For those planning a stay in Bali or already enjoying the comfort of a villa, Waterbom Bali remains a must-visit destination. On 27 September 2026, the popular waterpark was awarded Asia’s Leading Waterpark for the third year in a row at the prestigious World Travel Awards ceremony held in the Maldives. This accolade highlights Waterbom Bali’s ongoing dedication to providing an exceptional experience for visitors from around the world.
A Celebration of Excellence and Teamwork
Waterbom Bali’s Chief Operating Officer, David Garcia, accepted the award on behalf of the entire team. The recognition is not just about thrilling rides and attractions but also about the people behind the scenes—from the welcoming staff at the entrance to the maintenance crews ensuring everything runs smoothly. Their combined efforts create a seamless and enjoyable day out for families, couples, and groups alike.
Global Recognition and Guest Satisfaction
In addition to its regional success, Waterbom Bali also earned a top spot globally, ranking third in the Amusement & Water Parks category at the 2026 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards. This ranking was supported by over 18,000 guest reviews, with an impressive average rating of 4.6, reflecting the park’s consistent quality and popularity.
New Attractions and Family-Friendly Spaces
To keep the experience fresh and enjoyable, Waterbom Bali recently introduced Coco Gardens, a lush, shaded area near Zuluu Hill. This new space is ideal for children’s birthday parties and group gatherings, conveniently located close to the Kids’ Area, slides, and lockers. Villa guests with families will find this addition especially welcoming, providing a comfortable spot to relax between rides.
Commitment to Sustainability and Local Harmony
Waterbom Bali’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony between people, nature, and the spiritual world. This guiding principle shapes the park’s approach to sustainability and community engagement.
- The park operates entirely on renewable energy.
- Waste sent to landfill is kept to a minimal 0.68%.
- Water consumption has been reduced to 193 litres per guest, surpassing efficiency goals.
Beyond the park’s boundaries, the Seed of Thought program educates Bali’s youth and schools on environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, fostering a greener future for the island.
