The location is beautiful, the villa is glamorous, and the food is delicious, and yet a major appeal of Kemah Tinggi is the welcome given to children.  It is one of those rare places that can be all things to all people.  It is divinely grown-up and stylishly comfortable - ideal for a romantic escape - yet its space & relaxed atmosphere are very appealing to children. 

You will thrill in the staff who will fuss over your children like wonderful nannies - all Balinese love children, and the children can tell.  Young families can relax knowing they have the independence, privacy and flexibility to create their own schedule.  Everyone can do or eat what they want, when they want, where they want.

Kemah Tinggi prides itself in being amongst the best equipped villas for babies and toddlers on the island - children aren't just accepted, they're treated as valued guests whose needs are of equal importance to their parents'.  The villa's design enables children to run around freely and safely - there are few steps and no ponds, just wide manicured lawns, perfect for kicking a ball around.  A pool fence can be installed (a rare feature in Bali) and a mix of practicality and good looks ensures that there are few things that can be spoiled by wet feet or mucky fingers.  For those with more energy to burn, day membership at the Penguin Club at Le Meridien is an option, together with many other activities elsewhere on the island.  Your car has at least two rear seatbelts - not the norm in Bali either - so that your child safety seats can be installed to make traveling more comfortable for everyone. 

Kemah Tinggi is all about easy indoor/outdoor living, where things are kept simple but standards of service always high.  Cots, bathing & changing equipment, baby monitors and high chairs are all provided in sufficient quantities for two babies - even the kitchen is fully equipped for the youngest guest's bottle feeds.  There is separate accommodation (fan cooled with an ensuite shower) for a live-in child minder, although the villa's staff are more than happy to provide one-on-one babysitting.   Should you prefer to hire a local nanny, one can be booked at the owners' personal recommendation - although she is very popular and such arrangements should be made as early as possible.

The sleeping arrangements in the bedrooms are conveniently flexible.  All bedrooms can accommodate an extra single bed and the villa has two hotel quality trundle beds (with their own mosquito nets) for this purpose.  Bedroom two is the largest and has room for both trundles beds.  The king-sized bed in bedroom 4 can be separated to make two twins and a daybed also converts into another single bed.  

Staying in a villa really comes into its own at family mealtimes.  Kemah Tinggi's children's menu has all the usual favourites plus a few Balinese ones to tempt the more adventurous - and of course there is no need to battle with room service and a fractious toddler.  Kemah Tinggi's chefs are just as happy to whiz up some baby puree as to cook up a storm on a BBQ by the pool - and they will do so at any time you wish.   

As for the endless laundry children delight in creating - merely drop it in the laundry basket and it will reappear in their wardrobe, clean and pressed.

Now if that's not paradise...?
