Waterpark in Bali Named the Best in the World

KOMPAS.com - The world’s best waterpark in 2025 has been named, and it is located in Bali, Indonesia. Waterbom Bali, a tropical-themed waterpark in Kuta, earned the top spot in *Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best 2025* awards.

Waterbom Bali CEO Sayan Gulino said the award reflects the team’s dedication to creating memorable experiences for every guest.

“This recognition means a lot to us because it comes directly from our guests. We’ve always aimed to be more than just a waterpark. Our goal is to redefine the idea of a traditional park with a strong focus on care, experience, and cultural and environmental responsibility,” Gulino said in a statement on Monday (Aug. 18, 2025).

Tripadvisor’s Global Recognition

Tripadvisor, one of the world’s largest travel platforms, grants the award to attractions that receive an outstanding number of reviews and ratings from travelers over a 12-month period.

Out of more than 8 million listings on Tripadvisor, only about 1 percent earn the *Best of the Best* title. Gulino noted this recognition highlights Waterbom Bali’s commitment to world-class guest experiences, premium quality, and constant innovation.

“Although we’re smaller in size, this global achievement is historic for Waterbom. We’ve managed to hold the title of Asia’s No. 1 waterpark on Tripadvisor for nine consecutive years,” he said.

This year’s award places Waterbom Bali ahead of some of the world’s most famous attractions, including Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the United States, Legoland Billund in Denmark, and Universal Studios Singapore.

“It’s an extraordinary achievement for a botanical waterpark on a small island in Southeast Asia,” Gulino added.

According to Tripadvisor’s official page, Waterbom Bali currently holds a 4.6-star rating with more than 17,600 reviews. The site describes it as:

“Located in the heart of Kuta, Waterbom Bali offers a thrilling contrast to the island’s tranquil temples. Enjoy over 21 water slides, float down the lazy river through tropical gardens, or test your skills on the FlowRider surf simulator. Guests can also relax at the swim-up bar, rent private cabanas, or unwind in Oasis Gardens, which features lagoon pools, sun loungers, and outdoor spas.”
