We have really enjoyed our stays in the Grand Mirage Resort Bali Main Wing, and in this review, we share everything you need to know before booking. This Grand Mirage Bali review focuses specifically on the Main Wing. Its rooms, facilities and who it’s best suited for. If you’re looking for information on the Grand Mirage Family Paradise Wing, you can also find our full review in a separate blog post.

Why should your family stay at The Grand Mirage Bali?

• An actual beachfront location is at the top of your holiday must-have list, with easy access to the sand, stunning ocean views and gorgeous sunrise views from your room.
• You want plenty of room options, from spacious family suites to comfortable standard rooms so that you can choose the perfect setup for your stay.
• All-inclusive packages available
• You prefer a quieter, low-key area of Bali with a small selection of shops and restaurants just outside the resort for convenience.
• Your kids love activities, because the Grand Mirage offers an incredible range. Think water park, lazy river, waterslide, foam parties, gaming centre, kids clubs and daily entertainment.
• A delicious buffet breakfast matters to your family.

Grand Mirage Bali Overview

Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali is located in Tanjung Benoa, just 20 minutes from Bali’s international airport and right next to Nusa Dua, a secure gated area known for its higher-end resorts. This area is famous for its calm waters, a huge range of watersports and those breathtaking Bali sunrises.

The resort is divided into two distinct sections: the original Main Wing and the Family Paradise Wing, which opened in 2017. Each wing has its own dedicated entrance and check-in area, something to keep in mind when you arrive, as you should let your driver know exactly which wing you are staying in.

Pools at Grand Mirage Resort in Bali

Main Swimming Pool

Open 7 am to 7 pm daily, with the swim-up pool bar open from 11 am to 6 pm.

The pool at the Main Wing was a great temperature to swim in, with a swim-up bar, a kids’ shallow area, a waterfall and deeper pool.

Lazy River

Open daily from 10 am to 6 pm

The newest highlight at the Grand Mirage Resort is the exciting Lazy River. Stretching 215 metres, it’s the first and longest lazy river of its kind at any resort in Bali. Winding gently through the gardens at the street side of the main wing, it’s the perfect place to relax and have fun with the kids. It’s suitable for all ages, with plenty of tubes and life vests available so everyone can join in the fun. Located at the street side of the Main Wing, it also features the new Lazy Pool Bar and is located near the spa.

Infinity Pool (Adults Only)

Open daily from 7 am to 7 pm

The adults-only pool is located above the main pool and is perfect for escaping the kids while still being close by.

Beach at The Grand Mirage

The beach at the Grand Mirage is a hub of watersports, with plenty of activities happening throughout the day. There’s also a designated swimming area, giving kids a safe spot to splash and swim. Beach conditions change with the tide; high tide is best for swimming, while low tide is excellent for exploring the shallow waters and spotting marine life.

Grand Mirage Bali Rooms

The rooms in the Main Wing have been renovated while still retaining their charming traditional Balinese style. It gives them a different feel from the more modern, contemporary rooms in the Family Paradise Wing. Rooms facing the ocean have incredible views of the gorgeous sunrises.

Please note: The rooms facing the new Lazy River are called New Premiere Pool Access (Ground Floor) and New Premiere Garden. If you want a room overlooking the Lazy River, make sure to request one of these room types when making your booking.

Room types available in the Main Wing:

• New Premiere Garden

• New Premiere Pool Access (Lazy River or Main Pool views)

2 Bedroom Ocean View Suite

We stayed in the 2 Bedroom Ocean View Suite at the Grand Mirage in 2023 and absolutely loved it! Perfect for our family of four, these suites can accommodate up to six guests. They also offer interconnecting rooms, making them an ideal choice for larger families or friends holidaying together.

New Premiere Ocean

We stayed in the New Premiere Ocean Room in 2025, and it was perfect for the three of us. Featuring a king bed with a separate trundle bed, these rooms combine modern touches with recent renovations. Some rooms also offer interconnecting options, making them ideal for larger families. The rooms sleep a maximum of 4 people. We stayed in room number 4432.

New Premiere Terrace Garden

During our 2025 visit, we visited the New Premiere Terrace Garden Room. Located on the ground floor, these rooms offer lovely views of the lush gardens and provide easy access to the main pool, perfect for families who want convenience and a peaceful garden setting. I love the hammock overlooking the gardens, ideal for reading a book and relaxing.

Universal Design Suite (Accessible & Senior Citizen Friendly)

A new room category at The Grand Mirage Bali is the Universal Design Suite. This room is accessible and senior-friendly, featuring two electric adjustable beds for maximum comfort. It can also be connected to a New Premier room at an additional charge. A fantastic addition to the resort, and our friends at Rollin Adventures in Bali stayed here and shared the following photos of the room. You can also find them on Instagram.

The Rooftop Bar, located above the Jukung Restaurant, is a fantastic place to relax, enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down at the end of the day.

Coconut Pool Bar

Open 11 am to 6 pm

The Coconut Pool Bar is a lot of fun and a great place to hang out with family and friends. Located next to the Grand Cafe, it is the perfect spot to enjoy an all-inclusive cocktail. During our stay, we found the service a bit slow when ordering cocktails, but ordering a Bintang would have been quicker!

While the area doesn’t have as many shops or restaurants as Legian, Kuta, Seminyak or Sanur, it still offers far more convenient access than the resort area inside Nusa Dua, making it a nice balance of quiet and convenience.

Final Thoughts on The Grand Mirage Resort

We always enjoy our stays at The Grand Mirage Resort in Tanjung Benoa. There’s so much to do and the whole family loves it because they’re always entertained.

So, which wing would we choose after staying in both? Now that our kids are over 10 years old, we prefer the Main Wing. When they were younger, the Family Wing was definitely the easier option. And let’s be honest – when the kids are little, holidays are pretty much all about keeping them entertained!
