T

he Apurva Kempinski Bali, a jewel of Nusa Dua, has made its mark on the global stage, strengthening its reputation as a leader in sustainable luxury. On Nov. 7, the resort was honored with the Best Sustainable Hotel award at the 18th Ultimate Luxury Travel Related Awards (ULTRAs) in London.

This prestigious award, voted on by 28 million members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty program, recognizes the resort's dedication to combining luxury with sustainability. It underscores The Apurva Kempinski Bali's commitment to providing world-class hospitality while maintaining a deep respect for the environment, social and governance (ESG) principles.

Held at The State Apartments and The Orangery, Kensington Palace, the ULTRAs ceremony brought together some of the world's finest hotels, destinations, airlines and airports. Organized by Nick Perry, chairman of the multi-media brand Ultratravel, in collaboration with the Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) and its Ultratravel Collection, the ULTRAs is a highly anticipated annual event that celebrates the best of the best in global travel, making it a defining moment of excellence in the luxury travel industry.

At The Apurva Kempinski Bali, sustainability is not just a trend, but rather a core principle that guides every decision. The resort operates on four key pillars: guest intelligence, gastronomy, craftsmanship and culture. 

Each of these pillars is infused with sustainable practices that ensure guests receive an exceptional experience while minimizing the resort's environmental and social footprint. This commitment is evident in various initiatives such as hydroponic rooftop gardens that provide fresh ingredients for the resort's dining experiences, electric vehicle guest services that promote greener transportation and mangrove planting programs that protect Bali's marine ecosystems.

The resort's sustainability efforts extend beyond environmental measures. The Apurva Kempinski Bali is committed to making a positive impact on the local community.

Through its sustainable agriculture and educational development programs, the resort empowers local farmers and provides educational opportunities for youth, ensuring that Bali's future remains bright and prosperous. These programs align with the resort's broader vision of integrating sustainable growth with cultural preservation.

Every detail of The Apurva Kempinski Bali, from the architecture to the annual "Powerful Indonesia" campaign, celebrates Indonesia's rich heritage and ensures that guests experience not only luxury, but also the country's unique traditions.
