Bangsring Breeze

Top choice in East Java


Quite simply one of the finest hotels in eastern Java. Each of the five rooms here have been individually and tastefully designed – think high ceilings, wood floors, throw rugs, stained driftwood furnishings, Buddhist and Hindu statues and fine art. There's a gorgeous pool overlooking the sea and Bali's Menjangan island beyond, and a spectacular volcano rising behind the property.

The landscaped gardens are awash with tropical flowers, and the staff go above and beyond to please. It's set up a hill from the beach to the north of the city and just north of the ferry port, and is absolutely worth a night or two. It's a great base from which to explore Menjangan or Ijen, and staff can get you down to Sukamade and Alas Purwo National Park too.
