19 rooms are spacious and come with a touch of local design. Some feature balconies that look out over Mount Merapi, Mount Meranti and Mount Raung.

Expect traditional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients alongside more international flavours.

You’re within easy reach of the Ijen crater, the biggest lake crater in Indonesia standing at 2,300m above sea level. It was formed around 300,000 years ago and the unique combination of yellow-tinted rocks and the blue of the mineral lake is truly spectacular.
