Why visit Ubud with kids?
First up, if you’re planning a family trip to Bali then Ubud should absolutely be on your itinerary. The cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, Ubud has a wealth of family-friendly activities.
You can visit the spectacular rice terraces at Tegalalang, an easy walk with kids. There are several waterfalls in and around Ubud that the kids can dive in to and explore. If you want to immerse them in Balinese culture, then an evening at one of the Kecak Fire Dances is a spectacular experience. Alternatively the whole family can try out a class at Pondok Pekak Library and Learning Centre, where they offer a range of classes including wood carving, fruit carving and making your own Balinese offering.
There are also some great family-friendly places to eat in and around Ubud. We’ve written an extensive guide on where to eat in Ubud with kids here if you want more info.
What exactly is Titi Batu Club Ubud?
Titi Batu Ubud describes itself as Bali’s first family, sports and wellness community hub. Essentially its a pretty big membership health club that also offers space and facilities for the whole family. It opened in 2018 and is located in Mas, Ubud. Mas is a village to the South of Ubud – a short drive from the central area.
The site that Titi Batu is built on was originally home to a historic stone bridge that connected the villages of Mas and Lotunduh. It’s based on a narrow paved road that is strung with small hotels, yoga retreats and cafes. Titi Batu is directly opposite Pelangi School (where our boys attended during our time in Bali – more about this here). It’s a quiet little street that feels a world away from the hectic traffic in central Ubud.
Whether you’re visiting Bali with kids or solo, there is definitely something at Titi Batu for everyone. The club is a real mix of families, holiday makers and digital nomads of all ages. It’s a really versatile space where some people come to work-out, some come to chill and others use it as a flexible work space. Plus families are always welcome!
Titi Batu Ubud: Review of the facilities (for the grown ups!)
Titi Batu offers a whole range of facilities and can be a fab place to hang out for a variety of reasons. The facilities include:
- Gym
- Group workout classes
- Sauna
- Cold Plunge Pool
- 25m swimming pool
- Skatepark
- Squash Courts
- Basketball Courts
- Restaurant
- Co-working space
- On-site massages
- Sunloungers and cabanas for hire
Let’s explore some of these facilities in a bit more detail below.
Fitness/wellness facilities
For starters, there’s a state-of-the-art gym on site with a range of cardio equipment (bikes, treadmills etc), weight machines and free weights. Plus it is HEAVILY air-conditioned, which makes working out so much nicer in Bali! I am a bit of a keen gym bunny at home and was pleased to discover that all the equipment here was top quality and well-maintained.
Post-workout, you can visit the sauna and cold plunge pool to wind down after a killer session. To be honest the cold plunge pool is also pretty nice after a morning of sunbathing too!
If you prefer being in the water, the 25m swimming pool is a stunner. There are two pools at Titi Batu – this, as the bigger of the two, is reserved for adults only. So you can enjoy swimming lengths and cooling off without being dive-bombed by the kids!
There’s also a weekly timetable of group workout classes, including different types of yoga, dance classes, HIIT workouts and pilates. I found this wonderful for some grown-up ‘me’ time while we were on our family gap year. I tried out a pretty big range of classes and really enjoyed them all. The dance classes with Bambu were a particular highlight. She offers a range of different styles during the week, including a brilliant ‘throwback’ class. These hour-long sessions were a real workout and I always left exhausted but happy!
The basketball and squash courts can be pre-booked – equipment is also available to hire at reception.
Titi Batu also has in-house certified personal trainers available if you really want to max out your workout.
Chill-out space
If you’re more about the relaxing rather than the workouts then there is PLENTY of space at Titi Batu Ubud for you to find your zen. The whole feel of the club is really inviting – the architecture is a mix of industrial and natural and the indoor/outdoor set-up just makes it a really lovely space to spend time in.
There are sunloungers surrounding the pools and cabanas that you can hire (these come with a minimum spend on food/drink). There’s seating both outdoors and indoors. As with many places in Bali, the indoor area is also ‘open’ instead of being enclosed on all sides.
The wifi is excellent which means that this is a popular space for digital nomads/flexible workers. On any visit you’ll usually see plenty of people working remotely.
I was a member at Titu Batu for two months and at no point during the daytime was it too busy to find a sunlounger or a seat in the restaurant/bar area.
Titi Batu Ubud: Review of the facilities at Titi Batu Ubud (for the whole family)
Titi Batu is a popular spot for families. It’s location right across the road from Pelangi School makes it very popular with the after school crowd.
Whilst kids are not allowed in the 25m pool, there is a separate smaller pool aimed at junior guests. This was a big hit with our boys. Not only does it have plenty of space to splash around but it also has a jumping bridge. Which equals hours of fun!
For smaller children there’s a little playground to keep them entertained. If you’re looking to escape the heat there’s an air-conditioned family room inside that has arts and crafts supplies available. Great for sparking some creativity!
You can hire skateboarding gear at reception if the kids want a bit of adrenaline. Titi Batu also offer skateboarding lessons – you can book these at reception. The skatepark welcomes all kinds of wheels – skateboards, in-line skates, scooters and BMX bikes are all regularly seen on here.
Our Family Experience: Titi Batu Ubud Review
We spent several long, happy days at Titi Batu with the kids. The flexibility of the space means that you can chill out and use some of the grown-up facilities whilst the kids are entertained. This works particularly well if there are two of you – this means you can tag in and out of the child supervision. So each of you can enjoy a workout or swim in the adult pool in peace!
The very best time to visit Titi Batu with kids is on a Sunday. Every Sunday the club is taken over by the youngest visitors for Sunday Funday. Our boys still talk about Sundays at Titi Batu.
