Carita Beach, a seaside destination on Java’s west coast, was once a favourite weekend escape for Jakarta residents. Its quiet coastline and rustic charm offered a great respite from the city, but as travel evolved and tastes matured, Carita faded into a distant memory. But, seemingly out of nowhere, a new resort has given the area a chic upgrade – Movenpick Resort Carita has turned the spotlight on this Banten coastline.
Built around the concept of a ‘joyful reconnection,’ the property pairs soft design and restful experiences with genuinely warm hospitality, a fresh chapter for the coast that officially launched with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on 17 May 2026. Now open just a three-hour drive from Jakarta, this sophisticated seaside escape features 219 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each crafted with modern comforts and a private balcony looking out over the ocean to offer a panoramic backdrop that shifts throughout the day.
Good food and relaxed meals are a central part of the stay. The all-day-dining Lagoon Restaurant allows guests to savour a mix of familiar Indonesian flavours and classic Swiss dishes, while the comfortable Bluewave Lounge offers Italian-inspired choices. For light refreshments by the water, the Oceana Pool Bar is the perfect spot. In the evenings, the Seabreeze Golf & Bar provides a welcoming social space complete with a golf simulator. The experience comes to a delightful peak each afternoon with ‘Chocolate Hour‘, showcasing a daily spread of complimentary chocolate treats.
Away from the dining areas, guests can spend their days lounge by the ocean-facing infinity pool, relax at the spa, or visit the fitness centre. Families will appreciate the dedicated children’s pool and the Little Birds Kids Club. For those who want a bit of adventure, the resort offers archery, paintball, and thrill-seeking ATV trails. When it comes to gatherings, the resort scales up beautifully for grand occasions with the expansive Samudera Grand Ballroom—built for up to 1,700 guests—complemented by the Selat Sunda Ballroom and 10 versatile, sunlit meeting rooms.
Christophe Bernard Keramaris, General Manager of Mövenpick Resort Carita, echoes this excitement. “We are delighted to introduce Mövenpick Resort Carita as Banten’s newest landmark destination. The resort has been envisioned as a sanctuary where guests can seamlessly reconnect with nature, their loved ones, and themselves, all whilst enjoying the signature comfort and premium quality that defines our brand.”
To celebrate its highly anticipated debut, Mövenpick Resort Carita is offering a special introductory rate starting from IDR 2,700,000 per room, per night, valid for stays until 16 August 2026. Members of ALL – Accor Live Limitless can enjoy exclusive benefits and earn loyalty points during their stay.
