Opening on a stunning coastline of South Sumatra, Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa invites travellers to explore this up-and-coming destination filled with natural wonders, exotic wildlife and its own unique culture. The new resort is set to entice visitors to the region, promising comfort and five-star services during their stay.
Lampung, on the southern most tip of Sumatra, is only a 30-minute flight from Jakarta and is surprisingly not yet on the mainstream travel itinerary. It is revered for its nature-based experiences, perhaps best known as the home to the fiery active volcano, Krakatau. But there is much to see in the region, with its surrounding nature reserves presenting opportunities for hiking, bird-watching and seeing wildlife. The mountainous, forested Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park is home to endangered species such as elephants and Sumatran tigers; whilst Way Kambas National Park presents unique swamp and lowland forest environments to explore.
Elevating the accommodation options in the region, the new Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa offers a sophisticated stay, comprised of 154 rooms and suites, each with ocean-view balconies, and eight one- and two-bedroom villas. The five-star destination is ensconced between forested hillsides and pristine beachfront, becoming a real retreat into nature, whilst celebrating Indonesian culture through design and use of traditional textiles.
The resort features four room categories designed especially for families, complete with an additional bed for a child. These rooms boast four unique design themes: Magical Forest, Oceanic Adventure, Celestial Voyage and Rockstar Retreat. Each theme is crafted to provide a stimulating and immersive environment that encourages creativity, promotes learning, and ensures comfort. Additionally, the hotel provides a Kids Club equipped with various facilities and programs.
The property’s open-air lobby lounge, The Greatroom, boasts incredible ocean views and serves as the heart of Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa, with the featured Kalpataru Tree, or Tree of Life, as the welcoming centre piece. The resort features numerous dining venues, including all-day dining restaurant Hara at The Hurun, serving local and international cuisine. Way Manom serves modern Indonesian cuisine along the stunning beachfront, whilst Anonna, a café and Grab-and-Go outlet offers great brews and all-day gourmet pastries.
Other guests facilities in the resort include the 24-hour fitness centre and Quan Spa, complete with steam room, sauna and an invigorating ice bath at the ice fountain. Guests can explore a mini zoo within the resort area offering a glimpse of the exotic local fauna, including deer, peacocks, rainbow lorikeets, great hornbills, parrots and cockatoos.
Accommodating for large events, Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa also features the expansive, 1,200sqm Sthana Balroom, with a ceiling design inspired by the intricate layered Javanese Tumpang Sari, and can hold up to 1,200 guests. The ballroom is complemented by a spacious outdoor garden area, suitable for weddings and other social functions, elevating the resort’s event offerings. For business visitors, there are five meeting rooms with flexible setups that can accommodate up to 200 attendees each, from banquet to theatre arrangements. Each is equipped with state-of-the-art AV technology and offer expansive pre-function areas, ensuring seamless transitions and ample space for networking or breakout sessions before and after events.
“With spaces to connect, work, or unwind, coupled with heartfelt service reflecting the brand’s legacy of wonderful hospitality, we aim to make Lampung a must- see destination for domestic and international travelers alike,” says Ramesh Jackson, Area Vice President at Marriott International, Indonesia & Malaysia. “True to the brand’s time-tested legacy of heartfelt hospitality, Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa is set to welcome guests with inviting design, elevated stays, enriching experiences and exceptional service, making it an ideal accommodation for those seeking the essence of work, relaxation and exploration,” adds Caitie Lee, General Manager of Lampung Marriott Resort & Spa.
