Bali
A magnificent cliffside haven that took a decade to raise, every detail within a Raffles Bali villa is designed to impress. One can imagine the amount of time poured into the thoughtfulness of the fixtures, from the subtle physics involving the bathtub headrest to the carefully curated amenities, this resort is definitively top notch. The butler service here is truly deserving of its Raffles pedigree and an exemplary study of how this service should be seamlessly rendered. When enveloped within such luxurious elements, one can discern a palpable release from mundane living. The resort grounds are littered with exotic spots for intimate revelries, all meticulously staged and delivered with Raffles panache of course. The only reminder of the world outside is from the distant airport facilitating the endless landings and take-offs. Despite its fabulousness, can can still look forward to lusher flora and greater coverage from the intruding vistas.
