About The Apurva Kempinski Bali
The Apurva Kempinski is the grand theatre of Nusa Dua — a cliffside resort built like an amphitheatre stepping down to the beach, 475 rooms and villas, and a scale of ballroom and lawn that has made it a favourite for large Indian weddings in Bali since it opened. The registry carries no capacity figure; the chart is the first request.
Panigrahana designs the Apurva for its axis — the grand staircase and the sea beyond — with the mandap on the beach lawn and the ballroom for a spectacular sangeet.
