Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Set on a working coffee plantation in the hills outside Yogyakarta, this heavenly heritage hotel re-captures the romance of the colonial era, with authentic Dutch-Indonesian villas dotted around 25 acres of manicured grounds. Eight volcanoes punctuate the horizon – a spellbinding backdrop for leisurely afternoons on your own private veranda or relaxing in the stone-lined infinity pool, from where the views extend over miles of unbroken tree canopy to distant forested mountains. The Javanese-inspired interiors, featuring antique carved wood screens, four posters and fine local textiles, are no less entrancing.
