BALI, Indonesia, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Apurva Kempinski Bali unveils its 2022 brand campaign entitled ‘Unity in Diversity’ – a celebration of the rich cultural diversity, heritage and philosophy of Indonesia’s seven main regions: Sumatra, Java, Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua.

Everything at The Apurva Kempinski Bali has been carefully curated to celebrate the culture, heritage and philosophy of Indonesia: modern Balinese architecture pays homage to the island’s natural landscapes and manmade temples; opulent interior spaces created by Indonesia’s finest craftsmen and artisans pay tribute to the country’s rich design heritage; and the diverse talents of a multicultural team offer guests a warm and generous welcome, showcasing the best of Indonesian hospitality.
