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?
- A true beachfront location is at the top of your holiday must-have list, with easy access to the sand and stunning ocean views.
- 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.
- 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.

Grand Mirage Bali Map
The Grand Mirage Resort Bali map below highlights just how large this resort really is. The Main Wing sits on the left-hand side of the map, while the Family Paradise Wing is located on the right. Both wings enjoy a prime beachfront location, but the Main Wing generally offers rooms with clearer and more impressive beach views, perfect for watching the sunrise.
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 a 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.

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.

Final Thoughts on The Grand Mirage Resort
We always enjoy our stays at The Grand Mirage Resort in Tanjung Benoa. There is so much to do, the whole family loves it as they are always entertained!
Which wing would our family choose to stay in after we have stayed in both? Now the kids are over 10 years of age we choose the Main Wing, when the kids are younger it is probably easier at the Family Wing. And let’s be honest; when the kids are younger, the holidays are all about entertaining the kids 😉
