What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

For well-traveled connoisseurs seeking space, privacy, and discovery. Raffles Bali is an intimate oasis of emotional wellbeing, inspired by a spirit of generosity that invites you to rediscover yourself and your loved ones. Indulge in the 32 most private and generous ocean view villas in Jimbaran. The resort’s sprawling private beach and lush garden, away from the bustle of Jimbaran Beach, gives it the feeling of an oasis, a treasure to be stumbled upon by only the most fortunate and intrepid of travelers.

Choose to spend your days at leisure, in the privacy of your villa garden with its full-sized pool and outdoor gazebo; or beneath the hands of a Balinese healing practitioner at Raffles Spa. If you prefer a more active approach to travel, options range from fishing trips and yoga sessions to a round of golf or our Balinese Dance Enchantment experience.

Cultural discoveries are a particular specialty at Raffles Bali. In addition to admiring the resort’s Balinese architecture or sampling authentic cuisine at Rumari Restaurant, we encourage you to explore the island’s colorful legends and time-honored rituals with carefully designed Balinese cultural journeys crafted by Raffles Wellbeing Butlers. These range from holy temple ceremonies to local cooking classes. It is our hope that the memories you make will serve as a lifelong reminder of the uninterrupted peace and wonder that define a stay at our hilltop oasis.
