Our Story
Every great business has a story. It begins with a vision, a passion and a connection to place.
After decades leading luxury hotels and resorts around the world, Chris McIntosh chose Ubud, Bali as his second home. Inspired by the island’s people, culture and incredible family owned businesses, he created The Maju Group to help local owners compete with international brands while preserving what makes their properties and businesses unique.
Today, the legacy continues, led by Arif Maulana and his specialist team. We work alongside business owners to strengthen operations, improve performance and unlock their full potential.
We begin by listening. We take the time to understand your story, your vision and your ambitions. We then provide practical support to help create exceptional guest experiences, stronger businesses and lasting success.
Because hospitality is not just about places. It is about people, stories and creating experiences that are remembered.

We approach every challenge with a solutions focused mindset, finding practical, thoughtful ways forward for our clients and partners.
Excellence is our standard. We bring this commitment to every project, partnership and interaction, with a focus on creating genuine value and lasting impact.
