Raffles Bali, an intimate oasis of Emotional Wellbeing
Raffles Hotels & Resorts is pleased to announce its 15th Raffles Hotel in the world, with the launch of the lavish Raffles Bali, which offers unparalleled views over the Indian Ocean and the famous Jimbaran Bay sunsets. With just 32 private pool villas, Raffles Bali epitomises distinguished charm for well-travelled connoisseurs seeking elegant spaces, privacy and cultural discovery.
The private limousine transfer from Ngurah Rai International Airport to the luxurious Balinese resort takes less than half an hour; yet despite its brevity, the journey has the power to transport you from one world to another. As the crowded streets of Jimbaran give way to sun-spangled gardens, a sense of tranquility descends. The winding road takes you deep into the heart of nature, to a hidden corner of the island that is steeped in local legend and defined by beliefs and customs that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
From each of the exquisite Pool Villas - the largest and most private in Jimbaran - abundant sunlight streams in through the patio doors to gleam off rich hardwood floors. The soft batik tapestry hanging behind the king bed is a tribute to the skill of Bali's local craftsmen, while rustic rattan furniture complements sweeping views of your private garden and the ocean beyond. Step outside into Bali's restorative warmth for a morning spent lounging at your private pool or reading on the gazebo's shaded daybed, enjoying the gentle breeze. When you feel like exploring the rest of the resort, your Raffles Wellbeing Butler will gracefully take you on a journey of discovery to wherever you want to go. All villas include indoor and outdoor showers, yoga mats and bespoke beach accessories, in addition to an indulgent soaking tub.

Enhanced Guest Safety and Service in the New Normal
As the world adapts to a new normal brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the local hospitality industry prepares to resume business operations, Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford steps out with another leading initiative among hotels in Singapore – an easy, safe and touchless solution that will offer guests the convenience, assurance and peace of mind to check in and out of the hotel with minimal physical contact and interaction.
To anticipate the needs of customers and continue to delight them in the immediate and long term future, it is an absolute essential to ensure cleaning and hygiene standards are the best in class so that guests feel confident, safeguarded and secure each time they stay at the Hotels.
With this new digital solution, guests are able to register and check-in prior to arrival, and check-out via the web or on their mobile device through the simple use of a QR code and with easy to follow step-by-step instructions; without the hassle of having to download any applications. They can also customise their stay with different hotel offerings, make payment online, save time and more importantly minimise face-to-face engagement to protect their own well-being.
In addition to the contactless check-in and check-out solution, Fairmont Singapore and Swissôtel The Stamford are also working on providing guests with a touchless and safe experience at each possible touch point in the guest journey. These include providing guests with all the information they need on their phones, including guest service information in-room; menus; payment at table; and Concierge information. In time to come, printed information may be completely done away with, which is a big and positive contribution towards sustainability as well.
