LIGHTFOOT TRAVEL: All Over Bali

Lightfoot's trusted villa options come fully staffed and many have facilities and activities for children. We love Villa Sungai which has 3 king poolside suites.  Next door, Sungai Gold is fab for single families with 2 king poolside suites.  If booked for a family, the second bedroom can be set up to feature 2 twin beds. The pool is large with a shallow area that is better for children, and as with Villa Sungai, a water slide can be added for families.
