The Apurva Kempinski Bali has claimed the title of ‘Best Sustainable Hotel’ at the 2024 ULTRAs Awards, a high-profile event held on 7 November at Kensington Palace in London. Selected by more than 28 million members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme, this recognition underscores the resort’s role as a global leader in sustainable luxury, blending high-end experiences with meaningful environmental and social efforts.
Every detail at The Apurva Kempinski Bali reflects its commitment to responsible luxury. Centred around four guiding principles—Guest Intelligence, Gastronomy, Craftsmanship, and Cultures—the resort has woven sustainable practices into its daily operations. This ethos extends to its eco-conscious initiatives, including waste management, a hydroponic rooftop garden, and a program to restore mangroves, all designed to minimise environmental impact while creating unforgettable guest experiences.
With its architectural nods to the ancient Majapahit kingdom and immersive cultural experiences, The Apurva Kempinski Bali highlights Indonesia’s rich heritage, adding a profound layer of cultural connection to its sustainable approach. Guests are invited to engage with the resort’s environmental initiatives, from electric vehicle tours to community-driven programmes focused on sustainable agriculture and education for the local community.
“Our focus has always been to redefine luxury with a sustainable mindset,” said Vincent Guironnet, General Manager of The Apurva Kempinski Bali. “This award motivates us to continue creating positive change while delivering exceptional experiences to our guests.”
As travellers increasingly seek destinations that blend luxury with responsibility, The Apurva Kempinski Bali is leading the way, showing how high standards of hospitality and environmental stewardship can come together seamlessly. This award not only acknowledges the resort’s dedication to sustainability but also reinforces its position as a model for the future of luxury travel—one that respects and uplifts the environment and communities it calls home.
