Waterbom Bali Named the #1 Waterpark in the World by Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best 2025

BALI, INDONESIA – August 2025 — Waterbom Bali has been ranked the number one Waterpark in the World in Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best 2025, – the only award based entirely on guest reviews from around the globe.

The awards were announced last month and Waterbom Bali placed third in the overall list of the World’s Top 25 Amusement and Waterparks, making it the highest-ranked waterpark globally and a standout destination for thrill-seekers, families, and eco-conscious travelers.

The Travelers’ Choice Awards highlight the very best in travel, awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Less than 1% of Tripadvisor’s 8 million listings receive the Best of the Best honour, making this recognition a true reflection of Waterbom’s world-class guest experience and commitment to premium quality and innovation. Though smaller in size, this global win for the park is a landmark achievement, after holding Tripadvisor’s 1 Waterpark in Asia title for nine consecutive years.

Impressively, Waterbom Bali outranked global heavyweights like Disney’s Hollywood Studios (USA), Legoland Billund (Denmark) and Universal Studios Singapore — not bad for a little boutique, botanical waterpark on a small island in South East Asia.

Waterbom CEO, Sayan Gulino announced that this award is a true reflection of the passion, dedication and heart the team put into every experience and the care given to each guest:

“This award means so much to us because it comes directly from our guests and we’ve always worked hard to be more than įust a waterpark – we aim to reimagine traditional expectations, delivering an experience with a strong focus on care, a boutique approach, with respect for culture and environmental responsibility. To be recognised on the world stage like this is a credit to the passion, energy and hard work of our team” said Gulino.

With over 17,375 Tripadvisor reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, Waterbom Bali has long been celebrated for delivering unforgettable days out for all ages, since it opened in 1993, with a core focus following International safety standards, offering premium quality combined with the warm spirit of Balinese hospitality. This global victory is perfectly timed as the 5.1 hectare park has just finished a major redevelopment of its Kids and Family area, offering a wider range of fun for all ages.

Receiving the number one spot is a testament to Waterbom Bali’s commitment to delivering world-class experiences, made possible by the loyalty of its guests and the dedication of its passionate team.
