The hype
Visually stunning and grand, with a breakfast buffet that ruins all other buffets for you.
The Apurva Kempinski Bali
$250-450 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want to feel like royalty in a colossal, open-air water palace that dominates the Nusa Dua cliffside.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Jaw-dropping 'Majapahit Empire' architecture that feels more like a temple than a hotel
- Koral, the aquarium restaurant where you dine inside a fish tank
- The 60-meter main pool that looks straight out of a movie set
Stutt samantekt: It is absolutely massive and isolated, so bring your walking shoes and don't expect to stroll to a local convenience store.
Farið yfir af @serennetravel: We spent our evening on this terrace and the view of the resort lighting up was pure magic. Grabbing a drink here at dusk is an absolute must if you want to feel like royalty. Best romantic vibe ever.

Reality check
The sheer scale can be exhausting, and some rooms suffer from dampness or noisy air conditioning units.
- You love grand, theatrical luxury and photo ops around every corner
- You are traveling with kids who need a top-tier club and pool
- You want a self-contained resort world where you never have to leave
Hreinlæti og viðhald
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent twice-daily service, though some corners can be missed in such huge rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling marble, but watch out for occasional mineral staining in the toilets or showers.
- Maintenance: Mostly pristine, but the humid climate causes rapid wear—peeling paint or musty smells are occasional complaints.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, heavy thread count, replaced daily if requested.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of expensive lemongrass and spices; rooms can smell slightly damp if AC isn't running.

Áður en þú bókar
Gott að vita
- Download the resort app before arrival to book restaurants; Koral books out weeks in advance.
- The 'Departure Lounge' is a lifesaver for late flights, offering showers and rest areas.
- Grab/Gojek drivers are not allowed to pick up at the lobby; you have to walk to the main gate or use the hotel's expensive transport.
Hvað á að pakka
- Formal resort wear; this isn't a 'singlet and Bintang' kind of place
- Comfortable walking sandals for the long treks between breakfast and the beach
Herbergis-Genie
Bestu val
- Cliff Private Pool Junior Suite for the best ocean views and privacy
- Grand Deluxe Lagoon Room for direct pool access (great for families)
Herbergi til að forðast
- Standard Grand Deluxe rooms near the lobby if you want to avoid foot traffic noise
- Rooms in Building 1 if you want quick access to the beach (it's the furthest back)

“I would love a room in the Cliff tower on a higher floor for the best ocean views, away from the main elevators to minimize corridor noise. If possible, please check that the AC unit has been recently serviced for quiet operation.”
Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, but check your rate. If not, expect to pay around IDR 400,000++ ($30 USD) per person.
Can I walk to restaurants outside the hotel?
No. You are isolated on a cliff. The nearest outside dining requires a taxi ride.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, but it's tidal. The hotel provides a schedule for the best swimming times.
Is there a deposit at check-in?
Yes, a significant credit card hold is taken for incidentals, often around IDR 1-2 million per night.
Are kids allowed at the rooftop bar?
No, the Pala Rooftop Bar is generally adults-oriented in the evenings.
Do the private pools have heated water?
No, and they can get quite chilly in the shade or during the windy season.

5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The water from the shower filter can sometimes run with a yellowish tint due to local mineral content.
💡The 'ocean view' from some lower cliff rooms is mostly a view of the roof of the villa in front of you.
💡Humidity is a real battle; papers in your room might feel damp after a day.
💡The walk from the lobby to the beach involves a grand staircase that is beautiful but exhausting—take the elevator.
💡You can hear the nightly entertainment from the Reef Beach Club in the ocean-facing rooms until about 10 PM.