The Family Pool is transformed into a foam party on a Sunday. The kids can swim through and under the foam, and even jump into the giant foam mounds in the pool from the jumping bridge. Our boys would have happily spent ALL DAY doing this.
For a small extra fee (around IDR25,000/US$1.50) you can let the kids go crazy in a giant inflatable hamster ball on the pool too. In case they need anymore excitement!
They also have a bouncy castle set-up throughout the day, and every week there is a different activity running. These vary from dance classes to tote bag printing, magic shows to drawing sessions and science fun to learning how to tie dye.
You can easily spend the whole day here with the kids on a Sunday. There’s plenty going on and they’re likely to love the food and ice-cream too.
Food at Titi Batu Ubud
The restaurant at Titi Batu is open to everyone – this is one part of the club that you don’t need to be a member to access. You can pop in for a meal or a casual drink any time. And it does make a fab meeting point with it’s laidback vibe and plenty of space to chill out.
As you’d expect, the menu at Titu Batu is more expensive than you might find elsewhere in Bali. However, we still found it to be pretty good value. They serve a mix of Western and Indonesian dishes, with specials that rotate on a weekly basis. In general the portions are a good size and filling.
Given the focus on wellness at Titi Batu, there are plenty of healthy options on the menu. This includes the Bali favourite, beautiful smoothie bowls packed with fresh fruit. There is also a pretty extensive vegan menu too.
There’s a ton of fresh juices and smoothies on offer (including detox options). They also serve protein shakes and a range of teas and coffees. Or you can opt for a cocktail or a beer to sip on your lounger by the pool. Bliss!
Main dishes hover around the IDR65,000-100,000/US$4-6 mark. Juices and smoothies come in around IDR70,000/US$4.20.
Our boys loved the burgers and milkshakes here. These were a real treat on our visits!
The service at Titi Batu can be a bit mixed. The staff are genuinely lovely and friendly but it can be a bit slow at times. Just bear this in mind if you’re planning to order food for hungry kids – it can be worth getting in early!
Events at Titi Batu Ubud
As well as Sunday Funday for the family, there’s also usually other events throughout the week. There are regular DJ sessions (usually on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon). Plus they have live acoustic music a couple of times a week in the evenings.
On the first Friday of each month they run a market during the daytime. This has independent, local vendors selling a range of unique items.
There are also occasionally other events such as Balinese dinners. Every month they publish a list of all the upcoming events so keep an eye on their website for more info when you’re planning your visit.
Titi Batu Ubud: Practical Information
Titi Batu is open from 8am-10pm every day (except on Nyepi, the national day of silence on Bali).
Membership options
Whilst you can visit the restaurant for free, you will need a pass to access any of the other facilities. There are a range of options available depending on the length of your stay in Bali.
Day Passes
IDR190,000/US$11.50 for adults, IDR136,000/US$8.20 for kids (4-15years)
If you’re visiting Ubud for just a few days then these are your best option. A standard day pass to Titi Batu gives you access to all the facilities EXCEPT the gym for one full day. Note that day passes only allow one-time entry – you can’t go out and re-enter later in the day.
If you want to include gym access to your day pass then this will be IDR310,000/US$18.70 (adults only).
There are also specific day passes just for the skatepark or the basketball courts (IDR115,000/US$7 for adults, IDR85,000/US$5 for kids)
Longer term memberships
If you’ve got a bit more time in Ubud (highly recommended for a longer term family stay if you can) then the weekly or monthly passes are good value.
- Weekly Membership: IDR845,350/US$51 for adults, IDR524,700/US$32 for kids (4-15years)
- Monthly Membership: IDR1,457,500/US$88 for adults, IDR1,049,400/US$63 for kids (4-15years)
- 3 Months Membership: IDR2,798,400/US$168 for adults, IDR2,098,800/US$126 for kids (4-15years)
These include access to all the facilities at Titi Batu including the gym and the group ‘community’ classes. These community classes are labelled on the group class schedule each week. All other classes are NOT included in the weekly/monthly membership price and cost IDR174,900/US$10.50 per class. If you’re keen to join a few classes then you can purchase these in bulk which works out at a cheaper rate per class.
And if you’re really settling in Ubud for the long term, then there are also annual passes available for purchase.
Towels (both small and large) are available at reception when you arrive. You need to leave either a cash deposit or a form of ID at reception as deposit.
There are lockers available outside the changing rooms. These are free – you can ask for a key at reception on arrival.
Final thoughts and tips on visiting Titi Batu Ubud with Kids
We absolutely loved the whole vibe of Titi Batu, for both adults and kids. It was a fabulous daytime escape for me while the boys were in school. But it was also the place for some pretty epic family fun on the weekends!
A few tips if you’re planning to visit Titi Batu:
- Quiet times tend to be daytime during the week (mornings until mid-afternoon). You can often get a pool to yourself if you visit at these times!
- Sunday Fundays are BRILLIANT and subsequently very popular. Get there in the morning to get yourselves sun-loungers by the pool.
- If your kids want to find other kids to hang out with, then the early evenings are good for after-school fun.
- Bring snacks for the kids. The food isn’t bad value but the costs can add up if you’re there for the whole day.
- Keep an eye on smaller kids around the pools. The 25m pool is deep and there are no barriers around it.
- The day passes include food credit, so this brings down the cost of your family meals which is helpful.
- In the evenings the music can be loud and the vibe (particularly on the weekends) is much more party-like. If you have small children then nap times might be tricky at these times!
