Raffles Hotels & Resorts, a name synonymous with landmark properties and legendary service, is expanding its global collection with three new openings in 2024. These include Sentosa Island, Singapore; Jaipur, India; and Al Areen, Bahrain, enhancing the Raffles portfolio that spans 22 properties across 18 countries. The expansion continues the brand's tradition of bringing its world-renowned butler service and a spirit of glamour to key international destinations.
The Raffles Al Areen Palace Bahrain, opened in January 2024, combines Raffles' impeccable service with Arabian hospitality in the country's first and only all-villa resort. This palace resort offers secluded private pool villas, dynamic culinary offerings, exceptional wellbeing spaces, and a strong connection with nature through a palace botanist who hosts exclusive workshops.
Raffles Jaipur, set to open in Spring 2024, promises a culturally rich experience along India’s famed Golden Triangle. The hotel will feature 50 suites, many with jacuzzis and private pools, and showcase the best of Rajasthani craftsmanship. A holistic wellness program curated with India's wellness masters, along with diverse dining options and a spa, will make it a serene sanctuary.
Raffles Singapore Sentosa, opening in late Fall 2024, will continue the brand’s storied legacy on Sentosa Island. This 62-villa resort, designed by Yabu Pushelberg, will offer a regenerative wellness-focused spa and over 24 acres of gardens, providing a tranquil retreat close to the vibrancy of Singapore.
These new properties reinforce Raffles Hotels & Resorts' commitment to offering unique experiences that connect guests authentically to their destination while maintaining the brand’s signature style and service.
