Introducing Indonesia

Not only does Indonesia offer some of the best beach escapes anywhere in the world, it’s also full of smiling people, incredible food, a diverse array of wildlife, and spectacular volcanoes.

When is the best time to visit?
The hands down best time of the year to visit Indonesia is between May and September, when the days are dry and sunny. That being said, it stays warm and comfortable during the wet season as well, when you should expect intense downpours that last a few hours but clear up pretty quickly.

Where to go in Indonesia?
As tempting as it is to spend the entire trip relaxing in Bali, there’s so much more to Indonesia than beaches and spa treatments. Visit active and dormant volcanoes, such as Mt. Bromo in the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park, or paddle through the Komodo National Park, home of the world famous Komodo Dragons. You will inevitably travel in and out of Indonesia via Jakarta, and other cultural destinations to explore include Yogyakarta, Tana Toraja, and the Baliem Valley.

How many days do I need?
Indonesia is best experienced at a slower pace. Let yourself enjoy the beaches and other natural scenery, and maybe even visit a spa or two. Try to reserve at least a week to really savor this country.

Explore trips by duration: 5 days · 6 days · 7 days · 8 days · 9 days · 10 days · 11 days · 12 days · 13 days · 14 days · 15 days

With two luxury-infused weeks in Indonesia, you can spend extended time on lesser-visited islands exploring landscapes and villages untouched by tourism. Travelers with an affinity for temples and beaches will find Bali and Sumba an excellent match, while Munduk and Wangiwangi Island suit those eager to snorkel and trek.

We had a wonderful time with our Yogyakarta guide and driver, Dilla &Parlan. Seeing Borobudur and Prambanan was a highlight of our trip and they made getting to both fun and easy to see.

The travel from Yogyakarta to Bromo and Ijen could have been overwhelming given the distance but our guide/driver Aldo was the best. His excellent English, sense of humor and being an all around fun person made the time go quickly. The hotels and regions we stayed at for the hikes were beautiful. Our Bromo guide Teguh was the best guide we had during the trip. We’d heard about the possible crowds at Bromo but with his guidance felt like we had the mountain to ourselves. And he always knew how to get the best photo to capture the beauty. The region around Ijen is stunning filled with terraced rice fields and coffee plantations.

Snorkeling in northern Bali at Menjangan Island was spectacular- incredible corals, endless fish and sea turtles. The drive from north Bali to south was fascinating and possibly some of the steepest roads I’ve ever seen. Pecatu (Uluwatu) is beautiful being high up on the cliffs with amazing views. Really enjoyed relaxing and recharging here.

Hotel Reviews
VANARA Resort & Spa
Pecatu

Incredible buildings with beautiful designed rooms/ villas and the view is spectacular. The restaurant and breakfasts were some of the best food we had in Indonesia- I’m still thinking of the lovely breakfasts. Staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful- always helpful and anticipating your needs. We had an early checkout and they offered breakfast to go which was so perfect.

Authenticity & Character
Villas are designed to capture the views and with great attention to detail. The afternoon snacks in the room are also lovely.
Location
The view over the cliff to the ocean was incredible during the day but even better at sunset. Don’t be surprised by the drive in- it is a bit out of the way but completely worth it.
Staff
The staff were always kind, attentive and helpful. The resort uses texting rather than landline phones - which I didn’t know how I’d feel about but it works great and isn’t at all obtrusive. Also, because the restaurant is so highly regarded and the location so amazing people come to have drinks and dinner but the staff quietly gives preference to those staying at the hotel- which is lovely.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5-Star Stay at Villa Andrea – Absolutely Beautiful! 🌴✨** Our stay at Villa Andrea in Baliwas absolutely wonderful! The villa was stunning, beautifully maintained, and provided the perfect atmosphere for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. The pool was amazing and definitely one of the highlights of our stay! But what truly made our experience unforgettable was Putu, our incredible chef! She was absolutely AMAZING! Her cooking was exceptional, every meal was prepared with love and care, and her warm personality made the experience even more special. If you have the opportunity to have Putu as your private chef, DO IT! You will not regret it! She truly elevated our stay and made us feel so well taken care of. From the beautiful villa to the incredible hospitality, everything was wonderful. Villa Andrea was the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of Bali and create unforgettable memories. Thank you, Villa Andrea, and a very special thank you to Putu for making our stay so memorable! ❤️🌺 10/10 – Highly recommend!
