Jiwa Jawa

East Java


An ultra-modern mountain lodge, this excellent place has stylish though compact rooms with beautiful photo art on the walls, quality mattresses, floor-to-ceiling windows and the best bathrooms you've ever seen on the side of an exploding volcano. You'll also love the elevated cafe-restaurant, which has sweeping views over villages and vegetable fields.

It even hosts temporary art exhibitions. It's a couple of kilometres back from Cemoro Lawang in the village of Ngadisari.
