About Raffles Bali
Raffles Bali is an internationally branded luxury resort (part of the global Raffles Hotels & Resorts / Accor group) perched above Jimbaran Bay with 32 private pool villas and its own secluded beach — a genuine five-star property, not a boutique independent. The weddings page offers ceremony and reception spaces for intimate groups (up to ~30 guests in the flagship villa), with no pricing listed, consistent with bespoke luxury quoting. Its institutional backing, clear ownership, and operating history make it one of the most verifiable venues in the Jimbaran catchment.
Questions to Ask a Venues
How far in advance should I book a Bali wedding venue?
Popular venues, especially for peak season (roughly April to October) Saturdays, are often booked 9-12 months or more ahead. Off-peak and weekday dates can sometimes be secured with a few months' notice.
What happens if it rains on my ceremony day?
A properly prepared venue will have a specific covered or indoor backup space, not just a vague promise. Always confirm this in writing before booking, especially for a wet-season date.
Can I bring my own vendors, or must I use the venue's in-house team?
It varies by venue — some are fully exclusive, some fully open, many sit in between with an approved-vendor list. Confirm this and any associated fees before you fall in love with a space.
