"Crafted into the cliff face of Jimbaran Bay, just 25 minutes from the airport, Raffles Bali is a 32 villa-only oasis. The entire property has been carefully designed to ensure every spot has an unimpeded view of the ocean, with peace and privacy the name of the game. The villas are a cool cocoon of high vaulted ceilings, lacquered mahogany floors, and idyllic views from the bed across your private garden to the ocean. Each comes with its own private pool, although for a change of scenery, you can choose to take a leisurely swim in the 82-foot beachfront infinity pool. For the ultimate oasis of calm and relaxation, be sure to book The Sanctuary, an open-air spa pavilion where tensions melt away to the sound of tropical birds rolling sea waves. Executive Chef Gaetan Biezus, affectionately known as Chef G by the Indonesian team, oversees the dining options across the hotel and strives to ensure at least 80 percent of produce is sourced from the Indonesian archipelago, with only 20 percent imported out of necessity. A must-book is Rumari, perched at the height of the hotel lobby for ultimate views and presenting a five-step culinary journey through Bali. Down at sea level is Loloan Beach Bar and Grill, which offers lunch and dinner menus featuring freshly caught seafood. The Writer’s Bar is the best spot in the whole hotel to watch the colorful sunset showcase, accompanied by a Bali sling and light tapas menu of Indonesian snacks. —Natasha Callin" - Chris Schalkx, Juliet Kinsman
"A serene, wellness-forward oceanfront estate spread across extensive grounds with just a few private villas—each features its own pool, oversized shaded daybed and in-room yoga amenities—where personalized service includes access to a Wellbeing Butler who arranges sunrise tai chi, traditional cleansing ceremonies, reiki and bespoke local therapies. The property balances refined dining (including a bar concept that nods to a famed cocktail heritage) with genuine, friendly Balinese hospitality for a quietly luxurious stay." - Kathryn Romeyn
"Cascading down a Jimbaran Bay hilltop onto a private beach, Raffles Bali is the island's big-buck newcomer. The villas—complete with butlers and infinity pools—meld traditional Balinese touches with the brand's signature chicness (think lots of polished wood and creamy color palettes) and dining options run the gamut from farm-to-table riffs on Indonesian classics to candlelit dinners in a 'secret cave.' (And yes, the Writers Bar does serve a Bali Sling.)"
"There are certain features you can expect at any Raffles hotel; among them are personal butlers, a world-class spa, and a glamorous bar serving riffs on the Singapore Sling, a nod to the brand’s flagship location and the signature cocktail invented there. Raffles Bali is no exception — here, butlers double as private buggy drivers, the spa specializes in energy healing, and the house cocktail is the arak-based Bali Sling. This Indonesian expression of the Raffles template works beautifully, in no small part because of the resort’s stunning location on the Bukit Peninsula overlooking Jimbaran Bay — but also due to the thought and care that’s clearly gone into the hotel’s elegant design." - Tablet Hotels
