Marriott Bonvoy introduces “Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors,” a program dedicated to launching every stay with an authentic local adventure experience.
Each day of the experience begins with meaningful, immersive outdoor activities, such as 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. The kinds of moments that remind travelers why they venture – not merely to see the world, but to feel it breathe around them.
Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors is created to reconnect travelers with what truly matters: exploring not just the world, but the emotional impact of genuine outdoor experiences. As a global initiative by Marriott Bonvoy, it focuses on connecting travelers with the most inspiring outdoor destinations and experiences, centering nature as an active companion throughout every journey and reaffirming the program’s promise to foster personal discovery.
Launched globally, Marriott Bonvoy Outdoors opens a gateway to adventure across continents. In Indonesia and Malaysia, 9 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.
“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,” said Ramesh Jackson, Regional Vice President, Indonesia & Malaysia, Marriott International.
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. Here are a few highlights:
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve – A Glorious Immersion into Ubud’s Wilderness
Nestled in the heart of Bali’s sacred valley, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton 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.
Element Bali Ubud – A Sustainable Escape into Nature
In Ubud, the forest gently exhales. Mist sifts through the trees and settles over lush rice terraces, where Element Bali Ubud rests 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 dappled 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.
Natra Bintan, a Tribute Portfolio Resort – Glamping with a Spirit of Adventure
At Natra Bintan, 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.
