Bali With Kids: How to Keep Your Style Without Losing Your Mind
By Celini Goulart
Bali with kids is genuinely magical. But somewhere between packing the sunscreen, kids' swimwear, floaties, and snacks, moms often forget about their own wardrobe.
Moreover, finding flattering swimwear for moms that feels good, yet is comfortable, is challenging. Worry less. Your Bali trip deserves better than that. And so do you.
Whether you're a few months postpartum or just past the season of caring about tiny triangles, you're on the right page. This article features well-chosen pieces from ARUN Wear that are best suited for "mom-friendly swimwear."
Bali Beachwear Guide for Moms in 2026
As a mom in Bali, rather than following trends, you should chase your comfort. At the end of the day, you have to manage everything while creating evergreen memories with your little ones. Here are the beach outfits that actually work for moms in Bali
1. Think Of Co-ord Sets as Your New Best Friend
If you really want to live and look like an effortless mom, there's nothing better than a matching set. This is one of the styles that you don't have to think much about. Best in case, you're uncomfortable with mom's belly (though no reason to feel so). You simply have to choose a chic style like our Bella Shirt and Bella Pants in leopard prints. Put them on, and you look like you have your life together (even if ten minutes ago, you were fishing a toy out of the pool).
- Wear the Bella shirt with a contrasting black bikini top.
- Carry the shirt open for a relaxed and effortless morning look.
- Button it up in case of temple visits.
- Messy buns and sunglasses can literally level up your overall look.
- You can even wrap the shirt across your waist for an even tan.
This is the kind of outfit that you can slay all day, wear in photos, and like enough to repeat.
2. A Sarong Will Definitely Do More Than A Coverup
A sarong is definitely an essential piece of beachwear for moms in Bali. And, trust us, not just as a cover-up, you can definitely style a sarong in multiple ways on your Bali trip (sometimes even as an actual outfit).
- Tie our large Praia Sarong as a skirt over a simple top for breakfast in Seminyak. You can maximize its white color by pairing it with a colorblock crochet wrap.
- Wrap it around your shoulders at the temple.
- Lay it down as a beach blanket for the kids.
- Use it as a light cover during the car ride when the aircon is too cold.
- You can also style a sarong as a top or a wrap for layering or an aesthetic look.
Sarong is not beachwear, but a genuine piece that deserves a special place in every backpack when traveling to Bali.
3. Beach Dress That Goes From Beach to Dinner
Even as a mom in Bali, you can't compromise on fashion aesthetics. You need at least one dress that's versatile. You need not multiple pieces but definitely something that works the whole day long, without requiring extra effort.
- Our Paradiso Maxi Dress has been loved by all women, including moms.
- Throw it on after a morning, wear it to lunch, and keep it on for sunset drinks.
- It is lightweight, hand-crocheted, and has that effortless Bali look that photographs beautifully without trying.
- Pair it with flat sandals, and you are done.
- To limit sun exposure, you can also style it with a matching or contrasting Margot hat.
At Arun Wear, we have a range of beach dresses for moms. You can explore and choose your best fit. Crochet dresses are trending for Bali vacations this year. If you want something slightly more relaxed, the Slow Fringe Dress is equally easy. It's a warm brown crochet piece that sits perfectly between casual and dressed-up. You can also go for a solid colorblock black beach dress if you don't want to experiment much.
4. A Premium Swimwear (But Make It Count)
Bali is all about bikinis and swimsuits. Just cause you have kids now, that doesn't mean that you need to compromise on classic swimwear for your Bali trip. Invest in one swimwear piece for your Bali trip with kids, but make sure it's something you feel great in.
You can either go for two-piece bikinis or a one-piece swimsuit, based on your choice and needs. Here are a few styling tips:
- You can go for a long-sleeved swimsuit for sun protection in Bali, like our Bora Bora One Piece. It's genuinely useful when you are spending full days outside with kids. The swimsuit features a deep V-neckline and a flattering cut that works on every body.
- Or you can go for a backless color block swimsuit. The Puka One Piece from Arun Wear is one such example. Its timeless design looks effortless and chic. At the same time, the backless look turns the center of attention in the room.
- For a two-piece bikini set, choose the bikini top based on your preference and body type. Don't follow the trends blindly. Instead, hear your body and find your perfect fit.
- You can pair your bikini top with high-waisted hot pants for an elevated look. That's one of the best combos for new moms, as high-waisted hot pants can easily hide your mommy's belly pouch.
While choosing mom's friendly swimwear in Bali, always prioritize quality. Choose swimwear made of premium fabric like ECONYL® recycled nylon. Such fabric may be expensive, but it holds its shape trip after trip. One piece can thus last multiple trips despite your body's change.
