The Apurv
Grand-scale Indonesian luxury resort with monumental open-air architecture, Balinese heritage design, and a polished modern-meets-classic interior palette. Feels more urban and refined than typical tropical retreat — think sweeping stone corridors, dark wood, and high-gloss surfaces rather than thatched roofs and rattan.
Request a higher floor in the Cliff Suite buildings for better ocean views; lower floors can have foliage blocking sightlines
Why It Matters
Home to Bali's first aquarium restaurant (Koral), winner of Global Hotel of the Year 2020 (World Luxury Hotel Awards), and Indonesia's first GSTC-certified hotel. Designed by award-winning architect Budiman Hendropurnomo of Denton Corker Marshall with interiors by Rudy Dodo of Trivium Design Group.
This is a genuinely big resort — 465 rooms, suites, and villas terraced down a cliff above Nusa Dua Beach — and the scale is a feature, not a bug. The architecture takes its cues from an Indonesian open-air amphitheatre, with soaring open-air corridors, intricate carvings, and a hillside layout that funnels everything toward the Indian Ocean. Named from the Sanskrit word for 'unique' or 'incomparable,' the property opened in 2019 and has racked up serious accolades since, including Global Overall Hotel of the Year 2020 from the World Luxury Hotel Awards and the distinction of being Indonesia's first GSTC-certified hotel. Koral, the resort's showstopping aquarium restaurant, alone makes this a destination worth planning around.
