This The Apurva Kempinski Bali airport transfer guide helps guests plan a comfortable arrival, departure and private journey while staying in Nusa Dua. Vehicle options include Innova, Alphard, Hiace, Hiace Premio, Hiace Premio Luxury and private buses for larger groups.
In addition, guests can combine their stay with a Mangrove Canoe or Stand Up Paddle experience in South Bali. For a private transfer, VIP vehicle or group movement, contact Kura-Kura Bus and we will help arrange the most suitable option.
What is the best transfer to The Apurva Kempinski Bali?
The right vehicle depends on both your group size and luggage. For one or two travellers, an Innova is a practical private option. However, guests who prefer a more premium arrival can request an Alphard.
Meanwhile, families and small groups can choose a Hiace or Hiace Premio. For larger parties, private buses are available. Therefore, a separate luggage van may also be recommended when baggage volume is high.
Arriving at The Apurva Kempinski Bali
The Apurva Kempinski Bali is located in the Sawangan area of Nusa Dua on Bali’s southern peninsula. If you arrive through I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), a pre-arranged private transfer can simplify the journey to the resort.
This is especially useful when travelling with children, several suitcases, VIP guests or a larger group. In addition, arranging the vehicle before arrival means your transport is already organised before you leave the airport.
Kura-Kura Bus can also arrange hotel departures, dinner transfers, event movements and customised group schedules. Because requirements vary, the final quotation depends on the date, vehicle type, passenger count, luggage volume and itinerary.
Private transfer vehicle options
Different travellers need different levels of comfort and space. For example, a couple with light luggage may only need an Innova, while VIP guests may prefer an Alphard.
On the other hand, families and small groups often benefit from the extra cabin space of a Hiace. Therefore, passenger numbers should always be considered together with luggage volume.
| Vehicle | Recommended passengers | Luggage arrangement | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Innova | 1–2 guests | Best for a small number of suitcases | Couples, solo travellers and small families |
| Toyota Alphard | 1–4 guests | Above 2 guests, a luggage van is recommended | VIP guests, luxury arrivals and executive travel |
| Toyota Hiace | 1–10 guests | Above 7 guests, a luggage van is recommended | Families and small groups |
| Hiace Premio | 1–10 guests | Above 7 guests, a luggage van is recommended | Premium family and group transfers |
| Hiace Premio Luxury | 1–7 guests | Above 5 guests, a luggage van is recommended | VIP groups and premium private transfers |
These recommendations are intended as practical planning guidance. However, final vehicle allocation may change depending on suitcase size, golf bags, special equipment or other baggage.

Add a mangrove experience to your Nusa Dua stay
A stay at The Apurva Kempinski Bali can also be combined with a short nature-based activity. For example, Kura-Kura Bus offers Mangrove Canoe and Mangrove SUP experiences in South Bali.
Both activities provide a different atmosphere from beaches, shopping and temple visits. Moreover, they can be fitted into a half-day plan while still leaving time to enjoy the resort.

Bali Mangrove Forest Canoeing Tour
Paddle through peaceful mangrove waterways with a guide. Because the route is gentle, this experience works well for couples, families and first-time paddlers.
In addition, the tour offers a quieter way to explore Bali’s natural environment.

Mangrove Stand Up Paddle
For guests who want something more active, SUP combines light exercise with a peaceful mangrove route. Meanwhile, beginners can join subject to operating and safety conditions.
Therefore, SUP is a good option for travellers who want both movement and nature.
Nusa Dua is currently included among the pickup areas for these mangrove experiences. However, operating times may change depending on tides, weather and availability.
