Indonesia Expands Bali’s Luxury Horizon with Raffles Residences Delivering Low Density Design Unmatched Privacy and Iconic Hospitality at a Five Point Three Hectare Estate

Published on December 4, 2025

Accor and Kajima Development Pte Ltd have unveiled Raffles Residences Bali, an intimate collection of 28 ultra-luxury homes set to be released in stages. The residences sit within a secluded 5.3-hectare estate next to the famed Raffles Bali in Jimbaran, introducing a fresh standard of high-end branded living on the island. Designed with a focus on striking architecture, complete seclusion, and direct access to the signature Raffles hospitality experience, the project brings a new layer of sophistication to Bali’s residential landscape.

Set on a dramatic, tree-covered headland overlooking the Indian Ocean and framed by views of Bali’s revered mountain ranges, the enclave is accessible through a quiet private road and planned with unusually low density to preserve serenity. Each home is carefully placed to ensure privacy while remaining close to the resort’s celebrated amenities. This rare combination caters to discerning buyers who seek refined craftsmanship, exclusivity, and the freedom of a standalone residence tucked inside one of Bali’s most secure and unspoiled settings.

The project is being developed by PT Jimbaran Greenhill, backed by Kajima Development Pte Ltd in collaboration with PT Jimbaran Hijau, with Raffles Hotels & Resorts set to oversee management. Scheduled to debut in the second quarter of 2026, these three- to five-bedroom residences begin at an impressive 502 square metres of interior space and are positioned to offer sweeping views of the ocean, the cliffs, or a dramatic blend of both.

A growing number of high-net-worth buyers are gravitating toward fully serviced homes that combine long-term investment confidence with a lifestyle free from the usual upkeep. Branded residences have surged in popularity because they deliver assured management, elevated living standards, and reliable resale value — qualities that are reshaping demand along Bali’s most coveted coastlines.

The addition of this development further reinforces Accor’s strong foothold in the branded residence market. The group now operates more than fifty branded residential communities across over twenty-five hospitality labels worldwide. This upcoming Bali property also enriches Accor’s luxury pipeline in the region, introducing a landmark project in one of Asia’s most sought-after leisure destinations. Raffles Residences Bali is poised to stand as a signature example of the company’s growing residential vision, extending across leading urban hubs and celebrated resort locations.

A carefully envisioned master plan brings the landscape and the coastline into one seamless frame. Crafted by an American design studio, the concept celebrates the site’s dramatic geography, shaped by the sweep of Jimbaran Bay to the north and a deep green valley stretching along the western edge. The result is a place where the calm of the sea meets the quiet strength of the hills.

Every contour and mature tree has been respected to preserve the spirit of the land. Natural light becomes a guiding element, helping to form a private residential community that feels deeply rooted in its surroundings. Each home is placed with intention, responding to the character of its individual setting while opening up to sweeping views of the ocean.

The residences—designed through a collaboration between an international construction group and design teams from Singapore and Bali—bring together openness, intimacy, and understated elegance. Spaces flow gently, prioritizing balance and clean proportions rather than excess.

A palette of refined, natural materials reinforces this grounded approach. Locally quarried Palimanan limestone, Sukabumi green slate, and enduring Indonesian hardwoods like teak and ironwood are paired with custom textiles inspired by regional craft traditions. Together, they create an atmosphere that feels both contemporary and timeless, echoing the cultural richness of Bali and Indonesia.

Natural light and gentle breezes are allowed to flow freely through the residences, creating a calm and airy atmosphere. Each home is positioned with privacy in mind, giving residents a sense of comfort and quiet separation. Indoors and outdoors blend effortlessly, with living and dining areas opening out to generous terraces, infinity-edge pools stretching fifteen to twenty metres, and spacious open-air zones fitted with shaded pavilions that take in the best views. Every compound features thoughtfully curated landscaping, using layers of local plants arranged in a controlled, harmonious way.

