Complementing Kempinski’s existing beachfront hotel in Nusa Dua, the latest addition to the brand’s Southeast Asian portfolio will be The Apurva Kempinski Ubud. Slated to open in 2027 the hilltop hideaway will take prime position on a south-facing ridge overlooking an expanse of green in central Bali and will be located close to the rice terraces and coffee plantations of Tegalalang village. Like its sister property, the architecture and interiors of the property will be led by Rudy Dodo of Jakarta-based studio Trivium Design Group. 160 rooms and villas will cascade down the jungle-covered slopes around an open-sided lobby lounge.
At the heart of the resort, a tropical aviary will provide sanctuary for a menagerie of exotic birdlife from Indonesia and beyond. Guests will enjoy postcard-perfect views from the infinity pool, while a rooftop lounge and bar will provide the ideal setting to witness stunning sunsets over the jungle. At the resort’s specialty restaurant, panoramic vistas will be complemented by a menu celebrating the diversity of Indonesian cuisine. The resort will also house a Balinese spa, nestled at the end of the ridge overlooking the verdant valley, offering a wide range of rejuvenating treatments and immersive wellness journeys.
