August is one of the best times to visit Bali with the family. The weather is warm, the island is full of energy, and there is genuinely no shortage of things to do for every age group. The trick is knowing where to start.

If you are staying at Sun Island Bali, you are already in a great position. Our three properties sit in the heart of Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak, putting the best Sun Island Bali activities and family experiences within easy reach. Here is what to add to the list this August.

1. Spend a Day at Waterbom Bali

No family trip to Bali is complete without a day at Waterbom Bali. Voted Asia’s number one waterpark, this 3.8-hectare tropical playground has slides for every speed, a lazy river for those who want to take it easy, and dedicated family zones for the younger ones.

It is one of the top things to do in Kuta Bali and easily fills a full day without any extra planning. Guests staying at Sun Island Hotel & Spa Kuta are just minutes away, and our Front Desk team can help with directions or tips before you head out.

2. Try Padel at Kuta Padel Sport

Looking for something more active? Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world right now, and it is genuinely great for families. The rules are easy to pick up, the courts are enclosed so balls do not go flying, and the whole game is built around being social and fun rather than overly competitive.

Through our partnership with Kuta Padel Sport, guests of Sun Island Hotel & Spa Kuta enjoy special court rates at just IDR 280,000 per hour per court. It is one of the most high-energy and memorable things to do in Kuta for families who want to get moving and laugh a lot while doing it. Our Front Desk team can also help arrange your reservation before you head out.

3. Explore the Legian Night Market

Once the sun goes down, the Legian Night Market is one of the most charming and genuinely local things to do in Legian with the family. Located along Jalan Raya Legian, the market runs from around 7 PM to 11 PM and is packed with stalls selling everything from Balinese crafts and souvenirs to clothing, jewellery, and art.

Compared to the busier Kuta market, the Legian Night Market offers a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, ideal for families who prefer a laid-back evening. You will find Balinese street food favourites like grilled satay, nasi goreng, mie goreng, fresh seafood, tropical fruit juices, and traditional desserts at very friendly prices. Kids love the energy, parents love the food, and everyone goes home with a little something in their bag. Guests staying at Sun Island Hotel & Spa Legian are perfectly placed, with the market right on their doorstep along Jalan Legian.

4. Enjoy Poolside Yoga in Seminyak
