The Apurva Kempinski Bali Asia/Yidu

Aptly sitting on the bold blue shores of the Island of the Gods and designed by award-winning architect, Budiman Hendropurnomo, The Apurva Kempinski Bali’s opulence has to be seen to be believed. Enter a world of shrines and gods, where famous Balinese temples inspire grand 250-flight staircases and private pool suites run tiered down a cliff face, reflecting the country’s iconic terraced rice fields.

The Creation –The birth child of an award-winning architect and a highly-acclaimed interior designer

Air, ether, fire, water, earth: these are the five Balinese-inspired elements that weave through the dramatic and striking architecture of The Apurva Kempinski Bali. Bodies of water adorn the lobby, lush greenery fills every crevice, lavish suites are embedded into a natural cliffside, and ultra-high ceilings frame a breezy, open-air lobby.

The man behind the grand, yet unique, design is highly-acclaimed Rudi Dodo; who pieced together exotic warm woods, rich materials, grand artworks and a renowned carved partition from Java to create a designer masterpiece that stuns from top to bottom. Perched on a majestic cliff overlooking the sparkle of the Indian Ocean, you’ll experience a five-star sanctuary that embodies Balinese elegance in every way.
