Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa proudly announces the appointment of I Wayan Raksa, a seasoned hotelier with nearly 30 years of hospitality experience, as the resort’s new General Manager. Bringing a wealth of global leadership and operational expertise, Raksa takes the helm of the premium lifestyle resort known for its dramatic cliffside views, immersive experiences, and the spirit of discovery that defines the Renaissance brand.
His career began in 1996 as a Valet Attendant in the Laundry Department at The Ritz-Carlton, Bali. Since then, he has held progressive leadership roles across Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio, including as Director of Rooms at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal; Resident Manager at JW Marriott Hotel Surabaya; and General Manager at Moxy Bandung, the first Moxy hotel in Asia Pacific. In 2020, he was named APEC General Manager of the Year for Select Brands, a testament to his forward-thinking leadership and deep commitment to excellence.
Now at the helm of Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa, Raksa is poised to further elevate the resort’s position as one of Bali’s most sought-after premium lifestyle destinations. He joins the team following his most recent role as General Manager of The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali.
“It’s an incredible honor to lead a property that blends modern design, local storytelling, and immersive guest experiences,” said Raksa, General Manager of Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa. “Renaissance guests are spontaneous explorers who seek more than just a holiday. They seek connection, discovery, and meaningful moments. I’m excited to work with our talented team to deliver just that.”
Perched on the cliffs of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, the resort features 207 rooms and suites, plus a luxurious Presidential Villa, The Spa at Renaissance, unique culinary venues like Double Ikat and Clay Craft, a pottery studio, and access to the beachfront Roosterfish Beach Club in Pandawa beach. The design is inspired by Bali’s terraced landscapes and traditions, with a contemporary twist that invites discovery at every turn.
