Conrad Bali’s Kura Kura Kids’ Club is designed to elevate children’s play experience while taking care to be mindful of the environment. The unique Kura Kura play space has been transformed into a vibrant underwater world to stimulate children’s senses, curiosity, and imagination.

Conrad commissioned talented local visual artists from Mural Bali - interior designers that specialise in Balinese artwork that employ eco-friendly water-based paints - to create an eye-catching marine world filled with weird and wonderful creatures to inspire kids’ creativity and pique their interest in learning more about the big blue and its ecology.

The idea was to marry the richness of Balinese local artistic talent with culture by giving them a blank canvas to decorate and translate Tanjung Benoa's fishermen village lifestyle painted onto the ceiling of the play space, where you will see the traditional jukung (a small wooden Indonesian fishing boat) and abundance of life under the sea in and around the location.

The toy selection at Kura Kura Kids’ Club was also recently upgraded, removing plastic items and replacing them with Indonesian traditional toys made from natural materials such as wood and bamboo to enhance tactile and sensory play. 

Outdoors, located immediately adjacent to the ocean, the little ones can discover an expansive and safe playground filled with different structures, equipment and spaces to engage in free play, offering a welcome break from screen time. Kura Kura Kids’ Club offers complimentary structured activities such as yoga, Balinese cosplay, dancing and traditional puppet-making, origami, and face painting among others. 

There are also engaging activities children may join for a small fee such as clay and turtle painting, t-shirt and bag painting along with jewellery making. Whether parents want to laze by the dazzling lagoon pool, work out in the well-equipped fitness centre or have a spa afternoon, they can be confident that their little ones will be extremely well cared for.
