When it comes to staying local and living large with family-friendly fun, Padma Hotels is always a cut above. Celebrating 35 years of heartfelt hospitality, the Padma Hotels continues to blend modern flair with the kind of warmth only Indonesia can give. It all started at Padma Resort Legian, before spreading its wings to the hillside charm of Padma Hotel Bandung, the wellness haven of Padma Resort Ubud, the bleisure favourite Resinda Hotel Karawang, and most recently, the Javanese-inspired Padma Hotel Semarang. Three decades on, Padma Hotels still knows how to keep things fresh – mixing heritage, culture, and contemporary comforts to create stays that are as memorable as they are meaningful.
Padma Resort Legian
Padma Hotels’ journey began in 1990 with its very first resort, a modest beachside sanctuary that set the tone for the brand’s heartfelt approach to hospitality. Back then, the property offered only a handful of guest rooms and a single swimming pool, yet it instantly captured the hearts of travellers who found themselves drawn to its warmth, charm, and genuine Balinese welcome. It was simple, but memorable.
Decades later, the resort has transformed into the iconic Padma Resort Legian, now home to 437 rooms and suites that cater to families, couples, and solo travellers alike. What began as one pool has expanded into five, framed by tropical gardens and accented by curated Balinese artworks that weave local culture into every corner. Guests can spend their days drifting between immersive cultural performances, family-friendly activities, and a wide spread of culinary experiences across diverse restaurants and bars.
Padma Hotel Bandung
When it first opened its doors in 1994, the property offered travellers a gateway to the serene air of Ciumbuleuit Hill. With just 51 well-appointed rooms and an intimate setting, it quickly carved out a reputation for sophistication wrapped in tranquillity – a rare urban escape that still felt as peaceful as a mountain retreat.
In 2009, the property was reintroduced as Padma Hotel Bandung, beginning a new chapter as the premier urban resort it is today. Now with 124 rooms, a heated infinity pool, a dedicated Indonesian restaurant, expansive meeting and event spaces, and curated cultural programmes, the hotel balances leisure with business seamlessly. Families are drawn to its famed Adventure Park, while business travellers find sophistication at every turn. Today, Padma Hotel Bandung is undergoing yet another transformation, elevating its signature Sundanese warmth with a refined modern flair.
Padma Resort Ubud
Set against Ubud’s lush jungle backdrop, Padma Resort Ubud made its debut in 2016, bringing an eco-inspired, au naturel sanctuary to the heart of Payangan Valley. With 149 rooms and the showstopping 89-metre heated salt-chlorinated infinity pool stretching across the treetops, the resort quickly established itself as one of the area’s pioneering wellness retreats.
Today, it remains the only Padma Hotels property in Ubud, offering far more than just a glimpse into the region’s soulful way of life. Guests can join jungle treks, cycle scenic trails, or practise speciality yoga against the serene valley views. The resort also nurtures an immersive agroforestry garden and a charming animal garden, creating experiences that bring travellers closer to nature. With its blend of wellness, adventure, and cultural connection, Padma Resort Ubud has earned accolades and a reputation as one of Bali’s leading wellness destinations.
Resinda Hotel Karawang
With Karawang evolving into a prominent industrial hub, Resinda Hotel Karawang opened in 2016 to serve the growing number of business travellers, offering comfortable guest rooms and practical dining facilities. Over the years, the property has steadily raised its standards, reflecting the group’s commitment to elevating hospitality across its destinations.
Today, the hotel has transformed into a bleisure haven that caters not only to corporate guests but also to families seeking extended stays. Its 236 spacious rooms and suites are complemented by a lagoon-style pool, a multicultural dining venue, and a grand ballroom suited for events of scale. Adding to its distinct character, the newly introduced Ambassador Suite and authentic Japanese sento experience redefine the benchmarks of hospitality in Karawang, positioning the hotel as a destination that goes far beyond business.
Padma Hotel Semarang
The youngest in the collection, Padma Hotel Semarang, opened in 2022 as a cultural gateway to Central Java’s rich Javanese heritage amid the city’s bustling rhythm. Positioned as an urban escape, the hotel presents contemporary guest rooms and versatile function spaces, while also earning distinction as the first in Semarang to introduce pool-access rooms with a warm salt-chlorinated pool. Its facilities include the largest hotel ballroom in Central Java and a variety of dining venues, among them the playful Goolali Gelato Bar & Patisserie.
Adding to its allure, the hotel’s latest unveiling – a full-scale waterpark – has cemented its reputation as a family-friendly holiday destination. Having successfully hosted events with more than 2,000 guests, Padma Hotel Semarang has flourished into both a cultural and lifestyle centrepiece, mirroring the city’s growing prominence as one of Indonesia’s spotlight-worthy destinations.
For over 35 years, Padma Hotels has defined Indonesian hospitality, blending luxury with lifestyle through award-winning dining, curated wellness, and signature events like the Padma Run. Innovations such as the Padma Resident membership and Padma Hotels App offer personalised privileges, while sustainability and cultural enrichment remain central.
