Arena Botanika is a culinary destination currently being built in Nusantara (IKN), East Kalimantan. Located behind the Indonesian Presidential Palace in IKN, this area is designed with the concept of Premiere Social Compound, which combines social, entertainment, and culinary elements in one location.

The construction of Arena Botanika began with the laying of the first stone by President Joko Widodo on June 5, 2024. This project is being carried out by PT Arena Graha Andalan, part of the Arena Group, with an investment value of IDR 100 billion. The land used is 8,400 square meters, and construction is targeted to be completed and start operating in the first semester of 2025.
Facilities and Design
Arena Botanika is designed as a culinary space with a natural atmosphere typical of Kalimantan. The facilities offered include indoor and outdoor dining areas, private rooms, complete event facilities, live music, catering services, and provision of meal box.

In early 2025, Arena Botanika will present five famous restaurant brands, namely:
- Seribu Rasa

The presence of these restaurants is expected to meet the culinary needs of the community and support government, social, and economic activities in the IKN.
