Raffles Bali: unforgettable family celebrations

Singapore-based hotel brand Raffles needs no introduction. After 128 years, the luxury hotel chain welcomes travelers in 18 countries.

The Raffles Bali resort opened in 2020 in Jimbaran Bay, but due to the pandemic it started operating at full capacity a couple of years ago. Like all hotels in the chain, Raffles Bali is ultra-luxe.

There are only 32 villas on a fairly large property, three of which have several bedrooms each. Importantly, the hotel is located on a hillside and the villas cascade with maximum privacy. Each villa is built to modern standards of ergonomics and design. The concept of living is our favorite – quiet luxury.

You can already take advantage of the special offer “Family Holiday”, which includes a 25% discount on a second villa.
In addition, look out for two, three and four bedroom villa options for private celebrations with your family or company.

Also:
• Turtle hatching season runs from April through October. During their stay at Raffles Bali, guests have the opportunity to witness the Turtle Release ceremony, the hatching of the turtles and their swift escape to the life-saving water
• Fun Pickleball Sessions. A relatively new dynamic sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. The outdoor courts provide the perfect setting for friendly matches or lively family games
• A master class to make Indonesia’s traditional herbal drink Jamu or your own version using fresh local ingredients under the guidance of expert bartenders
• Activities for children aged 3 to 12 years: arts and crafts, cupcake and pizza making classes, exploring Balinese culture through traditional dress and theatrical performances. Babysitting services are available on request
• Barbecue in the comfort of your own villa – at sunset, under the stars, in the aromas of freshly grilled seafood and meats. The resort’s chefs are at the guests’ service
• Raffles Spa believes that emotional and physical wellbeing is a necessity, so the hotel offers mindfulness classes that range from yoga and meditation to batik painting, reiki and sound healing. Wellness treatments are customized with cosmetics made from local ingredients and based on indigenous healing practices reminiscent of Bali’s heritage. The most unusual experience is at The Sanctuary Spa Pavilion, which is located at the top of a hill and is accessed by a path through the jungle.
