 UNDERWATER DINING IN KORAL RESTAURANT, BALI

Koral Restaurant is a restaurant with a concept where the main room is under a saltwater pool that is equipped with various beautiful coral reefs and a variety of beautiful marine fish. This restaurant is located within the complex of The Apurva Kempinski Bali, a five-star resort that is located at the end of a small hill in the elite area of Nusa Dua. This dining venue is also the first to carry the concept of underwater dining in Bali, and the second in Southeast Asia after The Ocean Restaurant Singapore.

Similar to the other Apurva Kempinski Bali (which opened in the upscale Nusa Dua Bali area in February 2019) Koral took the inspiration design from the tropical characteristics of Bali and the majestic Majapahit empire, which brought prosperity to the whole of Indonesia from the 13th to the 16th centuries.

In the Inside, teak ceilings and walls made of traditional red clay bricks (Majapahit royal building blocks) frame aquamarine views through windows and underneath, elegant and popular black and white tile tiles in the palace further add to the historic impression grandeur. Outside the aquarium window and other world glass-roofed tunnels, tropical fish spin in a kaleidoscope of color, creating a stunning backdrop for the spectacular cuisine that awaits.
