Waterbom Bali

Kuta, Indonesia

First opened on the island of Bali just over 28 years ago, in 1993, Waterbom Bali is a boutique, botanical waterpark experience, nestled in the heart of Kuta.

The park was built with the aim to create a space that provides visitors a memorable and fun experience, while also respecting the natural world around us. Thus, Waterbom Bali was consciously developed to complement the existing environment, with over 50% of the area’s local greenery being conserved, and all the slides and features of the park built around the existing flora and fauna, rather than over it.

Surrounding Waterbom’s world-class slides and attractions, lies a carefully landscaped sanctuary of gardens and water systems proudly representing the beauty of Bali.

To this day, Waterbom encompasses 3.8 hectares, including slides, the popular ‘Pleasure Pool’ with swimup bar, private gazebo areas, expansive lawns and multiple restaurants and still maintains more than half of the park as green space, including a number of endangered native species.
