Bali Just Got Safer and FINNS Beach Club Is Leading the Way

Planning a quick Bali escape? Whether it’s a long weekend reset, a cheeky date night turned into a mini holiday, or a family trip where you actually get a moment to sit down (we can dream), there’s a new reason parents can feel even better about booking that flight.

Because while Bali has always delivered on poolside cocktails, kids club moments and sunset magic, something big just changed behind the scenes and it matters more than you might think.

A New Era for Bali Travel Safety

FINNS Beach Club has officially launched Bali’s first dedicated search and rescue helicopter with hoist capability. Yes, an actual helicopter designed to respond quickly to emergencies across the island.

For Aussie families who treat Bali like a second home, this is a genuine game changer.

We are talking about faster response times, better rescue access across beaches and remote areas, and a level of infrastructure that brings Bali closer to the safety standards many parents look for when travelling with kids.

And let’s be honest. When you are travelling as a parent, your brain is never fully off duty. You can be sipping a margarita, but part of you is still scanning the pool, the ocean, the chaos. This kind of initiative helps take that edge off.

Why This Matters for Parents

This is not just a headline. It is real peace of mind.

Bali attracts a huge number of Australian visitors every year, many of them families. From beach days in Canggu to boat trips, surf lessons and resort hopping, there is a lot of movement and activity.

Having a dedicated search and rescue helicopter means:

• Faster emergency response across land and sea
• Increased safety in high traffic tourist areas
• Better support for both locals and visitors
• A stronger, more reliable tourism infrastructure

In simple terms, it means Bali is evolving in a way that supports how families actually travel today.

FINNS Is More Than Just a Beach Club4

If you have been to FINNS, you already know it is not your average beach club.

It is where you go for:

• A full day setup with kids in the pool
• A couple of hours that turn into sunset drinks
• A spontaneous date night while in Bali
• Or let’s be real… the one place everyone agrees on

But what makes this story different is that FINNS is not just creating experiences. They are investing back into the island in a meaningful way.

This helicopter initiative is backed by SGI (Sayap Garuda Indah) and supported by Indonesia’s national search and rescue agency BASARNAS. It is a proper collaboration, not just a one off campaign.  

You Can Actually Contribute Just By Being There

Here’s where it gets interesting and very on brand for modern parents who want their choices to mean something.

FINNS has built fundraising directly into the venue experience.

So while you are:

• Ordering a cocktail
• Sharing a drink with friends
• Booking a cabana
• Celebrating literally anything

You can also be contributing to real life rescue operations.

100 percent of proceeds from select menu items go directly towards supporting the helicopter and ongoing search and rescue efforts.

It is one of those rare moments where lifestyle and impact genuinely overlap.

Thinking about a quick Bali reset? Add to your list and experience it for yourself. Not just for the vibe, but for what it now represents.
