Raffles Bali

Our stay at Raffles Bali was nothing short of wonderful. The resort itself is stunning, with just 32 villas that create an intimate and peaceful atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by several team members, including our butler, Sila. Sila truly elevated our stay with his exceptional hospitality. He was attentive, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and even arranged a hospitality room for us before check-in without us having to ask. He also took care of our dining reservations and attended to us throughout our stay with just the right amount without ever being intrusive. Besides the lovely welcome amenities, we also appreciated the thoughtful birthday cake and flowers. And not to forget the turndown service with snacks and hot tea as well as souvenirs. Our villa was beautiful and impeccably clean. The real highlight was the outdoor area. It was the perfect space to relax and truly enjoy the villa. The private pool was noticeably larger than those at many other resorts we’ve stayed at in Bali. Dining was another standout. Dinner at Rumari was absolutely chef’s kiss with every dish being delicious, and it was impressive how they transformed something as simple as bakwan jagung into such a memorable dish. A special thank you to Dika, who looked after us during both dinner and breakfast. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always one step ahead in anticipating what we needed. We also had lunch at Loloan, which we thoroughly enjoyed, though we would have loved to see a few more options on the menu. It was also a pleasure meeting Fernando and Bernadine, who were both genuinely warm and welcoming. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday during our stay, and it was heartwarming that so many members of the team knew about it and took the time to wish him a happy birthday. To us, what makes a truly exceptional resort is the combination of a beautiful ambience, genuine hospitality, and memorable food. Raffles Bali delivered on all three, and that’s what made our stay so special.

The food was absolutely delicious, whether at breakfast or dinner. What made dinner especially memorable was the traditional Balinese ritual before the meal. The team also thoughtfully introduced the restaurant’s philosophy and the inspiration behind the menu, allowing us to truly appreciate their dedication to providing exceptional service. Speaking of service, I honestly cannot think of any hotel experience that compares. Even before we flew to Bali, the team contacted me by email to ask about the small details that mattered to us, as well as any food allergies or dietary preferences. From the moment we checked in, every staff member seemed to know my name and my family’s food preferences. This level of attentiveness was not limited to one restaurant—it extended throughout the entire resort. We truly felt exceptionally well cared for in every possible way. If you would also like to experience truly world-class hospitality, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Raffles Bali.

From the moment we arrived at Raffles Bali until the day we left, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. The property is stunning, our ocean villa was beautiful and impeccably maintained, and the food was consistently of the highest quality. Whether dining at Rumari, enjoying meals at the other restaurants, or experiencing the incredible in-villa BBQ, every meal was memorable. Our butler, Bella, was outstanding. She was always attentive, anticipating our needs and consistently going above and beyond to make our stay seamless. Bernadine, the manager, graciously accommodated all of our requests and ensured our experience was flawless from beginning to end. She even arranged a relaxing balinese massage at The Sanctuary. Every single staff member was genuinely warm, courteous, and attentive. We truly felt seen, heard, and cared for throughout our visit. The VIP airport service was also incredibly helpful, especially after traveling all the way from the United States. It made our arrival and departure effortless. Hats off to the entire Raffles Bali team for delivering such a personalized and unforgettable experience. We genuinely felt as though we were vacationing on our own private estate, with every detail tailored just for us. We can’t wait for another opportunity to return to Raffles Bali or experience another Raffles property in the future

My stay at Raffles Bali has been an absolute dream. My housekeeper, Indri, was just amazing. Her thoughtful care made every moment so warm and full of little surprises—she’s honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. The hotel’s location is just perfect. Waking up to that endless ocean view is totally breathtaking. And the best part? There’s so much to do that you don’t even need to leave the property, yet you’ll never be bored. I literally wished I could just freeze time and never leave. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I’m back in Bali.

I can’t begin to explain what an experience the Raffles Bali was. 6 nights with my family flew by. Every staff member was so incredibly kind and polite and anticipated all of our needs. Our 4 kids are rowdy and the staff was so accommodating and kind. Our personal Butler Sila was a true gem and took care of every small thing for us always with a smile on his face. For my birthday they surprised me with cake and flowers. Dinner at Rumari counter was a once in a lifetime experience and everything we ate from breakfast to poolside snacks was delicious. The best part of this hotel was not the beautiful villas which all felt private, but the true kindness and attention to detail every member provided. I’ve stayed at many of the world’s best hotels and I can say that the Raffles Bali service is at the top of the list. Can’t wait to return.
