Amala & Kimaya Cliff Chapels by The Apurva Kempinski Bali
Ocean-view glass cliff chapels at a luxury resort
Photos: The Apurva Kempinski Bali
Amala and Kimaya are the two small cliff chapels at The Apurva Kempinski Bali, set into the resort’s cliffside building above the Indian Ocean at Sawangan. Both are glass chapels, so the sea fills the wall behind the altar and the daylight carries the room. Each seats around 20 guests, which places them firmly in elopement and close-family territory rather than large ceremonies.
The two rooms are similar in size and feel, and the resort assigns one based on your date. Some planners group them together as the cliff chapel option. They sit below the larger oceanfront Apurva Chapel in both scale and price, so they are the practical choice when your guest list is short and you want the drama of the cliff without booking a big room.
We plan Amala and Kimaya weddings for couples who want a very small ceremony at a full resort. After the vows you can move to a private villa dinner, a beach setup, or a garden reception within the same property. The resort quotes these chapels per event, and we reconfirm the current figures with them for your day.
Key details
Why we love it
Built for a small guest list
Each chapel seats around 20 people, so they suit an elopement or a close-family wedding rather than a large ceremony. If you want just parents, siblings, and a few friends, these are the rooms for it.
Glass walls on the cliff
Both Amala and Kimaya are glass chapels set in the resort's cliffside building, with the Indian Ocean filling the wall behind the altar. The light and the sea view do the work, so heavy styling is not needed.
Part of a full resort
The chapels sit inside The Apurva Kempinski Bali, so a small ceremony can carry on to a private dinner, a villa reception, or a beach setup within the same property.

Common questions
How many guests fit in Amala or Kimaya chapel?+
Each chapel seats around 20 guests. They are the resort's intimate cliff chapels, used for elopements and small family ceremonies. For a larger seated ceremony, the resort's oceanfront Apurva Chapel holds around 100. We confirm the exact figure per chapel with the resort.
What is the difference between Amala and Kimaya?+
They are two separate small glass cliff chapels at the same resort, similar in size and style, both with Indian Ocean views. The resort assigns one based on availability for your date, and some planners package them together as the cliff chapel option.
Where are the chapels?+
They are within The Apurva Kempinski Bali on the southern Nusa Dua coast at Sawangan, roughly 20 to 30 minutes from the airport, set into the cliffside above the beach.
Can we hold a reception after the ceremony?+
Yes. Because the chapels sit inside a full resort, you can move to a private villa dinner, a beach setup, or a garden reception. We confirm venue combinations and pricing per wedding.