A subtle tribute to the vision of the late Dr. Shoichi Kajima — whose own home at The Batujimbar became a touchstone for tropical modernism — runs through the entire design. The result is an architectural character shaped by discipline and intention, delivering a timeless presence that feels both refined and deeply connected to its surroundings.

“With Raffles Residences Bali, we sought to create something that could only exist on this site — a site that carries the rare topographical condition of the ocean and mountain coexisting, echoing the character of Jimbaran and Ubud. The special connection between the ocean and the mountain is deeply valued in traditional Balinese cosmology and it was here that Dr. Kajima identified as a special place to witness the sunset, just as his Sanur villa was ideal to experience sunrise. When these residences are complete so will the vision to experience the best of Bali’s wonders from dawn to dusk.”

Interiors Crafted for a ‘Quiet Luxury’ Lifestyle

The residences embrace a calm, understated elegance shaped by celebrated design studios known for their resort-style sensibilities. Light-filled spaces, generous volumes, and a palette of natural textures define the interiors, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply relaxing. Bathrooms echo the experience of a private spa, complete with sculptural soaking tubs and open-air rain showers that blur the line between indoors and nature. Each villa is designed for effortless living, featuring two kitchens equipped with premium modern appliances, while bespoke furniture pieces add warmth, depth, and a sense of craftsmanship to every room.

Adaptable rooms further elevate the comfort of the villas. These spaces can shift seamlessly between a wellness studio, a study, a nursery, or an extra suite, and can accommodate fitness or health-focused equipment. This flexibility makes the homes especially appealing for families spanning several generations, offering room to grow and change with ease.

A Seamless Lifestyle with Signature Raffles Care

The defining hallmark of the residences is the rare blend of total seclusion and immediate access to the services of a world-renowned luxury resort. Homeowners enjoy priority entry to every corner of the property — from one of the region’s most celebrated dining venues to the beachfront, infinity pool, spa, scenic bar, and a host of curated wellness offerings.

Supporting this elevated lifestyle is the dedicated Raffles Residence Butler team, trained to manage every aspect of daily living. Whether it’s organizing housekeeping, maintaining the villa, tending to the gardens, arranging an intimate dinner prepared by the resort chef, planning a yacht outing, or putting together a meaningful cultural journey across the island, the butler acts as the resident’s trusted single point of coordination. Their role ensures the home always feels ready, welcoming, and perfectly aligned with the owner’s preferences — whether they live there year-round or return after a long period away.

“Raffles Residences Bali extends the brand’s legacy of elegance and enchanted glamour — offering owners a rare combination of privacy, craft, and intuitive service and an invitation to live within a haven where every detail is shaped by our heritage of gracious hospitality. From bespoke design to highly personalized service, it is a privilege to bring the Raffles lifestyle to a residential setting of such extraordinary natural beauty.” — Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts

Sustainability sits at the heart of the development, with the residences achieving Green Globe Certification as a mark of their dedication to environmentally mindful growth and long-term ecological care.

From the earliest sketches to the final stages of construction, the project followed a low-impact philosophy. Buildings were positioned to protect existing trees, native vegetation was conserved and woven back into the landscape, and the entire property features energy-efficient, sensor-based cooling systems designed to reduce consumption without compromising comfort.

Set just a 20-minute drive from Denpasar International Airport, the residences offer rare tranquility without sacrificing convenience. Guests are within easy reach of Jimbaran Beach, Balangan Beach, and Nusa Dua, while cultural landmarks such as Uluwatu Temple lie close by. A dedicated heliport inside the resort allows quick access to Ubud, Uluwatu, and nearby islands, with seamless arrangements handled through the Butler service—sidestepping Bali’s busy roadways altogether.

The development is further strengthened by Accor One Living, a forward-thinking platform that oversees the planning, design, and long-term operation of branded residences and mixed-use projects. This model connects homeowners and visitors to Accor’s broad network of hospitality brands and services, opening the door to new lifestyle, work, and leisure possibilities.
