Charity Update
Bali Children Project
Support Ayu Shri’s Dream Through the Bali Children’s Project
At Bali Dynasty Resort, we believe in giving back to our community and supporting Bali’s younger generation to build a brighter future. This season, we’re proud to partner with Bali Children’s Project to help a dedicated student, Ayu Shri continue her education.
Seventeen-year-old Ayu Shri from Denpasar dreams of graduating high school and working in a bank, just like her grandfather. Despite facing many challenges being raised by her elderly grandparents and working after school to support her family she continues to excel academically and pursue her passions in singing, fashion, and theatre.
With only nine months left until graduation, Ayu Shri needs sponsorship to complete her studies. Every contribution helps cover her school fees and daily essentials until she graduates in June 2026. By joining this initiative, you’re not only helping Ayu Shri reach her goal but also empowering her to inspire others in her community. You can support this cause by joining our Quiz Night every Tuesday and Thursday at Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub Bali. Together, let’s make education possible and change a life for the better.
Thank you for Supporting Kadek Dimas
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported our charity initiative with the Bali Children’s Project. Your kindness is helping students like Kadek Dimas, a seventeen-year-old hospitality student from Jembrana, continue his education and move closer to his dreams.
After losing his father to COVID-19, Dimas’ family has faced financial hardship, with his mother working tirelessly to make ends meet. Despite these challenges, Dimas remains determined balancing school with part-time work, excelling in his studies, and sharing his talent in traditional Balinese percussion. Thanks to your support, he now has the opportunity to complete his internship in Denpasar, a crucial step toward graduation in June 2026.
Your generosity gives Dimas more than just financial aid, it gives him hope and the chance to build a brighter future for his family. From all of us at Bali Dynasty Resort, thank you for being part of this meaningful journey and for helping make education possible.

Guest Feedback

It’s always an amazing stay at Bali Dynasty! This is our 3rd time staying and won’t be the last. The staff are always so friendly and the resort has so much to offer for all the family. Interconnecting rooms this time gave us the flexibility of 2 bathrooms having 3 kids in tow. The pool activities they do really makes a great atmosphere. Poolside drinks, snacks and foot massages with the wave of a little red flag is amazing. Kids love the water slides and fish feeding. The breakfast is amazing with a huge selection, it’s hard not to overeat but you rarely will need lunch. If you’re looking for a family resort, they cater for kids of all ages, you can’t go past Dynasty – Heath
This hotel is fantastic and is kid friendly too, and only 15 minutes from the airport. There’s always traffic, but that’s just Bali - Aria Randhawa
We have 3 boys and have stayed at Dynasty twice. It's a great place for the whole family. I highly recommend it - Andrew Rowlands
For a Bali family holiday, this place is excellent! Yes, it’s Bali — so don’t expect the Four Seasons — but do expect 5-star, family-catered luxury perfectly suited to Aussie families. The staff are FANTASTIC — genuinely kind, polite, and always ready to help with anything to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and safe. They’re especially amazing with children — even in full “meltdown muffin mode,” they step in with patience and smiles. We travelled as four families — all my sisters and their kids — a total of seven children ranging from 9 months to 12 years old. Every single one of them had a fantastic time! The kids club is a total lifesaver — it runs a full day of fun, including supervised swimming, pizza-making classes, lunch outings at some of the hotel restaurants, movie nights twice a week (so parents can sneak in a quiet dinner!), crab catching, dancing, Indonesian music classes, water games, and more. For parents, having quality time away from the kids while knowing they’re having the best time is what I class as true luxury. The rooms are well set up for families — with Google TVs in each room (complete with a PS3 /4- again this is Bali), USB ports for charging (bring your own USB-C connectors), and one international power point. Everything you need for an easy, comfortable stay.
Everything is so well catered to keep the kids entertained while parents can finally unwind — get a massage, sip a cocktail by the pool, or even head out for some child-free shopping and just breathe. Perfect for families — we’ll definitely be back! - Rebecca K
Bali Dynasty Resort is one of the go-to places if you're staying somewhere in Kuta. It can include excellent rooms, friendly staff and is very family friendly. THE KIDS: It is a great spot for the kids! Including two pools, (one being a kiddy one) a mini water park with two slides, a bigger slide for the teens, Kids club, and even includes Kids suites. SERVICE AND STAFF MEMBERS: pointing out the staff Arya is an absolute legend! so if you have kids staying there, he is the perfect match and is found in Café Piazza from noon, he can also cheer up adults possibly having a rough day! That was just a pointer, all the staff at the Dynasty are equally as great. LOCATION: the location of this hotel is perfect, it's on the beach front, is right next to Discovery Mall, a five-minute walk to Waterbom water park the (the best in Asia as of now), and is very close to local markets. ADULTS: Now for the adults there is a pool bar in the main pool, there are "no kids zones", within the "no kids zones" there's a relaxing beach like area accompanied by a relaxing swimming pool, a sports bar, and a gym. So, all the reasons on how Bali Dynasty Resort is one of the best in Kuta, if not the best! - Toby Haygreen
Awesome service. fantastic for kids young and old. Great breakfasts and dinners - Justin Weedon
Very well-appointed rooms and resort. Staff are awesome, and always remember your name. Made to feel so welcome. Was not our first visit, and will not be our last - Dayna R
Fantastic place to stay, stunning entrance. Pleasant and helpful staff make you feel very welcome. Very clean and lovely accommodation. Great food. Beautiful grounds and gardens. Great for families. Short walk to shops and beach. Everything you need is there. Had a very relaxing stay - Kerry D
Ideal location with excellent amenities for families. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were serviced early. Daily entertainment and activities. Excellent service in all areas. - Sue W
Wonderful Family Stay at Bali Dynasty! We had the best stay at Bali Dynasty. From the moment we stepped out of our car, we were warmly welcomed by every staff member we encountered. Check-in was quick and easy, and we immediately noticed how clean and well-maintained the lobby and common areas were — the floors were constantly being cleaned – Ataria
