Oceanfront glass wedding chapel at a luxury resort

Apurva Chapel is the signature wedding chapel at The Apurva Kempinski Bali, set on the southern coast of Nusa Dua at Sawangan. It is a glass-fronted structure with tall bamboo forms drawn from a traditional Sulawesi house, and it sits low over water and lawn so the altar looks straight out to the Indian Ocean. Of the resort’s three chapels, this is the large one, seating around 100 guests for a full ceremony.
The chapel is air-conditioned and filled with daylight through its glass front, which suits a formal seated ceremony in the middle of the day without the heat. Just beside it, the Nusantara Presidential Villa gives you a private base with two infinity pools for bridal preparation, first-look photos, or a smaller reception close to the ceremony.
We plan weddings at Apurva Chapel for couples who want a resort that handles the whole day: chapel ceremony, ocean-facing lawn or ballroom for the reception, and a catering and styling team already on site. The resort quotes weddings per event, and we reconfirm the current chapel, catering, and package figures with them for your date.
Key details
Why we love it
Bamboo and glass over the ocean
The chapel is a glass-fronted structure with soaring bamboo forms, designed in reference to a traditional Sulawesi house. The altar faces the Indian Ocean, so the sea is your backdrop as you exchange vows.
The resort's main wedding chapel
This is the largest of the resort's three chapels, seating around 100 guests, which makes it the choice for a full ceremony rather than a small intimate one. The two Amala and Kimaya cliff chapels handle the smaller gatherings.
A presidential villa alongside
Apurva Chapel connects to the Nusantara Presidential Villa, a three-bedroom villa with two infinity pools that couples use for bridal preparation or an intimate reception close to the chapel.

Common questions
How many guests can Apurva Chapel seat?+

It sits within The Apurva Kempinski Bali on the southern Nusa Dua coast at Sawangan, about 20 to 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport. The resort is built down a hillside to the beach, and the chapel is on the oceanfront.
Can we hold the reception at the resort too?+
Yes. The resort has an ocean-facing lawn beside the chapel, ballroom space, and the adjoining Nusantara Presidential Villa, so a ceremony and reception can run in one place. We confirm venue combinations and pricing per wedding.
What does a wedding here cost?+
The Apurva Kempinski quotes weddings per event based on the chapel, guest count, catering, and styling. We reconfirm current package figures with the resort for your date.
