History
Raffles Bali opened in 2021 as a secluded hillside resort overlooking Jimbaran Bay, presenting 32 private villas with pools and gardens as part of the brand’s barefoot-luxury positioning. The official site describes it as a contemporary resort that blends Balinese heritage with modern luxury and sustainability, but it does not provide a detailed historical timeline for the property itself. It emphasizes a responsible approach that includes locally rooted design choices, on-site produce, and community-connected experiences. The property’s signature culinary identity centers on Rumari, led by Chef Gaetan Biesuz, and a cluster of distinctive private-dining venues.
The setting
Raffles Bali is set on Jalan Karang Mas Sejahtera No. 1A in Jimbaran, a forested hillside estate descending through streams and tropical gardens to a private stretch of Jimbaran Bay. The beach is eleven minutes on foot, connecting to the village's sunset seafood warungs and morning fish market — the authentic fishing-village culture that distinguishes Jimbaran from Bali's more urbane strips. Ngurah Rai International Airport is fifteen to twenty minutes north, making Jimbaran the natural first stop for luxury arrivals. Four Seasons Resort Jimbaran Bay is 236 metres away, placing Raffles within one of the Indian Ocean's most celebrated concentrations of world-class beachfront hospitality. 5 km from Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.
