About IKN Tourism: Pioneering Luxury & Sustainable Travel in Nusantara

Welcome to IKN Tourism, your premier gateway to experiencing the future of Indonesia’s luxury and sustainable travel landscape within the new capital city, Nusantara. As a proud member of the Juara Holding Group, we are at the forefront of curating unparalleled journeys to a destination poised to redefine eco-tourism and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) experiences in Southeast Asia. Our mission is deeply rooted in showcasing the breathtaking beauty and cultural richness of Kalimantan Timur, specifically the Penajam Paser Utara and Sepaku regions, while upholding the highest standards of environmental stewardship and community engagement.

IKN Tourism was founded on the vision of aligning with Indonesia’s ambitious development of Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) as a smart, green, and sustainable city. We believe that luxury travel can and should be a force for good, contributing positively to local economies, preserving natural heritage, and fostering cross-cultural understanding. Our expertise lies in crafting bespoke itineraries that blend opulent comfort with authentic Indonesian experiences, designed for discerning domestic visitors, MICE delegates, and those seeking unique Lebaran holiday escapes.

Our Story: A Vision for Nusantara

The journey of IKN Tourism began with a profound appreciation for Indonesia’s diverse landscapes and the transformative potential of Nusantara. Recognizing the government’s commitment to building a world-class capital that harmonizes with nature, we saw an opportunity to establish a tourism brand that embodies these very principles. Our founders, with decades of experience in the Indonesian hospitality and travel sectors, envisioned a company that would not merely offer tours but create immersive narratives around IKN’s development, its rich Borneo heritage, and its future as a global sustainability beacon.

From our initial conceptualization, we have worked closely with local stakeholders, environmental experts, and government bodies such as the Otorita IKN and Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Kemenparekraf) to ensure our offerings are not only luxurious but also responsible and impactful. We understand that IKN is more than just a city; it’s a symbol of Indonesia’s aspirations, and our tourism experiences reflect this grand narrative.

Curating bespoke journeys into Nusantara’s heart

Imagine waking to the symphony of the rainforest, the air crisp with the scent of tropical blossoms, knowing your journey contributes directly to the preservation of this pristine paradise. Beyond the typical, IKN Tourism crafts experiences that resonate with the discerning traveler. We understand that true luxury lies in exclusivity, profound connection, and seamless service. Our itineraries are meticulously designed, offering private access to nascent eco-resorts, personalized wellness programs set amidst lush landscapes, and gourmet culinary adventures that celebrate Kalimantan’s rich flavors. Each journey is a bespoke narrative, tailored to individual desires, ensuring every moment from arrival to departure is imbued with effortless elegance and purpose.

Our commitment extends to providing unparalleled service, integrating high-tech convenience with traditional Indonesian hospitality. Guests can anticipate private transfers, dedicated concierge support, and access to unique MICE facilities that blend state-of-the-art technology with sustainable design principles. These venues, poised within Nusantara’s visionary framework, offer a serene yet sophisticated backdrop for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions, all while minimizing environmental impact.

A profound dedication to ecological stewardship

Our vision for luxury travel is inextricably linked with a deep reverence for the natural world. IKN Tourism actively champions conservation initiatives across the region, focusing on the protection of the ancient Borneo rainforest—a global biodiversity hotspot. We partner with local environmental groups on reforestation projects and wildlife rehabilitation efforts, particularly for the iconic Bornean orangutan. A portion of every journey booked directly supports these vital conservation programs, allowing our guests to become active participants in safeguarding this irreplaceable ecosystem.

Nusantara itself is being developed with an ambitious green agenda, aiming for 80% public transport use and 80% green space within its urban core. We mirror this commitment by promoting low-impact tourism practices, from encouraging sustainable transport options to partnering with accommodations that prioritize renewable energy and waste reduction. Our guides are trained in responsible tourism, ensuring interactions with nature are respectful and educational, fostering a deeper appreciation for the delicate balance of the rainforest. Borneo is home to an estimated 104,700 Bornean orangutans, a testament to its critical ecological value.

Furthermore, our engagement extends to the local communities of Penajam Paser Utara and Sepaku. We believe that sustainable tourism must empower local economies and preserve indigenous cultures. Through fair trade partnerships with local artisans and direct support for community-led initiatives, we ensure that the benefits of IKN tourism flow back to the people who call this land home, preserving their heritage for future generations.

Embracing the cultural richness of East Kalimantan

Beyond its natural wonders, East Kalimantan offers a vibrant tapestry of cultures, particularly the rich traditions of the Dayak people. IKN Tourism provides exclusive opportunities to engage authentically with these communities, offering insights into their ancestral customs, intricate craftsmanship, and spiritual practices. Imagine participating in a traditional weaving workshop, witnessing a ceremonial dance, or sharing a meal prepared with age-old recipes – experiences designed to be immersive, respectful, and truly unforgettable.

Our curated excursions extend beyond Nusantara’s immediate vicinity, inviting travelers to explore the wider region’s hidden gems. Discover pristine rivers winding through dense jungle, visit traditional villages accessible only by boat, or trek to remote waterfalls. These journeys are guided by local experts who share their intimate knowledge of the land and its stories, offering a perspective that transcends typical tourist routes. The entire area of IKN spans approximately 256,000 hectares, providing a vast canvas for exploration and discovery.

As Nusantara evolves, it will serve as a beacon, drawing global attention to the broader splendors of Kalimantan. IKN Tourism is dedicated to being the bridge that connects discerning travelers to these wonders, ensuring that every visit not only delivers an unparalleled luxury experience but also contributes positively to the region’s cultural preservation and economic vitality. From the bustling port city of Balikpapan, a mere 120-kilometer drive connects you to the heart of Nusantara, opening doors to an adventure unlike any other.
