Wyndham bullish on Lombok recovery after opening first resort

Wednesday, 01 Oct, 2018 0

Hospitality group Wyndham has sent out a clear message of its commitment to the recovery of quake-hit Lombok with the opening of the all-suite Wyndham Sundancer Lombok.

The upscale resort has opened on the Sekotong Peninsular in Lombok’s southwest, which was unaffected and is some distance from the severely damaged communities of North and East Lombok.

The resort features one- and two-bedroom suites with kitchen facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi and large balconies.

Amenities at the resort, managed by PT. Wyndham Hotel Management, an Indonesian subsidiary of Wyndham Destinations, range from a lagoon-style pool with swim-up bar, three dining venues, wellness centre with a day spa and an on-site dive centre.

Wyndham Sundancer Lombok is located a short drive from Lombok’s Lembar port on unspoilt coastline which is the gateway to more than a dozen offshore islands known locally as the ‘secret Gilis.’

The area is noted for its pristine reefs for snorkelling and scuba diving and island hopping opportunities.

The ‘Desert Point’ offshore surf break is within easy reach, which is noted as one of the best on the planet.

"Lombok is a wonderful destination – recent relief efforts perfectly demonstrate the warmth and kindness of the Indonesian people – and I have no doubt it will make a total recovery," said Mr Joon Aun Ooi, President and Managing Director, South East Asia and Pacific Rim, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

"Tourism continues to be extremely important to the local economy so it is vital that travellers return as soon as possible. Vast parts of the island, including the south where Wyndham Sundancer Lombok is located, are completely unaffected."

A limited time 40 per cent off Best Available Rates is being offered during the soft opening period which is available on www.wyndhamhotels.com.

"Lombok has been gaining international acclaim as an emerging adventure destination for years and the recovery of its tourism industry is already well underway. To many visitors, it is a must-visit new destination to sample alongside regular favourites like Bali," said Barry Robinson, president and MD, International Operations, Wyndham Vacation Clubs.

After Wyndham Worldwide was split into two independent companies, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts named Wyndham Destinations and its Indonesian subsidiary, PT Wyndham Hotel Management, as preferred property manager in Indonesia delivering management services to nine hotels and resorts in the country.

These include properties under the Wyndham, Wyndham Garden, Ramada by Wyndham and Days Inn by Wyndham brands.
