Plataran Borobudur Brings Indonesian Hospitality to the Forefront of Asia Pacific Luxury Travel

Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa has been named among Indonesia’s Best Upcountry Hotels in the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026, a recognition that highlights the resort’s growing reputation as one of Indonesia’s leading destinations for culture, wellness, and hospitality. The annual Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific celebrate exceptional hotels, resorts, destinations, and travel experiences across the region.

The recognition places Plataran Borobudur alongside some of the most respected hospitality brands in Asia Pacific and highlights the resort’s ability to present a distinctly Indonesian hospitality experience to a global audience. Notably, Plataran Borobudur is the only property outside Bali to be included in this year’s list, highlighting both the rising appeal of Borobudur as a luxury destination and the resort itself as one of Indonesia’s most exceptional retreats.

Located within the Borobudur area, Plataran Borobudur is among the few hospitality destinations offering direct views of the Borobudur Temple alongside the Menoreh Hills. The resort has established itself as a destination where hospitality, culture, wellness, and local experiences come together within one stay. The resort offers private villas, wellness programmes, curated cultural encounters, and signature dining experiences that reflect the richness of Central Java while providing guests with a deeper appreciation of the destination.

Beyond its villas and dining experiences, Plataran Borobudur offers a collection of activities that reflect the character of the destination itself. From sunrise experiences overlooking Borobudur and wellness programmes inspired by local traditions to cultural encounters and community initiatives, the resort presents Borobudur through multiple perspectives. These experiences also reflect HOPE (Home of Peaceful Escape), Plataran’s hospitality approach that brings together wellness, culture, nature, and curated experiences within a single stay.

The recognition adds to a growing list of international accolades received by Plataran properties, including Michelin Key recognition, Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best, Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence, and Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards. Together, these achievements continue to strengthen Plataran’s position as Indonesia’s leading homegrown hospitality brand on the international stage. “Plataran Borobudur represents one of Indonesia’s true treasures: a destination where nature, culture, and community come together in a deeply authentic and meaningful way. We are honored to share this extraordinary sense of place with the world, creating experiences that not only showcase the richness of Indonesia but also celebrate the spirit, beauty, and heritage of Indonesia on the global stage,” said Yozua Makes, Founder and CEO of Plataran Indonesia.

The recognition from Travel + Leisure underscores Plataran Borobudur’s continued role in presenting Indonesia through hospitality, culture, and wellness. Through experiences inspired by the character of Borobudur itself, the resort continues to welcome travellers seeking a deeper connection with one of the country’s most significant destinations.
