THE MINISTRY of Tourism has commended Indonesia’s hospitality sector for once again gaining international recognition, with 47 hotels and resorts included in the prestigious Michelin Keys 2026 list within the Global MICHELIN Guide.
This achievement sets a new record, surpassing the previous year’s figure of 33 Indonesian hotels and resorts included in the Michelin Keys list. This ranking also positions Indonesia as the country with the second-highest number of Michelin Key-holding hotels in Southeast Asia, trailing only Thailand.
Minister of Tourism Widiyanti Putri Wardhana stated that this achievement reflects the rising competitiveness of Indonesia’s tourism—particularly its hospitality sector—and will have a significant impact on strengthening the country’s tourism image.
“I extend my highest appreciation to all management teams and hospitality professionals who consistently maintain high quality standards,” said Minister Widiyanti in a statement on Sunday (9/20), 2026.
From a rigorous selection process involving approximately 9,000 properties worldwide, Indonesia successfully secured 3 Keys for three hotels and resorts, 2 Keys for eleven, and 1 Key for thirty-three. The list was published in the latest edition of the Michelin Keys on September 18, 2026.
The three hotels and resorts awarded 3 Keys (“An Extraordinary Stay”) are Nihi Sumba (Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara), Amanjiwo (Magelang, Central Java), and Mandapa Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Ubud, Bali).
Meanwhile, the eleven hotels and resorts achieving the 2 Keys qualification (“An Exceptional Stay”) are Amankila, The Sanchaya, The Apurva Kempinski Bali, Soori Bali, Capella Ubud, Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta, Bvlgari Resort Bali, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay, Buahan a Banyan Tree Escape, The Langham Jakarta, and Raffles Bali.
Furthermore, the 33 hotels awarded “1 Key” (A Very Special Stay) include Como Shambala Estate, Capung Sebali, Amandari, Viceroy Bali, Bisma Eight Ubud, Plataran Komodo Resort and Spa, Desa Potato Head Bali, Blue Karma Village, Cap Koroso, Hotel Tugu Lombok, La Reserve 1785 Canggu, Lost Lindeberg, The Puri Villas and Spa, Revivo Wellness Resort Nusa Dua Bali, Nirjhara, Jimbaran Puri: A Belmond Hotel Bali, and Samsara Ubud.
Also sharing this tier are The Ridge Bali, The Legian Seminyak, Raffles Jakarta, Hotel Le Temple Borobudur, The Dharmawangsa Jakarta, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, Innit Lombok, Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta, The St. Regis Jakarta, The Ungasan Cliffton Resort, Jumeirah Bali, Desa Hay Canggu, Park Hyatt Jakarta, Taaktana Luxury Collection Resort and Spa Labuan Bajo, The Orient Jakarta: a Royal Hideaway Hotel, and The St. Regis Bali Resort.
The hotels and resorts included in the Michelin Keys list are the result of a rigorous selection process. They must meet five key criteria: building design and aesthetics; architectural harmony with the surrounding environment; consistency in service and staff hospitality; unique character; and the property’s tangible contribution to providing guests with an authentic local experience.
Indonesian Hotels Included in “The 50 Best Hotels” List
Previously, three Indonesian hotels also made it onto “The 50 Best Hotels” list. Desa Potato Head in Seminyak, Bali—which offers a unique blend of boutique hotel, beach club, and arts and culture hub, alongside a strong commitment to environmental sustainability—ranked 21st.
Meanwhile, Nihi Sumba (East Nusa Tenggara)—which combines world-class luxury with the preservation of local culture, traditional architecture, and a deep commitment to environmental sustainability—ranked 35th. Additionally, Mandapa, Bali, ranked 61st on “The 50 Best Hotels 2026” list. A blend of world-class luxury service standards, the natural beauty of Ubud, and local wisdom earned Mandapa its place on this prestigious list.
Assessments and rankings are based on reviews and analysis compiled by a global network of experts. “The 50” gathers insights from thousands of experts to rank and honor the best in the hospitality industry.
Reflecting on these achievements, the Minister of Tourism urged tourism industry stakeholders to capitalize on this momentum to maintain quality and enhance the competitiveness of Indonesian tourism.
“Let us seize this momentum to strengthen Indonesia’s position as a premier, competitive, and sustainable world-class tourism destination,” concluded Widiyanti. [traveltext.id]
