Raffles Bali is the 15th property in the exclusive Raffles Hotels & Resorts chain. In addition, it is the second Raffles hotel in Indonesia. The hotel group’s other Indonesian property is located in Jakarta, the nation’s capital.

Imagine sunset cocktails on the veranda!

Discover Jimbaran Bay

Jimbaran is located on the Bukit Peninsula in Southern Bali. In fact, it is south of Kuta and Denpasar International Airport.

However, unlike Kuta, which is targeted at mass market tourism, Jimbaran, is a decidedly exclusive address.

Jimabaran Bay has a 4 kilometer stretch of sandy beach. Sun worshipers can rent lounge chairs on the beach. And the bay’s gentle breakers sometimes allow body surfing.

Foodies enjoy exploring the Morning Market, which 6 am to 3 pm, and the Fish Market, open from 6 am to 12 noon.

While the morning market offers some of the best produce on the island, the fish market offers a staggering array of freshly caught seafood.

Not surprisingly, numerous seafood cafes line Jimbaran Beach. And some of Bali’s most sumptuous resorts are perched atop nearby cliffs.
