Our favourite rooms
All of the free-standing guest suites are centuries-old traditional Javanese wooden homes called gladaks that have been reassembled by hand and restored on-site. The décor is tranquil and unfussy, there are indoor and outdoor rain showers, and each suite has a free-standing copper bath, or one made from Belgian bluestone salvaged from a Javanese rail station.
Poolside
There’s a serene saltwater infinity pool, plus outdoor subterranean hot and cold plunge pools for contrast hydrotherapy.
Spa
The serene spa offers a full range of personalised therapies, including massages, facials and body wraps, polishes and masks, using Indonesian natural skincare brand Sensatia Botanicals. There are treatment rooms for singles and couples. The hotel also offers the Indonesian heritage bathing ritual Mandi Rempah – an aromatic bath with herbs, rose petals and frangipanis.

Sustainability efforts
You'll find no single-use plastic here, and that includes from its local food suppliers, and restaurant menus are exclusively vegan and pescatarian, with a focus on reducing waste. Bathrooms come with washable cotton pads, wooden toothbrushes and eco-friendly botanical toiletries. Most of the wood used to create the hotel’s structure and furniture is reclaimed. The swimming pool deck is made from recycled iron from an old bridge in Borneo, and the ten guest suites are century-old wooden gladaks – traditional Javanese homes that have been reassembled by hand on site.
