Wyndham Hotel Group has appointed Mr Agus Suananda as General Manager of Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali. He will be driving the resort’s pre-opening efforts, which include establishing brand standards, streamlining the opening and integration process, and managing the daily operations of the resort.
Wyndham Jivva Bali will be the group’s first managed hotel in Indonesia, located on Bali’s Lepang Beach, Klungkung. Scheduled to open in September 2016, the US$22 million beachfront resort designed by award-winning Indonesian architect Gregorius Supie will comprise eight villas and 214 apartments.
Set on 1.4 hectares of beachfront land, the resort will feature a floating lobby surrounded by a pool, garden pool, a separate pool, which expands into the oceanfront, a beach club, an all-day dining restaurant, conference facilities, a destination spa and a fitness centre. The resort is just minutes from the world-famous surf break, Keramas and cultural landmarks such as Bali Safari & Marine Prak and the Klungkung Palace.
Mr Agus brings over ten years of hospitality experience to the role. He was previously General Manager at Centara Taum Seminyak Resort in Bali where he worked closely with key stakeholders to manage the hotel operations and revenue. Prior to his last appointment, he was the General Manager for several hotels in Bali including Bloo Lagoon Sustainable Village, Five Elements Puri Ahimsa Ubud, and Waka Nusa Resort in Lembongan Island.
Mr Agus said, “Bali was voted as one the world’s best islands by leading industry bodies and welcomed more than 4 million tourists last year – a true testament to its title as a leading resort destination. Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali will be the first upscale hotel in Klungkung and allows guests to discover another facet of Bali with its beautiful black sand beach, world-class surf breaks and close proximity to heritage centres.
“In line with the direction set by Wyndham, we hope that the opening of Wyndham Jivva Bali will encourage sustainable tourism in Bali and enrich guests with local wisdom through authentic experiences,” he added
