Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island announces the promotion of Budi Widodo to General Manager. With more than two decades of experience in luxury hospitality, Budi brings a wealth of knowledge and a passion for service excellence to his new role. He joined Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island in September 2023, and has taken the island to new levels with his management.
Budi's journey in hospitality began as a teenager working as a bartender and wine bar assistant. His career trajectory saw him take on various roles, including cruise ship butler and service captain, before transitioning into luxury hotels. In 2001, he became assistant restaurant manager at Park Lane Hotel in Jakarta, quickly advancing to head bar Manager. He further honed his skills at The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta and Hotel Mulia, Jakarta, before joining Four Seasons in 2010 as Food and Beverage Director at Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta.
His tenure with Four Seasons continued with significant positions at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa and the former Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai. In 2017, he was appointed Hotel Manager in Shanghai, a role that showcased his leadership and operational expertise, and then made a brief return to Ritz-Carlton as HM in Sanya, China.
Under his leadership, the resort has garnered acclaim, including being named the top resort in the Seychelles by Condé Nast Traveller UK Readers’ Choice Awards 2024. Budi attributes this success to the dedication of his team and their commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences. Most recently, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island won the Four Seasons Guest Loyalty Property Pinnacle Award for Europe, Middle East and Africa, showcasing the outstanding contribution day in day out by all the staff led by Budi. Other new beginnings saw the opening of AHI, the resort’s Japanese venue, where sensory East meets West dining experience in late 2024. Budi and the team currently have other exciting projects in the pipeline for the coming year that include areas in recreation, food and beverage.
Beyond is his passion about mentoring emerging talent in the hospitality industry and is deeply involved in the local community. In his personal time, Budi enjoys exploring new culinary experiences, attending music festivals, and indulging in his love for Formula 1 racing, jogging, cooking, and fishing.
