About Indonesia

Indonesia is a land of almost infinite variety. Its marvellous islands, from the very large to the absolutely tiny, are scattered 5,000 kilometres along the equator, each brimming with indigenous plants and animals in their own diverse eco-systems. The country's 250 million people, too, are dispersed over 6,000 inhabited islands, each with their own cultural identities and ancient customs. In a land of such diversity, it's perhaps unsurprising that the choice of accommodation options is also vast. Whether you're dreaming of a hip romantic hideaway, a chilled jungle retreat or a luxurious beach resort, our guide to the best places to stay in Indonesia has it all.

Some of our Indonesia Collections:

The island of Java is home to bustling Jakarta, the capital city and the starting point of many an Indonesian adventure. Elsewhere on the island, you’ll find the lively city of Semarang and the stunning ancient temple complexes of Prambanan and Borobudur near Yogyakarta. Journey east to magical Bali, perhaps Indonesia’s most famous island, with its lush jungles, peaceful temples and beautiful beaches. Hikers, mountain bikers, horse riders and wildlife enthusiasts will delight in discovering the island’s wild interior. Neighbouring Lombok is growing in popularity — as are the gorgeous Gili Islands, a paradise for divers and snorkellers.

Head even further off the beaten track with a trip to Sumba, famed for its superb surf, or to Flores, a diver’s dream within easy reach of the Komodo National Park. Small and picturesque, the little island of Bintan is most easily reached from Singapore and brilliant for romantic honeymooners or fun family holidays. Kick back in style at one of the best places to stay in Indonesia as you plan your next island expedition.

The Best Places to Stay in Indonesia

For Beachfront Bliss

  • The Tugu showcases a vibrant celebration of the ancient kingdoms of Indonesia through 22 timber houses set amidst lotus ponds and lush gardens. A funky Canggu gem, filled with eclectic artefacts and just moments from the beach. One for lovers of quirky and traditional design keen to retreat after days by the sea.
  • The Sanchaya is an elegant Bintan beachfront resort with white-on-white rooms and villas nestled in lush, landscaped gardens. A gorgeous honeymoon retreat, the hotel fuses design elemetns from both East and West, and the attention to detail is impeccable. Amble along pristine sands, paddle in the infinity pool and feast on organic cuisine after rejuvenating spa treatments. A romantic gem.
  • The Lombok Lodge overlooks unspoilt Medana Beach. Its nine sleek lodges have white-on-white interiors, ocean views and big bathtubs. Gourmet cuisine, a superb swimming pool and a wealth of activities await at this intimate luxury hotel. For minimalist design fans, romantics and families.
  • Jeeva Klui Resort is an indulgent Lombok hideaway with 35 generously proportioned suites and villas. Four-poster beds sit under pitched ceilings with big beams, and terraces reveal open-air bathtubs for long soaks under starlit skies. Feast at the The Waroeng Restaurant after rejuvenating afternoons at the spa.
  • The Island Houses Gili Meno are the stuff of castaway dreams. Nestled on the beach in pint-sized Gili Meno, these two houses — Robinson & Crusoe — have rustic interiors with embroidered textiles, hand-hewn wooden furnishings, polished concrete floors and a timeless sense of charm. The team will give you as much privacy as you like.

For Boutique Chic

  • The Slow is a seriously slick spot in central Canggu. With 12 minimalist, 1970s-inspired suites created by fashion designer-owner George Gorrow, this is a hip boutique bolthole unlike any other in town. Foodies and groups of friends will love the buzzy Kitchen + Bar's fresh flavours and cracking cocktails. Four of the rooms have a private plunge pool. An oasis in the heart of the action.
  • La Reserve 1785 is made up of 13 sumptuous suites, all inspired by the hotel's early 20th-century owner, Henriette (a French antiques collector and love priestess!). Expect four-poster beds, antiques and artwork, all with a sense of French sophistication. Unwind at the spa, feast at the restaurant or explore Canggu. Treat yourself to a suite with plunge pool!
  • Balquisse Heritage Hotel is a gorgeous boutique bolthole with 22 rooms and suites, each individually decorated by the owners, who originally restored the hotel as a family home.

An adult-only wellness retreat in Uluwatu, this serene sanctuary has a superb spa, yoga shala, saltwater pool and casual dining restaurant with an emphasis on healthy cuisine and a strong eco ethos. Gorgeous.
  • Soori Bali is a super-slick eco property hidden away from the crowds and overlooking a velvety black beach.

The rejuvenating spa is a lovely addition. For families or couples looking to kick back on the Gili Islands.

For Keen Divers

For Families

  • Four Seasons Sayan is a tranquil Balinese hideaway, showcasing organic design through 60 luxurious rooms and suites. Think beautiful spaces overlooking lush tropical gardens and rolling hills, a blissful spa, and great guided walks of the surrounding villages. The kids club is brilliant for little ones, and there are excellent family suite options. Strolling along the canopy-level bridge is a highlight!
  • The Residence is a fantastic resort for families on Bintan, with impressive ocean views from one- and two-bedroom villas, many of which have private pools, free-standing tubs and sunny terraces. The kids club organises treasure hunts and beach games, whilst grown-ups can enjoy cooking classes, yoga and spa treatments. The art classes are ideal for all ages. For active types.
  • Hidden Hills Villas boasts 23 suites and villas in Uluwatu, each uniquely themed around a particular destination. Choose to stay in playful St Tropez, for example, or blue-and-white clad Santorini. Tremendously romantic, this design-focused spot is also great for families or groups — as well as for intimate weddings. Friendly owners and an exceptional restaurant complete the picture.
  • Kuno Villas offers a characterful collection of antique teak villas — some with multiple bedrooms — set within verdant gardens in north-east Gili Trawangan. Classic pitched roofs hide big kitchens, sitting rooms and indulgent bedrooms, whilst most open-air bathrooms have free-standing tubs. Fabulous.
