Reasons To
Visit Indonesia

  • Volcanos

    Heading up Krakatau is like trekking over Mars and as the guides tell you once you get half way: "No further or our boots melt". The basic nature of camping out on the island is outshone by the fact you will probably be the only people staying overnight and will be sleeping just metres from the ocean in the shadow of a volcano. A beautiful coral reef around one side of the island offers excellent snorkelling and the views over to the peak of the smoking Anak Krakatau are superb.

  • Beaches

    The most obvious choice for a beach destination in Indonesia would be the island of Bali. Places like Seminyak, Sanur and Jimbiran are idyllic retreats.

  • History & culture

    Indonesia is scattered with many temples and ancient monuments. Perhaps the most famous is the vast pyramidal structure of Borobudur, considered to be one of Southeast Asia’s greatest religious relics. Hundreds of Buddha images stare impassively out over the plains and the detailed galleries and terraces that lead up to its central stupa tell tales of ancient gods and battles.

  • Weather

    There is never really a 'bad' time to go to Indonesia and the weather is good during the British summer months unlike many other Southeast Asian destinations. Even during the wet season, the rain won't dampen the enjoyment of your holiday as it falls in short downpours and it means that the scenery around you will be lush and colourful.

  • Wildlife

    Indonesia is home to some incredible wildlife and the national parks in Kalimantan and Sumatra are some of the best places to see it. Trek through jungles, rivers and waterfalls on foot or by elephant to discover the wonders of nature from the orang-utan to the world's largest flower.

Taman Sari blends wonderfully with nature, the simple cottages and suites were built using natural indigenous materials in a relaxed setting surrounded by tranquil gardens and ponds.

Each of the six suites has its own character and is individually decorated with antiques and art. Two of the suites have a second floor with a terrace overlooking the ocean and the nearby mountains, while the others have large terraces. All suites are surrounded by a picturesque lotus pond and have a garden bathroom where you can enjoy a shower under the open sky.

In addition to the suites Taman Sari has six spacious private pool suites, two ocean view junior suites and numerous comfortable air-conditioned cottages overlooking a lawn from which you can watch local fishermen sailing boats lazily float by.

Taman Sari boasts a small beachfront pool and restaurant along with a small sunken bar in the pool. Spa treatments are available in the grounds or in your room while for the more active, the snorkelling straight from the beach is a daily activity.

Indeed Pemuteran Bay is well known for its 'Reef Garden Project', which is revitalizing the dead coral that was destroyed through fish bombing, global warming and other issues. This rebirthing of the coral reef is being done through metal structures submerged in the ocean, which have a low passive electrical current running to them. This electricity motivates the growth of the coral, making it grow five times faster than normal.

Since the success of this project, many new and different kinds of fish are returning to the reef to enjoy a safe and healthy eco system.
