Indonesia once again shines on the world stage through prestigious accolades and exclusive international coverage from two globally renowned travel publications — Condé Nast Johansens and Travel + Leisure. These honors reaffirm Indonesia’s standing as a world-class destination celebrated for its heritage preservation, eco-sustainability, and authentic cultural richness.
Plataran Indonesia Elevates Indonesia’s Global Presence Through Prestigious International Recognition
At the center of this achievement is Plataran Group, which proudly received distinguished recognition from both publications. Plataran Borobudur, representing Indonesia, earned the title of Best Breakfast in the Africa, Asia, and Middle East Region at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2026. Additionally, the resort became the subject of an in-depth feature by Travel + Leisure, in which the journalist shared a captivating journey through the property’s natural beauty, local culture, and strong community connections.
These awards and editorial highlights further strengthen Indonesia’s image on the global tourism map — especially within the premium travel segment that values nature conservation, cultural heritage, and community well-being.
A Living Heritage in Harmony with Nature and Community
Plataran Borobudur embodies the group’s authentic DNA — a heritage property deeply rooted in history, seamlessly integrated with nature, and dedicated to giving back to the local community. With over 1,200 years of historical significance, the resort stands majestically atop a hill facing the iconic Borobudur Temple, framed by panoramic views of Mount Merapi and Mount Merbabu.
Surrounded by teak forests, rice fields, and four traditional villages, Plataran Borobudur reflects genuine Indonesian values. More than 80% of its staff come from nearby communities, demonstrating the brand’s strong commitment to local empowerment.
Renowned for its luxury and iconic identity, the resort integrates three distinct clusters within its Borobudur compound, offering comprehensive MICE facilities, immersive cultural and nature exploration programs, and well-loved wellness experiences that resonate with both domestic and international guests.
Plataran: Redefining Indonesian Hospitality on the Global Stage
As a proudly Indonesian-born hospitality group, Plataran continues to establish itself as the embodiment of “The Next Level of New Tourism and Indonesian Hospitality.” With its mission, “Plataran for Indonesia and the World,” the brand aims to elevate Indonesia’s tourism reputation globally through authentic, sustainable, and locally inspired experiences.
Plataran’s track record of excellence is reinforced by a series of international achievements. Plataran Komodo recently joined the ranks of 33 Indonesian hotels and resorts awarded the prestigious Michelin Key, while also winning Condé Nast Johansens’ Best for Romance. Meanwhile, the Plataran Venue & Dining Division celebrated its own global victory, with Plataran Menteng earning top honors at the Luxury Restaurant Awards 2025 as Best Luxury Heritage Restaurant in Southern Asia and Best Indonesian Cuisine – Global Winner.
Recognition from Indonesia’s Tourism Ministry
Former Minister of Tourism (2020–2024), Sandiaga Uno, expressed pride in the achievements: “It is truly inspiring to see Plataran receive international recognition. These awards and features not only elevate Indonesia’s tourism image globally but also highlight the importance of strong national enterprises with global competitiveness that uplift local communities. Plataran’s achievements are a shining example of how quality and sustainable tourism can deliver real benefits to the people while strengthening Indonesia’s reputation worldwide.”
A Vision Rooted in Culture, Nature, and People
Founded in 2009 by an educator couple with a deep vision for Indonesia and its people, Plataran has remained steadfast in its mission to develop and elevate destinations across the archipelago. From reviving existing sites to creating new ones, the brand continues to embody authentic Indonesian culture through its integrated hospitality platform.
The group’s enduring DNA — harmonizing nature, culture, and community — serves as a genuine and irreplaceable value that defines Plataran’s success. This philosophy demonstrates how quality tourism can serve as a powerful force for heritage preservation, community empowerment, and local economic growth, making Plataran a true ambassador of Indonesian excellence on the global stage.
