Raffles Bali is pleased to announce the appointment of Henri Arnulphy as General Manager. With nearly two decades of international hospitality experience, Henri brings a leadership style defined by sincerity, creativity, and commitment to service excellence.
Born and raised in Mauritius, Henri’s connection to hospitality began early, assisting his parents with running guest houses, restaurants, and tours for visitors to the island. “Speaking and connecting with people visiting our country, even as a child, felt natural to me,” he recalls. “I always enjoyed making sure guests left with their best memories and share it with their friends back home. When I was first hired as a Guest Relation Officer, I envisioned one day managing a resort.”
Since then, Henri has held senior leadership roles at distinctive resorts across the globe, each known for their exceptional settings, refined hospitality, and close relationship with the natural environment — including Jade Mountain in St. Lucia, Constance Moofushi in the Maldives, and Sandy Lane Yacht Club in the Grenadines. Throughout his career, he has overseen award-winning operations, earning recognition from Forbes Travel Guide, AAA, Condé Nast Traveller, and Travel + Leisure. His expertise includes resort transformations, new openings, and initiatives that bring together sustainability and meaningful community engagement — values that closely align with Raffles Bali’s vision of conscious luxury.
Henri first visited Bali in 2015 and still holds fond memories of that experience. “Joining Raffles Bali is not only a personal milestone, but a chance to work closely with the island’s culture and be part of the continuity of the Raffles legacy in the region,” he says. As he leads with authenticity, creativity, and focus, Henri places the highest priority on understanding the needs of his team and guests. “Excellence is about continuous improvement and being creative with even the smallest details,” he adds.
Outside of his professional endeavours, Henri’s life is defined by his curiosity and love for adventure. As an avid traveller and sports enthusiast, he values cultural exploration and community connection, shaped in part by his travel across 67 countries. Henri’s sense of adventure leads him to activities like scuba diving, for which he earned his PADI certification, and participating in marathons. Always looking to push his limits, he also enjoys trying thrilling pursuits such as paragliding and skydiving. These experiences help shape his perspective and approach to his career, allowing him to adapt to new situations and embrace challenges.
With Henri’s vision and commitment, Raffles Bali continues its journey as a sanctuary of well-being, grace, and individually tailored experiences — guided by the enduring legacy of Raffles service.
