Family Holidays in Indonesia

For those who take the path less trodden
Indonesia is an incredible destination for a family holiday. The vast archipelago has kaleidoscopic landscapes – where lush paddy fields collide with smoldering volcanoes and soft-white sand rolls into bright-blue ocean. Wonderful wildlife – from the legendary Komodo dragon to majestic manta rays and more. Secluded spots for switching off from the stresses and strains of life back home aplenty. You'll love Indonesia’s laid-back vibe and embrace ‘elastic time’.

ETG Make Family Holidays Fun & Easy

1. No time? No problem. You’re busy—we get it. Hand over the heavy lifting of planning to our experts and we’ll sort the details for you.

2. Designed for parents, by parents. We’ve taken our own kids, so we know what works well for families in Indonesia—and what really doesn’t—so you get a holiday that’s actually fun for everyone.

3. Discovery and downtime. Learn about new ways of living (and being), all together. Keep teens engaged (and off their phones) with proper, hands-on experiences and the freedom to explore—while you sneak in that poolside G&T.

4. Safe and stress-free. Our top-notch guides, smooth logistics, and carefully chosen hotels mean you can finally switch off and enjoy the ride.

5. The kind of memories that stick. Watch your kids embrace new experiences, step outside their comfort zones (with our support), and maybe even—shock horror—talk to you. These are the moments that bond you as a family, forever.

THE BEST TIMES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA

Luckily, the school summer holidays are a glorious time to visit Indonesia. The weather is at its best, so do plan ahead if you’d like to get your hands on your top choices of family-friendly hotels and villas.

We’ll always make sure you dodge the crowds but if you’d like to explore the most popular islands like Bali and Java outside of peak season, consider going in May, June or September.

Christmas is the prime time to visit the far-flung gem of Raja Ampat, when the sea is calm and clear – perfect for spectacular snorkelling that's sure to blow your teen's expectations out the water (literally).

For a deeper dive, browse our seasonal guide to Indonesia.

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA

THE BEST PLACES TO GO ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN INDONESIA

In our eyes, the best destinations in Indonesia for families are: 

The cascading countryside around Ubud, where the real magic of Bali lies – far from the maddening crowd on the coast. You'll have loads of fun like dashing through the dramatic landscape by bike and setting off on a spiritual walk led by a Balinese Brahmin, before refuelling with a fragrant, home-cooked feast.

Lombok for beautiful, balmy beaches you’re likely to have all to yourselves and views of the volcanoes opposite.

Komodo National Park or Raja Ampat for an off-grid sailing extravaganza.

And Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo) for a proper adventure with weird and wonderful wildlife to boot.

Indonesia has an almost infinite amount of places to explore, most of which are fab for families. Our specialists will make recommendations depending on your tastes, your terms and your timescale. Chat with our trusty travel team today to get their top tips.

"We had a fabulous family holiday in Indonesia, visiting Java, Bali and Flores. We had an action-packed agenda with many early starts to see sunrises (or avoid the traffic!) and amazing views from temples and mountains. We were immersed in a completely different culture and walked with the famous Komodo dragons!"

Claire

"A 16-night family holiday with 2 teenage boys. We did enough cultural visits to keep mum happy but with volcano visits, swimming pools, Komodo dragons, snorkelling and seeing manta rays – the boys had a fantastically diverse holiday."

Lynne

"Magical moments in Indonesia. Fantastic trip with ETG – great local guides, great choice of hotels, excellent organisation. All in all, a brilliant holiday made easy."

Travel Guide to Indonesia
Indonesia Guide

Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands, and a treasure trove of diversity. Yet many travellers only ever see Bali. Inspired by the Balinese philosophy 'Sekala, Niskala' (The Seen & The Unseen), our guide delves into both the highlights and hidden gems. Experience spiritual rituals in tucked-away temples, unique funeral rites in Sulawesi, and adventures in the 'Ring of Fire'. This guide lays out an unforgettable journey, revealing the magic beyond the usual tourist spots.

We simplify accommodation choices, from beach retreats to boutique hotels, and share must-try dishes and cultural quirks like why Indonesians wear winter coats in summer. When you're ready, chat to our Indonesia experts to tailor your perfect immersive experience through this colossal country.
