//The Apurva Kempinski
//
The Apurva Kempinski is a 465-room resort stepped down a cliff in Sawangan, Nusa Dua, with a beach club at the bottom and Bali's first aquarium restaurant. It is big, full of stairs and busy at breakfast, but strong for families and food. Book a Grand Deluxe Lagoon Room and swim from your terrace.
The Apurva Kempinski sits on a cliff in Sawangan, at the southern end of Nusa Dua, and its 465 rooms, suites and villas step down the slope towards the sea like rice terraces. A grand staircase of more than 200 steps runs through the middle, and lifts do most of the work. At the bottom is Reef Beach Club, with sun loungers, cabanas and a 42 m infinity pool on the sand.
Food is the best reason to come. Koral is Bali's first aquarium restaurant, Izakaya by Oku does Japanese, Bai Yun serves Cantonese hot pot and dim sum, and Pala has live cooking stations and a rooftop bar. Families get the Jalak Family Club, beach watersports with staff on hand and Grand Deluxe Lagoon Rooms whose terraces open onto the pool. Meal plan varies by rate; you see what is included on the booking screen before you pay.
Size is the trade-off. Reviewers in 2026 describe a hectic breakfast between 8 and 9am, hot corridors and rushed service, and the hotel's own page still lists parts of the family club as planned. The airport is 16 km away, about 30 minutes by car. Book the Lagoon Room, eat at Koral once and go down to breakfast early.
A plan built around this hotel
Everything was very good and well presented. The breakfast in Pala restaurant was a particular highlight. The pool was also enjoyable to spend time in and towels were very plentiful. Room service was frequent and thorough.
— The price was not justified, despite a very good overall experience. Generally you will have to pay more as well for food and experiences.
Amazing hotel with beautiful surroundings, comfortable and clean rooms, excellent food, and great facilities. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.
— Nothing
An unforgettable stay at The Apurva Kempinski Bali Our stay at The Apurva Kempinski Bali was truly unforgettable. What makes it even more special is that it was a last-minute booking — we had originally planned to stay somewhere else, but we are now so incredibly thankful that we changed our plans. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we could have made. From the moment we arrived, the hotel completely exceeded our expectations. It is absolutely breathtaking. The architecture, the atmosphere and the attention to detail throughout the resort are simply wow. Our room was beautiful, luxurious and incredibly comfortable, and the pools were spectacular. The food was wonderful too, with plenty of choice and everything we tried being beautifully presented and delicious. But what really made our stay stand out was the exceptional service and the people. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming and genuinely attentive. A very special shout-out to Aryel and Dewa Adi, who looked after our room and went above and beyond throughout our stay. Our room was always absolutely spotless, smelled incredible, and was continually replenished with everything we needed. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed and made such a difference to our experience. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of us. The Apurva Kempinski is more than just a beautiful hotel — it is an experience. We left feeling incredibly grateful that our last-minute change of plans brought us here, and we honestly couldn't have wished for a better stay. We loved every minute and would return in a heartbeat. If you're considering staying here, don't hesitate — this place is truly something special.
— We didn't stay long enough to enjoy more of the restaurants and other facilities.

Yes, a resort this size has plenty under cover. Bali's wetter season runs from November to March, January is usually the wettest month and August the driest. On wet days, Koral, Bai Yun, the spa and its reformer Pilates studio keep you busy.
At 80 m² it is 15 m² bigger than the entry room, and its terrace steps straight into the lagoon pool. It sleeps three, so it suits a couple or a small family who want to swim without walking to a main pool.
Value pick:Grand Deluxe Ocean Court King — the 65 m² entry room with a garden-view balcony, a bathtub and a separate shower. Take it if you'll spend your days at Reef Beach Club anyway.
The cliff temple where the Kecak dance is performed at sunset, and the easiest half-day of culture from here. The resort faces the morning sun, so this is your sunset outing.
Bali's busy surf beach, backed by shops and bars. Go for an afternoon if you want a break from resort life.
Rice terraces, temples and the island's green interior. It is a long drive from here, so give it a full day and leave early.
