Jakarta, August 2026 – Scheduled to open its doors in Q4 2026, Manado Marriott Resort & Spa is set to introduce Marriott Hotels’ brand signature hospitality to North Sulawesi as the region’s first internationally branded beachfront resort. Located in one of Indonesia’s Super Priority Tourism Destinations, Paputungan, Likupang, the resort marks an important milestone in the province’s tourism development, inviting travelers to discover a destination that extends far beyond the world-renowned reefs of Bunaken National Marine Park through its vibrant culture, rich culinary traditions, and extraordinary natural landscapes.
As global travelers increasingly seek destinations that combine authentic cultural experiences with meaningful connections to nature, North Sulawesi is emerging as one of Indonesia’s most compelling frontiers. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, volcanic highlands, lush tropical forests, and centuries-old Minahasan traditions, the province offers an extraordinary diversity of experiences waiting to be explored. Positioned approximately one hour from Sam Ratulangi International Airport and just 50 kilometers from Manado city, Manado Marriott Resort & Spa serves as the ideal gateway for travelers seeking to experience the region through the comfort, service, and trusted hospitality synonymous with Marriott Hotels’ brand.
Situated within the heart of the Coral Triangle, North Sulawesi is home to one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems. Just beyond the resort lies Bunaken National Marine Park, internationally recognized for its spectacular underwater biodiversity, dramatic coral walls descending to depths of up to 50 meters, vibrant coral gardens, and thriving marine life, including green sea turtles and hundreds of tropical fish species. Guests can spend their days embarking on sunrise boat excursions, diving into world-class scuba diving, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or discovering the quieter beaches and untouched coastal scenery surrounding Likupang.
Yet the destination’s appeal reaches well beyond its celebrated coastline. North Sulawesi is equally defined by the enduring traditions of the Minahasan people, whose rich cultural heritage continues to shape the region’s identity today. From the powerful Kabasaran warrior dance and generations-old artisanal craftsmanship to vibrant local markets and bold culinary traditions influenced by the historic spice trade, the destination offers visitors an immersive journey into one of Indonesia’s most distinctive cultural landscapes.
These authentic influences are thoughtfully reflected throughout the guest experience at Manado Marriott Resort & Spa. Designed with modern coastal interiors, natural textures, and expansive ocean views, the resort creates a seamless connection between contemporary comfort and its surrounding environment. More than a beachfront retreat, the property has been envisioned as a living gateway to North Sulawesi, encouraging guests to experience the destination through locally inspired dining, curated cultural encounters, holistic wellness experiences, and meaningful connections with the surrounding community.
Featuring 344 thoughtfully appointed guestrooms, suites, and private villas, the resort will be complemented by multiple dining venues, extensive meeting and event facilities, wellness experiences, and direct access to Likupang’s pristine coastline. Whether traveling for leisure, family holidays, destination celebrations, or corporate retreats, guests will enjoy a sophisticated base from which to discover one of Indonesia’s fastest-emerging tourism destinations.
As North Sulawesi enters a new chapter of global travel, Manado Marriott Resort & Spa stands as a catalyst for sustainable destination growth and meaningful discovery. By combining Marriott Hotels’ brand globally recognized community partnerships, the resort offers travelers an inspiring new way to experience one of Indonesia’s most captivating coastal destinations.
