Raffles Bali: Jimbaran Bay secluded hillside ocean villa sanctuary with Rumari, Loloan Beach Bar, and private infinity pools

Cascading across 23 hectares of lush tropical hillside overlooking the azure waters of Jimbaran Bay on Bali’s southwest coast, Indonesia (just 25 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar), Raffles Bali opened as Indonesia’s premier ultra-luxury all-villa grand palace. Featuring only 32 expansive standalone private pool ocean villas, the property is an intimate haven of personalized luxury, with every single villa served by a dedicated Raffles Wellbeing Butler. Featuring the acclaimed hilltop dining institution Rumari (perched on the highest point of the resort with sunset sea views), the beachfront dining pavilion Loloan Beach Bar and Grill, the dramatic subterranean Secret Cave for private romantic dining, an expansive 25-metre beachfront infinity swimming pool, and the holistic Raffles Spa, this property is Bali’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Balinese royal spirituality and Jimbaran sunset splendour: personal Wellbeing Butlers greet guests beneath traditional thatched open-air pavilions before entering the breezy hillside lobby with sweeping Indian Ocean views, hand-struck bronze gongs, and chilled rosella flower herbal elixirs. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Balinese spiritual, marine, and culinary pursuits: walking down to the secluded private beach cove for swimming (steps away), private chartered catamaran cruises along the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu at sunset (15 minutes away), guided excursions to the sacred Uluwatu Temple (20 minutes away), swimming in your private 30-metre infinity pool, indulging in authentic Balinese boreh and chakra balancing therapies at The Sanctuary treatment suites, enjoying handcrafted Bali Slings at Writers Bar, and reserving dinner at Rumari.

Palace living balances active Balinese discovery with serene clifftop wellness: Raffles Spa features private open-air hillside treatment pavilions (The Sanctuary), meditation pavilions, sound-healing chambers, and therapies utilizing organic Balinese herbs, virgin coconut oil, and volcanic volcanic stones. Dining is an extraordinary Indonesian-international culinary summit: contemporary Southeast Asian gastronomy at Rumari (featuring Indonesian heirloom spices, fresh Jimbaran lobster, and Grand Crus), wood-fired coastal seafood at Loloan Beach Bar, bespoke private dinners in the natural Secret Cave, and cocktails at Writers Bar.

Accommodations comprise 32 standalone oceanfront and ocean-view pool villas styled in rich dark timber, hand-woven batik textiles, and private furnished sun terraces with private infinity swimming pools ranging from 380 to 900 square metres. Each residence features direct views of Jimbaran Bay sunsets, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with freestanding deep soaking bathtubs, outdoor showers, and custom amenities.
