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.
