Guest sentiment
The largest Raffles property in the world -- 32 all-villa suites across 23 hectares of Jimbaran clifftop, each with a private pool and 24-hour butler.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Raffles Bali sits on a secluded clifftop in Jimbaran, spanning 23 hectares and comprising just 32 villas -- making it the largest Raffles property in the world by land area despite its intimate key count. Every villa has a private pool, expansive outdoor space, and uninterrupted ocean views, supported by a 24-hour Wellbeing Butler reachable via WhatsApp. Guests consistently praise the Indonesian degustation menu at Rumari restaurant, the Secret Cave used for meditation and private dinners, and warm, attentive service, though the resort's relaxed 'Bali villa vibe' reads more casual than classic Raffles formality, and a handful of reviews mention small wildlife finding its way into villas through construction gaps.
