SiteMinder drives 30% booking growth for Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Spa

OPERATIONS

First established in 2005, the luxury paradise of Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Spa is a tropical haven just 30 minutes off Bali’s east coast. Nusa Lembongan is renowned for its natural beauty, including world-class surf breaks like Playgrounds, Lacerations, and Shipwrecks, along with snorkelling and scuba diving in crystal-clear waters. Batu Karang Lembongan seamlessly combines this stunning environment with luxurious villas, breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, and the distant silhouette of Mount Agung. Guests are treated to high-quality accommodation, where a team of professional staff ensures that every stay is as comfortable as possible. With 39 rooms, the resort boasts a full range of facilities, including three swimming pools, a spa, gym & steam room, and a variety of dining options serving both Indonesian and international cuisine. Guests can also enjoy a beachfront café, a fully equipped conference room, and outdoor spaces perfect for weddings or exclusive events.

Why it matters: The resort had been facing persistent connectivity issues with their previous Channel Manager, which created optimise workflow. As a property catering mostly to international guests and connected to 13+ OTAs, seamless integration was essential.
