Raffles Bali, Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia

Set on a quiet hillside above Jimbaran Bay, Raffles Bali unfolds as a deeply private retreat shaped by gardens, ocean air, and space. 

With just 32 villas, each oriented toward the sea, the resort feels secluded and intentional, removed from Bali’s busier rhythms. 

The atmosphere is calm and generous, defined by distance, light, and a strong sense of arrival.

What Makes It Special

• A low-density hillside setting overlooking Jimbaran Bay
• All-villa accommodation designed for privacy and quiet
• Terraced gardens that soften the transition between land and sea
• Open layouts that favor airflow, shade, and long views
• A sense of retreat that feels personal rather than grand

A Day at Raffles Bali

Morning

Light rises from the bay, spreading across terraces and private pools. Breakfast unfolds unhurried, with the ocean below still and expansive.

Afternoon

The heat settles gently. Time drifts between shaded gardens, the villa pool, or quiet moments listening to wind move through palms high above the water.

Evening

As the sun lowers, the hillside glows warm. Dinner feels intimate and composed, shaped by soft air and views that stretch across the bay toward the horizon.

Night

Darkness settles quietly. The bay disappears into sound, lights scatter faintly below, and villas turn inward. Sleep arrives deep, guided by privacy and distance.

Insider Tips for Raffles Bali, Jimbaran, Bali, Indonesia

• Bring reef-safe sunscreen, lightweight layers for evenings, and insect repellent if you plan to explore gardens.
• The resort is slightly removed from walkable dining streets, so using app-based taxis (like Gojek or Grab) or arranging private drivers through the resort will be more efficient than walking long distances.
• Rumari: The restaurant blends local Indonesian flavors with creative international cuisine. 
• Complimentary guided walks through the resort gardens — great for nature lovers and photographers alike.
• For pool and beach lounging, mid-afternoon to sunset is magical
