This is no longer a 2021 Lebaran hotel promotion. Here is the updated guide to The Apurva Kempinski Bali, including its architecture, Koral Restaurant, dining options, spa, and how to reach the resort from Bali Airport.
The Apurva Kempinski Bali is still operating as a five-star resort in Nusa Dua. The resort has 465 rooms, suites and villas, a wide selection of restaurants, Apurva Spa, meeting facilities, wedding venues, and a dramatic clifftop-to-beach setting overlooking the Indian Ocean.
For room reservations, use the official Kempinski website or your preferred booking platform. For travel from Ngurah Rai Airport to Nusa Dua, Kura-Kura Bus currently offers private airport transfer from IDR 480,000 for the Major Hotel Area category.

1. Architecture That Remains One of the Resort’s Main Highlights
The name “Apurva” is closely associated with grandeur, but what makes the resort stand out is more than scale. Its design blends Indonesian and Balinese architectural references with a terraced landscape descending from the cliff toward the sea.
One of the resort’s most recognizable features is the 250-step Grand Staircase. The landscape concept also draws inspiration from rice terraces and the subak irrigation system, while Indonesian craft elements such as gebyok reinforce the resort’s cultural identity.
2. Koral Restaurant Is Still a Highlight — but the Description Needed Updating
The old article described Koral as “the largest aquarium restaurant in Bali.” The safer and current description used by the hotel is Bali’s first aquarium restaurant.
Koral continues to operate as a fine-dining restaurant where guests dine surrounded by aquarium views. Advance reservations are required because seating is limited, and table rules or deposits may vary by seating category.
The hotel currently lists lunch daily from 12:00 to 15:00.
Dinner is currently listed daily from 17:30 to 22:30.
Advance booking is required because seating is limited.
Check the latest Koral Restaurant information on the official hotel website.
3. The Dining Selection Is Much Broader Now
The restaurant list in the 2021 article is no longer complete. As of September 2026, The Apurva Kempinski Bali lists dining venues including Koral Restaurant, Izakaya by OKU, Bai Yun, Reef Beach Club, Selasar Deli, Pala Restaurant & Rooftop Bar, L’Atelier by Cyril Kongo, and the newly opened NAMI Teppanyaki.
Japanese casual dining with an open-kitchen concept.
Chinese dining with hot pot and dim sum.
The resort’s latest teppanyaki concept, opened in September 2026.
Beachfront dining with a 42-metre infinity pool.
Jamu, coffee and Indonesian-inspired light bites.
Local and international cuisine in a rooftop setting.
4. Apurva Spa: Indonesian-Inspired Wellness
Apurva Spa remains one of the resort’s key wellness facilities. Rather than describing it only as a “Javanese and Balinese spa,” the hotel’s current positioning emphasizes traditional Indonesian wellness techniques, including lulur and jamu, together with treatments tailored to guest needs.
The resort also currently highlights a fitness centre and Reformer Pilates as part of its wellness offering.
