Spain-based hotel operator Sol Meliá has revealed that it has secured an agreement to open its fifth property in Indonesia's second city - Surabaya - in 2013.

Meliá Adhiwangsa Surabaya will form part of a major leisure scheme, which incorporates a golf course and a shopping mall already open to the public. Facilities at the 300-bedroom property will feature a spa, a swimming pool, a children's area and two restaurants, as well as meeting and event space.

The hotel will be owned by Bukit Darmo Property Group and operated by Sol Meliá as part of a management agreement. Sol Meliá vice chair and chief executive officer Gabriel Escarrer said: "In addition to being a major focus for development, travel destinations in Asia-Pacific such as Indonesia are also the preferred destinations of Chinese outbound travel, a market which is increasing exponentially every year."
