Kempinski Hotels is adding another property in Bali, revealing plans this week for an all-new hotel in Ubud. The Apurva Kempinski Ubud, Bali will be a hilltop hideaway, near the rice terraces and coffee plantations of Tegalang village.
The Apurva Kempinski Ubud will comprise 160 rooms and villas that will cascade down the jungle-covered slopes around a magnificent open-sided lobby lounge where guests will be immersed in Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. Accommodation includes spacious rooms and suites starting from 60 square metres, panoramic Cliff Villas complete with outdoor decks and private pools seamlessly integrated into the natural surroundings, and six spectacular 200-square-metre Villas nestled in the forest.

Guests will experience vistas from an infinity pool, while a rooftop lounge and bar provide the perfect setting to witness stunning sunsets over the jungle.
The resort will also offer a serene Balinese spa with a wide range of rejuvenating treatments and immersive wellness journeys, nestled at the end of the ridge overlooking the verdant valley beyond.
When it opens in 2027, The Apurva Kempinski Ubud will become the second Kempinski resort in Bali, following the successful opening of The Apurva Kempinski Bali in 2019. It will also be the third management agreement signed, following last year’s announcement for The Apurva Kempinski Lombok, which will also open in 2027. Like its sister property in Nusa Dua, the hotel’s interior design will be led by Rudy Dodo of Jakarta-based studio Trivium Design Group, who also assumes responsibility for the architectural design for this latest project.
Bernold Schroeder, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, Kempinski Group said: “With this new addition to our Indonesian portfolio, we will offer travellers two distinct Balinese experiences, combining beachfront bliss in Nusa Dua with a serene hillside escape in the heart of Ubud, both underpinned by the warmth and generosity of Balinese hospitality.”
