Plataran Borobudur Resort and Spa

Set high in the Menoreh Hills of central Java with sweeping views of Borobudur Temple, Mount Merapi, and tropical forest, Plataran Borobudur combines Javanese soul with modern elegance. Villas are scattered across landscaped gardens filled with frangipani and antique teak furnishings and joglo-style architecture. The atmosphere here is peaceful and days unfold to the rhythm of temple visits, cultural encounters, and quiet time by the pool or spa. It’s a wonderfully immersive base for culture-seekers on a luxury vacation to Indonesia.

Accommodation

The resort offers elegant villas in traditional and modern styles, many with private pools and temple views.
