for the stay. For parents, The Mulia Spa offers a welcome change of pace, with an extensive treatment menu and beautifully considered spaces dedicated to relaxation.

Resort living, your way

Perhaps that is the greatest luxury of all. At Mulia Bali, a family holiday does not mean compromising on the experience of luxury. It means having the space, service and choice to enjoy it together, at your own pace.

For families looking for a Bali escape where privacy, thoughtful service and resort living come together effortlessly, Mulia Villas is well worth considering.
