Share The Article

Is it just us, or is everyone sleeping on the all-inclusive resort vacation? Here at The Bali Sun, it is our job to report all the top news stories happening on the island, but also to share top tips on traveling in the province.

We spend our days tracking travel trends, and we’ve noticed that ya’ll are sleeping on the joys of an all-inclusive vacation in 2026! 

We get it. It’s easer than every to create a self-organised vacation in Bali, and with so many different eateries to explore, so many different types of accommodation available and with so many incredible areas of the island to stay, it makes a lot of sense to have a multi-stop vacation in Bali with an itinerary that has the freedom to go with the flow, or wine and dine in different spaces for every day of the trip.

There is something to be said, however, for the classic all-inclusive vacation. We appreciate that in 2026, there is almost something a bit vintage about it, but here at The Bali Sun, we love the classics as much as we love the cutting edge, and with so many fantastic all-inclusive resorts to choose from, we’re heavily recommending that you give it some thought. 

Top picks for all-inclusive resorts in Bali have to start with Club Med Bali. Located in the stunning and ultra-luxurious resort of Nusa Dua, the hotel couldn’t be better located if it tried.

Speaking of fantastic family-friendly all-inclusive resorts, the Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali has to be right up there. Featuring the Family Paradise Wing, the Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali is home to its own Kids Mini Water Park, complete with slides and pools.

Family-friendly suites offer plenty of space for everyone to feel at home for the duration of their stay, and with all the resort’s restaurants, pools, and entertainment facilities located within a short walk of one another, the Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali is a favorite with little travellers and grown-ups too.

For those seeking an all-inclusive stay in Bali with a more mature feel, there are plenty of options to explore. Fiveelements Retreat, located close to Ubud, is one of the world’s finest wellness escapes.

Situated along the sacred Ayung River, Fiveelements Retreat is perfect for solo travellers, couples, and friends. As its name suggests,  Fiveelements Retreat is more than an all-inclusive vacation but a complete retreat experience. 

As explained by Fiveelements themselves, the retreat experience is “inspired by the Balinese philosophy of Sekala-Niskala, which encompasses the seen and unseen dimensions of life. Fivelements embodies the holistic connection between spirit, humanity, and nature.”

“Guests are invited to experience immersive rituals, sacred movement and breathing arts, and rejuvenating therapies that restore balance across all levels of being.” 

Since Fiveelements is one of the most in-demand retreat centres in Bali, it is highly recommended to book as far in advance as possible to secure preferred dates and to book directly for the best rates.
