More than a destination, The Apurva Kempinski Bali is a part of a new chapter in Bali’s story. It is a majestic open-air theatre where centuries of Indonesian culture, craft and beliefs are distilled and brought to life through curated experiences. Scattered between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the 17,500 islands of Indonesia are home to a kaleidoscope of people and cultures, whose history stretches back thousands of years. The influence of the successive Majapahit empires has left an indelible mark on the traditions, culture and psyche of the archipelago and its population. Myriad religions and beliefs help to make Indonesia one of the most diverse and colourful countries on the planet.

Majapahit was the largest kingdom ever to rule over Indonesia. It held power from the 13th to the 16th century: an era marked by great advances in the world of arts, design and architecture. Much of Indonesia’s cultural legacy was established during this period. An expression of the Indonesian motto – ‘Unity in diversity’, and imbuing the beauty of the Majapahit legacy, every aspect of The Apurva Kempinski Bali is a true expression of Indonesian elegance. Interior designer, Rudy Dodo of Trivium Design Group, has skillfully interpreted Indonesia’s traditional style and tropical characteristics. He has translated them into awe-inspiring interior spaces that blend modernity with a celebration of the past. The result is a tribute to the master craftsmen and skilled artisans who have shaped the history of Indonesian design and architecture.

Award-winning architect Budiman Hendropurnomo of UK-based Denton Corker Marshall, drew inspiration from the rice terraces and their centuries-old ‘subak’ irrigation system to create the concept for the resort. Modern Balinese architecture reflects the island’s natural landscapes and manmade temples in a symphony of natural stone buildings, bougainvillaea-covered terraces and a network of waterways and shimmering pools. Tumbling waterfalls emerge from the lush landscape, flanking the resort’s spectacular grand staircase. The 250- step walkway, inspired by Bali’s sacred Pura Besakih water temple, runs through the centre of the resort, and provides a stage for the enchanting Kempinski Ignite the Night ritual. With 475 guest rooms, specialty suites and exclusive villas, this five-star resort establishes its distinctiveness as a complete embodiment of Indonesia’s culture and craftsmanship.

Other facilities include a 60-metre swimming pool and a separate kids’ pool, and an innovative family club creates meaningful shared moments for families of all ages. For events, business meetings and weddings, The Apurva Kempinski Bali has a 1,076 sq m pillar-free ocean-view grand ballroom, and a suite of meeting rooms with ocean vistas.
