Marriott Bonvoy Launches “Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors” — Where Every Stay Begins with Adventure
JAKARTA, INDONESIA, 27 October 2025 — The day begins with a climb — a bike gliding up a grassy slope, the morning light filtering through mist like gossamer, and the distant silhouettes of children chasing one another along the ridge. Far beyond, a turquoise lake mirrors the sky. These are the kinds of moments that remind travelers why they venture — not merely to see the world, but to feel it breathe around them.
This is the spirit of Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors, a new global initiative by Marriott Bonvoy TM Marriott International’s award-winning travel program, that connects travelers to the world’s most inspiring outdoor experiences. Built on the promise to bring members closer to the passions and places that move them, the program celebrates destinations where nature is not just a backdrop, but a companion — one that shapes every step and evokes every sense of wonder.
Launched globally on 30 September 2025, Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors opens a gateway to adventure across continents. In Indonesia and Malaysia, nine remarkable hotels and resorts have been chosen to lead the way — each inviting guests to step outside and rediscover the world with fresh eyes, open spaces, and endless horizons. “Across Indonesia and Malaysia, travelers are increasingly drawn to experiences that allow them to reconnect – with nature, with others, and with themselves,” said Ramesh Jackson, Regional Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International. “Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors celebrates this spirit of discovery by curating stays that are deeply rooted in the beauty and culture of each destination. Whether it’s hiking through Ubud’s lush valleys or exploring the mangroves of Langkawi, our hotels are perfectly positioned to help travelers find inspiration in every journey.”

Just steps away from the pristine Nusa Dua Beach, Courtvard by Marriott Bali Nusa Dua Resort hums to the lull of the tide. Morning light shimmers on gentle waves and the sea breeze brings with it the promise of discovery. Guests can wander barefoot along soft sands, cycle beneath swaying palms, or dive into waters that glisten like glass — it is where Bali’s coastal spirit feels as alive as the ocean itself. Beyond the beach, curated outdoor activities include sunrise yoga by the shore, guided cycling tours through the coastal enclave, and easy access to the nearby Geger Beach.
In Ubud, the forest gently exhales. Mist sifts through the trees and settles over lush rice terraces, where Element Bali Ubudrests as a haven of calm and peace. Here, nature and design exist in quiet harmony — travelers rise with the call of birds, trace jungle paths dapple in sunlight, and find balance in motion. Surrounded by the captivating landscapes of Ubud, guests can embark on morning walks through dew-soaked fields of Tegalalang Rice Terraces with a local guide, cycle to nearby waterfalls, or participate in guided eco-tours that reveal the area’s hidden sanctuaries like Ubud Monkey Forest, home to ancient temples and hundreds of long-tailed macaques.
Nestled in the heart of Bali’s sacred valley, Mandapa, a RitzCarlton Reserve, is where time slows. The majestic Ayung River flows like a living heartbeat, its current beckoning guests toward adventure — rafting through and wandering beneath canopies alive with cicadas or meditating at ancient shrines. The resort’s curated experiences invite guests to explore Ubud’s wilderness with local guides, blending adrenaline with serenity. Guests will be picked up from their resort in a convertible Volkswagen 181, enjoying a scenic drive through the picturesque villages and rice paddies of Ubud before the rafting experience begins. The adventure concludes at the private Mandapa jetty, where guests can indulge in a Mepijet massage, a traditional Balinese oil massage that combines relaxing strokes and acupressure. At Mandapa, nature is a muse and a teacher, its lessons whispered in every breath.
Framed by the hills of Ubud, guests begin the day with yoga on open terraces at The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud, Bali; the forest’s rhythm pulsing softly beneath their feet. Guests can immerse themselves in guided morning runs through scenic trails, explore the village’s lush surroundings by bicycle, or visit cascading waterfalls tucked amid the jungle. Every experience — from open-air yoga to nature treks — reminds guests that wellness is an act of balance and renewal.
TA’AKTANA, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Labuan Baio, stands like a story carved between tides and time. The horizon feels infinite here — guests can set sail across the Flores Sea to Komodo National Park, snorkel through coral gardens alive with color, or hike to the summit for a panoramic sunrise. With its name derived from the local Manggaraian word meaning “green land”, the resort invites travelers to reconnect with nature’s vastness and mystery, eagerly waiting to be uncovered by the explorer.
On the golden curve of Lombok’s coast, Sheraton Senqqiqi Beach Resort opens to the dance of waves and the scent of salt in the air. The sea is a constant friend — cheeky in the morning, serene by dusk. Guests can snorkel in crystalline lagoons, explore nearby waterfalls in the northern highlands, take a leisurely sunset stroll along Senggigi’s curving beach, or simply watch the world slow down — ardent proof that sometimes, paradise is found in stillness. Complementing these experiences is the resort’s heartfelt Turtle Release program, where guests can take part in releasing baby sea turtles to the ocean — an inspiring activity that supports marine life conservation and reflects Sheraton Senggigi’s deep commitment to sustainability and meaningful guest experiences.
NatraBintan a Tribute Portfolio Resort, the outdoors takes on a playful energy. Set amid tropical foliage and a shimmering crystal lagoon, this glamping haven invites guests to embrace the spirit of adventure — from paddle boarding and kayaking across the lagoon to ziplines, bumper boats, and starlit cinema nights. The resort’s unique mélange of comfort and curiosity turns every moment into an effortless encounter with nature’s joy.
MALAYSIA
Here, where the rainforest meets the Andaman Sea, The St. ReqisLanqkawi rises from the shoreline in quiet harmony with its natural surroundings. Guests can explore Langkawi’s UNESCO Global Geoparkon guided mangrove tours, where eagles soar overhead and the water shimmers like glass beneath towering limestone cliffs. Each experience unveils a different facet of the island — tranquil, untamed, and eternally beautiful — while the resort’s private beachfront offers a front-row seat to nature’s unfolding symphony.
Deep in the heart of Sarawak, Mulu Marriott Resort & Spa rests beside the UNESCO World Heritage—listed Gununq Mulu National Park — a natural wonderland of vast caves, winding rivers, and dramatic limestone pinnacles. Guests can trek along rainforest trails alive with birdsong, explore the legendary Deer Cave and Lang’s Cave, or traverse the world’s longest canopy skywalk, suspended high among the treetops. Every step is an invitation into the wild — humbling, exhilarating, and a powerful reminder of nature’s scale and grandeur.
From Bali’s sun-drenched beaches to Borneo’s shadowed jungles, Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors in Indonesia and Malaysia captures travel at its most elemental — these are places where travelers don’t just see nature; they commune with it, learn from it, and leave a little changed.
