Raffles to open new properties in Singapore & Bali

Accor-owned luxury brand Raffles has announced plans for a second hotel in Singapore as it prepares to reopen its flagship property in the destination this September following an extensive reimagining.

Over 135 years after the original Raffles opened its doors, Raffles Sentosa Resort & Spa Singapore will be an all-villa hotel set in over 100,000 square metres of sprawling tropical gardens with views over the beautiful South China Sea.

Villas will range in size from 260 square metres for the one-bedroom villas to 450 square metres for the four-bedroom villa, all with their own private pool and terrace area for the ultimate in seclusion and comfort.

Facilities will include a bar, restaurants, a fitness centre, a celebrations room and two meeting rooms, while the famous Raffles Butlers and Raffles Spa will be signatures of the resort.

Raffles Sentosa Resort & Spa, which is expected to open in 2022, is part of Accor’s plan to double the iconic collection, with recent openings including Raffles Maldives Meradhoo and Raffles Shenzhen, as well as upcoming projects including Raffles Udaipur and Raffles Jaipur.

The brand also announced plans for Raffles Bali, set to open in the prestigious Jimbaran Hijau area in 2020.

Perched on a hill offering unparalleled ocean views, Raffles Bali will comprise just 32 private villas, each with its own private pool, for the ultimate in luxurious seclusion. 

The resort will feature the famous Writers Bar, a luxurious Raffles Wellbeing Spa celebrating local rituals and healing treatments, and a restaurant, which will provide fresh, imaginative menus in surroundings that speak to the local Balinese architecture and traditions.
