The Apurva Kempinski Bali epitomizes refined luxury on the pristine shores of Nusa Dua, seamlessly blending Indonesian artistry with contemporary sophistication. This distinguished five-star resort captivates with sweeping ocean vistas, lush landscaped gardens, and architecture that pays homage to the archipelago’s heritage—featuring intricate carvings, indigenous materials, and a terraced design inspired by Bali’s iconic rice paddies.
Accommodation at the resort ranges from elegantly appointed rooms to opulent suites, many boasting private plunge pools and panoramic sea views. Among the standouts is the Cliff Private Pool Junior Suite, which offers a spacious sanctuary complete with a private pool, indulgent soaking tub, comfortable living space and exclusive access to the Cliff Lounge. The bedding is ultra soft and interiors are designed to give a sense of sophistication to your abode.
Cliff Lounge is where elevated privileges include curated breakfasts, afternoon teas, and cocktail hours, as well as hydrotherapy pools designed for both leisure and rejuvenation. The food and beverage served here are curated for the most discerning of palates with sustainability in mind. During breakfast the Taiwanese Foie Gras Congee is simply amazing (and that says alot since we are from Singapore), silky smooth porridge with generous portions of century egg, topped with decadent liver.
Dining is a celebration of culinary artistry, with each venue presenting a distinct experience. The award-winning Koral Restaurant invites guests to dine amid a mesmerizing aquarium setting, where delicacies like caviar served with potato churros and mother-of-pearl spoons redefine ocean-to-table elegance. Pala Restaurant & Rooftop Bar pairs golden sunsets with vibrant Indonesian-Indian cuisine (the Signature Thali that features curry, naan, samosa, kebab and many more is a must try), while Izakaya by OKU highlights Japanese precision in a chic, open-kitchen environment (highly popular dish is the Ikura Chawan Mushi made of flavourful Japanese egg custard topped with salmon roe and yuzu caviar).
The relaxed Reef Beach Club delivers memorable mains such as Reef Surf N Turf; a gourmet platter of fresh lobster, squid, clams, fish, tiger prawns and 600 grams of sirloin. Served with grilled vegetables, kangkung and french fries.—against a beachside backdrop. At Selasar, regional Indonesian flavors take center stage, especially through its “Unity in Diversity” menu that traces the culinary heritage of Sumatra. This establishment also serves an Afternoon Tea experience to elevate slow afternoons with artisanal pastries and premium teas.
For communal dining, Bai Yun offers a refined hot pot experience, featuring flavourful homemade broths and a bounty of premium meats, seafood, and local produce. The chef at Bai Yun is particular about consistency; being able to serve good food consistently making regulars out of guests. Opt for the Pork Collagen soup base that pairs well with Australian Black Angus beef tenderloin. The Dim Sum here is also world class rivaling those made in Hong Kong all served at the elegant and stylish dining venue. Popular choices are the Chef Signature beef meatball and prawn har gow.
Wellness & Facilities extend far beyond the conventional. The resort’s Apurva Spa features treatments such as the Stage of Life Massage, tailored with deep tissue techniques, aromatherapy, and acupressure to restore balance and serenity. An expansive infinity pool, modern fitness centre, and ocean-facing yoga sessions allow guests to unwind or energize in equal measure. For cultural immersion, the Becak Resort Tour—led by a knowledgeable guide in traditional pedicabs—offers guests a glimpse into local heritage and the resort’s rich storytelling.
It brings the team at Savour BlackBookAsia Magazine, lead by Editor in Chief, Gabriel Tan great joy to announce that The Apurva Kempinski Bali has won 2 awards for Bali Best Full Board Resort and Executive Club (Cliff Lounge) two years in a row. A well deserved win amongst the many world class properties on the island.
