Each villa has its own pool, a soaking tub, indoor and outdoor showers and a private garden with ocean views. General manager Katya Herting said the resort offers “utmost relaxation due to its generosity of space”.
Dining is spread across the estate. Rumari sits at the resort’s highest point with a sunset terrace, while Loloan Beach Bar and Grill is on the sand beside a 25-metre infinity pool. The Secret Cave is set up for candlelit private dinners, and the Purnama Honeymoon Bale sits on the oceanfront rocks.
Writers Bar, the brand’s signature bar, comes with a library, here serving a Raffles Bali Sling. Raffles Spa has two treatment suites plus The Sanctuary, a treatment suite set apart on the hillside.
Michael Issenberg, then chairman and CEO of Accor Asia Pacific, described Raffles Bali as the brand’s second hotel in Indonesia, after Raffles Jakarta. The opening offer started from USD 2,660++ for three days and two nights, including transfers, breakfast and wellness and cultural experiences. Details are on the Raffles Bali website.
