Bali｜Kempinski Life Island Hotel, Highly Recommended for Group Photos with Sunshine, Beach, and Ocean Family Portraits

【The Apurva Kempinski Bali】

This is not just a hotel, it’s a Bali dream 🤩
Perched on the cliffs of Nusa Dua, the Kempinski Bali feels like stepping into a palace the moment you enter—built along the mountainside, with a 20-meter-high lobby, stone carvings, and fountains that weave the elegance of a traditional Balinese royal palace.

All rooms are suites, including private pool villas, sea view balconies, and Lagoon Rooms with direct pool access. It’s so luxurious you might want to start an Instagram account just to post its photos. This place is not just for relaxation but a truly prestigious experience. From dining to spa, every corner perfectly blends Indonesian culture with modern design, making it a paradise for couples on honeymoon, family celebrations, and social media enthusiasts.

Unlike the lively AYANA, Kempinski has fewer photo-happy influencers and more genuine European and American travelers truly relaxing on vacation. You’ll see many families reading by the pool, zoning out, or swimming with focus, creating a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere 💛 Highly recommended for those who love quietly watching the sea and zoning out!

【Travel Tips】
📍 Address: Nusa Dua, Bali (light traffic, about 30 minutes from the airport, perfect for the end of your trip!)
🕒 Stay Duration: At least 2 nights to fully enjoy the facilities and hotel restaurants
📅 Season: Dry season from April to October is best for beautiful photos and avoiding rain
🌟 How to Enjoy:
1. Pick a morning and hire a local photographer (IG @kamiphotofamily) for a family portrait 💛 Dress code is a must!!!
2. Spend the whole day at the hotel enjoying the private beach, pool, and activities—especially great for those who want to avoid too much sun! The private beach has plenty of clean loungers with personal umbrellas, which is fantastic.
3. Dine at Pala Restaurant & Rooftop Bar in the evening—start with Indonesian/Indian cuisine on the first floor, then head to the open-air rooftop for dessert, drinks, and chatting while enjoying the cool sea breeze at night. It’s truly wonderful!
