Indonesia possesses vast natural wealth and tourism potential, one of which is Lake Ranau in South Sumatra Province, the second largest lake on the island of Sumatra. Despite its high ecological and recreational value, tourist visits to Lake Ranau declined significantly between 2020 and 2022, influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the inadequacy of accommodation facilities—not only in quantity but also in terms of sustainability. To date, no resort in the Lake Ranau area has applied bioclimatic architectural principles. This study addresses that gap by designing a bioclimatic resort hotel through site observation, local climate analysis, literature review, and comparative case studies of similar projects. The design adopts passive strategies such as optimal building orientation, natural ventilation, use of local materials, and shading systems to achieve thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The result is a sustainable accommodation prototype tailored to the local climate. The main contribution of this research lies in advancing sustainable architectural practices in tourism areas and enriching the discourse on bioclimatic architecture within the context of Indonesia’s regional development.
