The five‑star development reinforces the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in key destinations across Southeast Asia.


Meliá Hotels International, Spain's leading hotel company and a global benchmark in leisure hospitality, has signed a new management agreement for Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center, a newly built five‑star hotel in Sentul, West Java, Indonesia. Scheduled to open in 2028, the property will operate under the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, marking the company's seventh hotel in Indonesia and its first in Sentul.


Located just an hour's drive from Jakarta, Sentul has emerged as a popular lifestyle and leisure destination for the capital's residents, known for its cooler climate, lush green hills, and growing range of recreational activities. Situated in the Bogor Regency of West Java, the area combines natural beauty with modern infrastructure, offering scenic hiking trails, nearby waterfalls, and family‑friendly attractions such as the Sentul International Circuit and JungleLand Adventure Theme Park, one of Indonesia's largest amusement parks.


Sentul has also gained momentum as a growing residential and business hub, with close proximity to the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), excellent road connectivity, and ongoing urban and transit-oriented developments.


Guests will enjoy a comprehensive range of dining, leisure, and wellness experiences, including an all‑day dining restaurant, specialty dining venues, a chic rooftop bar, and a relaxed lounge area. The hotel will also feature an outdoor pool, fully equipped gym, and spa. Families will find dedicated spaces such as the Kids Club, designed to make every stay seamless and enjoyable for travelers of all ages.


Complementing its leisure offering, the resort will also feature impressive meeting and event facilities, including a 1,160 m² ballroom and 15 versatile meeting rooms adding up to 1,640 m², positioning the property as one of the region's leading destinations for corporate gatherings, conferences, and special celebrations. Together, these offerings create a perfect balance between business and leisure, set against the natural beauty and urban charm of Sentul.


Strengthening Meliá's presence in Indonesia

We are delighted to be expanding alongside our trusted partners and bringing the Meliá brand to this fast-growing area."


With this new signing, Meliá Hotels International continues to deepen its commitment to Indonesia, bringing its renowned Mediterranean warmth and service excellence to one of West Java's most dynamic and naturally captivating areas.


At the same occasion, Noegroho Hari Hardono, Chief Executive Officer of the Saraswanti Group, expressed his appreciation to Meliá Hotels International for the trust and commitment demonstrated in this collaboration. He noted that the partnership reflects a shared vision between Saraswanti and Meliá in delivering internationally benchmarked property developments and creating long-term value for all stakeholders.


“Meliá Hotels International is widely recognized for its strong global reputation and proven management expertise across various international markets. We are confident that this collaboration will create meaningful value for the partnership as a whole and further reinforce Saraswanti's standing in the property sector," said Bogat Agus Riyono, Chief Operating Officer of the Property Division of the Saraswanti Group.


This agreement further strengthens the company's long‑standing relationship with its strategic partner Saraswanti Group, owners of INNSiDE by Meliá Yogyakarta since 2013, which is also managed by the group. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to long-term, sustainable growth and the development of elevated hospitality in key destinations across Indonesia.​ - Read moore hereHotel Management Global Outlook Link
