HOLISTIC WELLNESS
Inspired by a 2,000-year-old tradition, the award-winning Apurva Spa is renowned for its holistic wellness and beauty programme. From a bespoke multi-day spa journey to a face treatment, it lives by the philosophy in which true beauty is achieved when outer beauty is in harmony with its inner one. Highlights include Awakening the Chakra Spirit, curated treatments using a myriad of essences, oils and scrubs, and healing rituals. Experience Kalimantan’s Batimung Mask, sandalwood-inspired oil and scrub treatments from Nusa Tenggara, Javanese Lulur Mangir’s body scrub ritual, and many more during 2022.
THE ART OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
A bi-monthly exhibition will be displayed at designated places across the resort, showcasing the outstanding craftsmanship of Indonesia’s prominent fashion designers. Asha Smara Darra,
Era Soekamto and Franklin Firdaus will display their creations exclusively at The Apurva Kempinski Bali. The exhibition starts with the talented Torang Sitorus, whose extensive knowledge of Sumatra’s textiles and highly-coveted creations with traditional ulos fabric, can be seen in the resort throughout February and March.
STORYTELLING AND GAMES
Take the little ones to rediscover their roots through entertaining and educational programmes at Jalak Family Club.
