A Luxe Escape at Apurva Kempinski

This time around, I decided to treat myself and splurge a little more on accommodation in Bali—and honestly, it was worth every cent. My first stop was The Apurva Kempinski, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the trip. The hotel is absolutely stunning and offers everything you could possibly need for a luxurious wellness escape. From a world-class spa and complimentary yoga sessions to renowned dining options, Apurva has it all. The entire property is a work of art, featuring breathtaking architecture and thoughtfully designed spaces. Every corner feels like a photo opportunity—you won’t even need to leave the hotel to capture beautiful memories. My room was spacious, warm, and inviting, with a cosy balcony perfect for unwinding while soaking in the view. You could easily spend two full days just relaxing at the hotel without ever feeling bored. Here’s what my stay at Apurva looked like: Day 1 – Arrival & Unwinding 1. I kicked off the stay with a deeply relaxing massage at Apurva Spa. Each guest gets a private treatment room, and the experience is enhanced with calming music and the soothing tones of a healing bowl. 2. Afterward, I enjoyed a quiet coffee at the lobby lounge, taking in the breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. 3. Dinner was at the hotel’s famous Koral Restaurant, which offers an unforgettable underwater dining experience—an absolute must-try. Day 2 – Wellness & Exploration 1. I started the morning with a 7am yoga session, which was the perfect way to ease into the day. 2. Followed it up with a workout at the gym—well-equipped and conveniently located. 3. After that, I relaxed in the gym’s sauna and jacuzzi to soothe my muscles. 4. Then came a hearty breakfast and coffee to refuel. 5. Later in the day, I joined a unique numerology activity where a guide helped read my "numbers" and offered insights into my personal growth and life path—it was surprisingly insightful! Day 3 – Routine, but Make it Relaxing 1. Another 7am yoga session to start the day right. 2. A second round at the gym followed by time in the sauna and jacuzzi. 3. Enjoyed another leisurely breakfast and coffee. 4. Wrapped up the stay with lunch at Izakaya by OKU, a stylish spot serving elevated Japanese cuisine. If you want a luxurious escape, this hotel is the place to stay!
