The Birthplace of stories and legends since 1887, Raffles is a legendary brand, steeped in history and loved by generations past, present and future.  Raffles, at distinguished landmark addresses around the world, is the vibrant heart of its destination, curating experiences that are culturally enriching, intellectually stimulating and always respectful of local communities, heritage and the environment. 

Set above Jimbaran Bay, Raffles Bali is a place of quiet grace where nature, space and service come together with ease. Spanning 23 hectares, with more than half preserved as greenery, the resort offers both ocean views and lush landscapes, a balance of openness and tranquillity. Recognised with many international awards, it is celebrated for its design, wellbeing philosophy and thoughtful service. Conveniently close to the airport and supported by an onsite heliport, the resort remains serene and secluded. Each of the 32 villas features a private pool and garden, shaped for light, breeze and calm. Guided by the Raffles Butlers, experiences unfold gently, from the Botanical Tour and Birds and Butterflies Watching to cultural activities that reflect the island’s heritage. Here, time softens and every gesture is crafted with care, an invitation to experience Bali through the enduring grace of Raffles.
