About The Apurva Kempinski Bali

The centrepiece is a grand staircase running the full height of the property, which is why almost every wedding photographed here includes the same shot of a couple standing at the top of it.
There are three chapels.
The Apurva Chapel sits on the oceanfront and takes up to 100.

Questions about the venue
What is the biggest wedding The Apurva Kempinski can hold?+
The Nusantara Presidential Villa is quoted at 150 seated on its outdoor deck and up to 400 standing across its 1,379 square metres. The resort also carries ballroom and garden space, so a 300-guest seated dinner is a realistic ask here.
How many chapels are there?+
Three. The oceanfront Apurva Chapel takes up to 100 guests. The Amala and Kimaya cliff chapels hold about 20 each and are used for elopements and legal blessings. All three face the Indian Ocean rather than inland.
Can our guests all stay at the resort?+
Almost certainly. With 475 rooms, suites and villas the property absorbs a very large room block without splitting the party across hotels, which is the main practical reason large Asian and Indian weddings choose Nusa Dua over the Bukit.
What does a wedding here cost?+
Kempinski quotes per event and publishes no rate card. On our estimate a 200-guest programme with rooms, catering, production and the chapel runs USD 90,000 to 220,000.
How far is Nusa Dua from the airport?+
Ngurah Rai International (DPS) is about 25 minutes north on the Bali Mandara toll road, roughly 14 km. It is one of the easiest transfers on the island and the toll road avoids the Kuta and Jimbaran traffic entirely.
What is Nusa Dua like as a place for guests?+
It is a gated resort corridor: safe, quiet, walkable between hotels, with a shopping and dining complex at its centre. There is very little independent Bali life inside the gates, so plan a day trip to Uluwatu or Ubud if your guests want more than beach and pool.
