Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney have escaped to paradise following theirRhode Island wedding, PEOPLE exclusively confirms.
The Oscar-winning actress, 29, and the art dealer, 34, have been honeymooning at the exclusiveNihi Sumba Resortin Indonesia. The remote island destination is known for its luxurious villa accommodations and excellent surf.
The hotel’s 33 villas are set on 530 private acres, and offer amenities like private plunge pools and spectacular ocean views, but the newlyweds stayed at an even more elusive spot on site: the private home of the resort’s owner, entrepreneur Chris Burch. His residence, known as Mendaka, is available to book and has hosted its fair share of celebrity guests, including Christian Bale, who stayed there last year, a source tells PEOPLE.

The spa, Nihi Oka, offers alfresco massages in a bamboo pavilion perched above the ocean. At the on-site Nihi Sumba Boathouse, guests can arrange excursions to surf, fish, charter a boat, dive, kayak, spearfish, snorkel, jet ski or stand-up paddleboard. There’s also horseback riding and yoga.
Nihi Sumba also recently hosted another high-profile event: the 2018wedding of Brody Jenner and Kaitlynn Carter, though the reality stars have since split.
It would take over a decade to secure the land rights for the hotel: the couple endured local clan wars, earthquakes and financial meltdowns, before they were able to build, according to producer and author Donnie Eichar, a recent guest.
In 2012, the Graveses teamed up with Burch and hotelier James McBride, bought the property and expanded it into one of the most exclusive resorts in the world.
Before jetting off to the Southeast Asian nation, Lawrence and Maroney celebrated their marriage at ahistoric mansion, Belcourt of Newport, in Rhode Island in October, with friends including Emma Stone, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Cameron Diaz, and Sienna Miller in attendance.
The couple, who have been linked since June 2018, welcomed guests to the seaside New England town with a clambakerehearsal dinnerheld under a white tent on Rose Island.
