THE Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan has unveiled its brand new Family Suites – an ideal option for parents and up to two kids. The new accommodations provide a spacious, comfortable home base when exploring the island’s lush central highlands and the nearby cultural capital of Ubud.
“Many people think of the Ubud area as a romantic destination for couples,” says the Resort’s general manager Uday Rao. “In fact, Ubud has become a lively, engaging town and there are plenty of activities for families at all stages. That’s why we’ve been making our Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan even more family-friendly.”
The new Family Suite category is part of a major reinvention of Sayan accommodations done last year. The renovations have transformed the collection of 18 suites, all located within the main Resort building, offering views of the vividly green Ayung River valley and rice paddies.
The Family Suites encompass 190 sq m, all on one level, including two bedrooms, plus a living area with an outdoor terrace for dining. The master bedroom features a king bed, lavish marble bathroom, a walk-in closet and a private terrace with two lounge chairs. The second bedroom is just off the living room and features a twin bed with another single bed that pulls out. This bedroom sleeps two children, or one child and a nanny.
With their location in the main Resort building, the Family Suites offer easy, elevator proximity to the lobby, restaurants, Spa and health club. The suites are also conveniently close to the recently unveiled Kids For All Seasons facilities.
For nature-loving families, there are plenty of rare and dazzling activities. Kids can meet monkeys at a small nature preserve that is home to hundreds of Balinese macaques. They can ride, feed and interact with the world's largest herd of Sumatran elephants and their babies. Or they can explore the Bali Bird Park, home to more than 1,000 species of birds, including many rare, exotic and highly colourful creatures. They can also experience the beauty of the Ayung River in a canoe, kayak, or raft.
