Raffles Bali

​Visited as an Accor Platinum. To be completely honest, I had my doubts at first. Considering the steep price tag, I couldn’t help but wonder, "Will it really deliver that level of satisfaction?" Spoiler alert: That worry was a complete waste of time. 😅 ​The awe started right from the airport pickup and lasted all the way to our final drop-off. A chauffeur greeted us in a private BMW, perfectly prepped with snacks and drinks inside. ​The room was flawlessly crisp and cozy. Lounging by the ocean-view pool, listening to the birds chirping right in front of us... it was the ultimate recharge for a tired mind and body. 🌴 ​And the breakfast? So dangerously good that you'll want to keep eating even when you're about to burst. The staff's hospitality was incredibly professional and seamless—every single moment felt genuinely touching. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my personal butlers, Jerikho and Indri, for their exceptional care. ​Here’s the best part: When we checked in, my wife drew the line saying, "This is just a one-time experience." Exactly 24 hours later? "We need to come back here at least once a year." 🤣 ​Even post-checkout, they provided a courtesy guest room so we could rest comfortably right up until our flight. The departure was flawlessly orchestrated too—another BMW transfer to the airport, topped off with a VIP escort and fast-track immigration. ✈️ ​Raffles Bali isn’t just about the stay; the journey there and the journey back are part of the masterpiece. Just writing this makes me want to teleport back right now.

The villa was spotless, beautifully maintained, and offered beautiful views that made every moment feel special. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. A special thank you to Bella and Thomson, our butlers, for their warm hospitality and attentive service throughout our stay. The photography session was another highlight of our stay. It gave us beautiful memories.

We are coming to the end of a four-night stay at Raffles Bali in Jimbaran, and the experience was carried, from arrival to departure, by a butler team that anticipated rather than reacted. Buggy transfers around the resort were seamless and never left us waiting, restaurant and spa reservations were arranged the moment we asked, and personal preferences, from bathrobe sizes to in-villa comforts, were remembered without our having to repeat ourselves. The service was warm and personal in a way that is rare even at this tier. The villa lived up to the billing. It was beautifully appointed, completely private, and opened onto a killer view over Jimbaran Bay that we did not tire of once across the whole stay. The food was a highlight throughout, from breakfast through to dinner, and the kitchen handled a no-ginger, no-chilli allergy reliably at every single meal. If there is one area with room to improve, it is housekeeping consistency. The outdoor bale and gazebo seating needed flagging more than once before it was properly cleaned, and the daily turndown, lovely as it is, varied a little from night to night; this evening the lemongrass tea arrived but the accompanying sweet was missing. A few small touches would lift things further still, such as tidying and fastening the tangled cabling around the villa, which the better properties, the St Regis and the Oberoi among them, handle neatly with cable ties. None of that took the shine off a memorable holiday. The butler service, the villa, and the food more than earn the score, and we would happily return.

Our stay at Raffles Bali was an unforgettable and magical experience: First, the hilltop villa was spectacular; it perfectly faced the beautiful Balinese sunsets with a beautiful infinity pool and a luscious garden. The villa was kept spotlessly clean by the outstanding housekeeping team. They would also leave delightful little touches including an array of herbal teas and traditional cake with a little explanation of what tea it was or cake was made . Our butlers Indri and Sila anticipated our every need and were genuinely warm and caring when providing their service ,they went above and beyond for us and really made our holiday special . In fact, the entire team was incredibly attentive from the moment we arrived. The guest experiences were also remarkable. On offer were activities such as in villa painting classes ,dance classes , meditation and Yoga . We especially loved the botanical tour, after which we were offered a lovely gift, consisting of honey from the stingless bee which is cultivated on site and a map of the grounds . Rumari at Raffles was superb and we had the opportunity to embark on Chef Gaetan’s gastronomical journey (according to our preferences where possible).The in-villa dining was equally exceptional and the private barbecue evening with chefs and waiters was an especially memorable and romantic occasion. Overall, this was the best hotel experience we have ever had and one we would thoroughly recommend

One of the best resort I been too with great hospitality to the layout of the villa and great pool and the layout of the greenery all over the resort to the great butler service Indri and Bella and big thanks to the GM Henri and to the ppl who work on the resort
