Meliá Hotels International has signed a management agreement for Meliá Sentul Resort & Convention Center, a new five-star hotel under development in Sentul, West Java, Indonesia.
Scheduled to open in 2028, the property will operate under the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, becoming the group’s seventh hotel in Indonesia and its first in Sentul.
Sentul is located around one hour by road from Jakarta and has developed as a leisure and lifestyle destination for residents of the capital. Situated within Bogor Regency, the area is characterised by green hills, a cooler climate and access to outdoor and family-oriented attractions, including hiking routes, waterfalls, the Sentul International Circuit and JungleLand Adventure Theme Park.
The area has also grown as a residential and business district, supported by proximity to the Sentul International Convention Center, established road networks and ongoing urban and transit-oriented developments.
The hotel is planned to include multiple dining venues, a rooftop bar, lounge areas, an outdoor swimming pool, gym and spa facilities. Family-focused amenities will include a dedicated kids’ club.
For meetings and events, the property will offer a ballroom measuring 1,160m² and 15 meeting rooms with a combined area of 1,640m².
The project forms part of Meliá Hotels International’s continued expansion in Indonesia and builds on its long-term partnership with Saraswanti Group, which has worked with Meliá since 2013 on INNSiDE by Meliá Yogyakarta.
Ignacio Martín, managing director Asia Pacific, Meliá Hotels International, said: “Sentul’s proximity to Jakarta, combined with its natural setting and expanding infrastructure, makes it a compelling destination for both leisure and corporate travel. We are delighted to be expanding alongside our trusted partners and bringing the Meliá brand to this fast-growing area.”
“Meliá Hotels International is widely recognised 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,” added Bogat Agus Riyono, COO of the Saraswanti Group’s property division.
