01Overview
The Apurva Kempinski sits on a clifftop within the Nusa Dua resort enclave, and it's built at a scale that few Bali properties attempt — several hundred rooms, suites and villas cascading down the hillside from a vast open-air lobby, alongside multiple pools and a genuinely striking amount of on-site infrastructure.
02The setting & rooms
Most rooms and villas come with garden or ocean views, and a large share of the villa-category accommodation includes a private plunge pool. The overall design leans modern-meets-classic Balinese, with a fairly polished, near-monochrome palette rather than a rustic aesthetic.
03Dining & facilities
Multiple restaurants span international and Indonesian cuisine, headlined by Koral — a restaurant built inside an aquarium, with stingrays and tropical fish visible through the surrounding tanks, a genuinely distinctive dining format not found elsewhere on the island. Multiple pools, a large spa, and dedicated kids' facilities round out the property.
04Who it suits
The scale and range of facilities make it a strong fit for families and larger groups wanting everything on one property — see our traveling with kids guide for how this compares to other family-friendly bases. Couples wanting a quieter, more intimate resort may find the scale here works against that specific goal.
05Practical notes
Around 30–40 minutes from the airport depending on traffic — see our airport guide for transfer logistics. As with any resort at this scale, expect a genuine self-contained experience; venturing out to explore the rest of Nusa Dua or beyond requires a driver or taxi.
