Special hotel recommendation
You should not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in Java’s diverse culture. There are plenty of cooking classes that will teach you mouth-watering Indonesian recipes.
There are numerous museums and temples in walking distance from the resort which are worth visiting. Samudraraksa Museum, Diponegoro Museum, Museum Sasana Wiratama, Yogya Kembali Monument are not to be missed by history and art lovers.
With the Borobudur Temple as the world’s largest Buddhist temple located so close by, it would be a shame not to visit this ancient 12th century Buddhist temple. There are also two other temples built in the same period, Candi Pawon and Candi Mendut, which are magnificent displays of Javanese architecture, having elaborate carvings of various deities and mythological creatures.
Nature lovers can enjoy the beautiful tropical views by either trekking or cycling.
