Hotel Positioning
5 Star Luxury
Development Strategy
Set on cascading hills overlooking the Indian Ocean, Raffles Bali embodies the Balinese philosophy of ‘Tri Hita Karana,’ which fosters harmony between humans and God, humans with one another, and humans with nature. This philosophy is evident in the design of each villa, where the natural contours of the land were preserved, native plant species were chosen, and efforts were made to strengthen the local community bonds. The construction process, adhering to the highest standards of craftsmanship and sustainability, began in 2010 and was meticulously completed in 2020.
RAFFLES BALI
History & Story
Raffles Bali’s history dates back to 1984, when the land on the Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran, was first discovered. Its development, however, began much later, in 2010, with the goal of creating a luxury retreat deeply rooted in Balinese culture and natural beauty. Embracing the philosophy of ‘Tri Hita Karana,’ which emphasizes harmony between humans, nature, and the divine, the resort’s design carefully preserved the land’s natural contours. With a vision of serenity and exclusivity, the property was shaped by world-class architects and designers, including James Hyatt Studio and Grounds Kent Architects, over a decade of meticulous planning. The construction process was undertaken with sustainability in mind, dedicating over 70% of the 23-hectare (56 acres) area to greenery. The resort was completed in 2020 and had its official opening in 2021.
With just 32 private villas, each offering sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, Raffles Bali provides a sense of intimacy and elegance. The villas are thoughtfully integrated into the surrounding environment, reflecting the resort’s commitment to preserving the natural landscape. This delicate balance between luxury and nature, along with the infusion of local craftsmanship and culture, distinguishes Raffles Bali as a serene retreat in the heart of South Bali.
From its early beginnings to its grand opening, the journey of Raffles Bali is a testament to the dedication and vision of creating a tranquil, luxurious escape that stays true to Bali’s rich traditions and natural beauty.
