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.

Ubud Hanging Gardens

Ubud

Ubud Hanging Gardens is a Pansea Orient Express Hotel.

It is surrounded by ancient trees and situated in gravity-defying terraced gardens, this unique haven nestles on a dramatic hillside overlooking the Ayung river gorge.

The garden is unique, nature becomes a spectacle here, with exotic trees and essences of the tropics - cocoa, coffee, durian, rambutan, lychee, and a variety of tropical bamboos, flame trees, bird of paradise flowers and orchids.

Perched adjacent to steep rice terraces looking out to a temple on the opposite hill, the 38 individual villas are all constructed in contemporary Balinese style with thatched alang-alang roofs and private plunge pools.

Each panoramic deluxe pool villa boats a sweeping panoramic view of the valley and hillside beyond, the villas have either a king sized four-poster bed or two twin beds with a large en-suite bathroom with hand finished terrazzo polished stone bath.

Set high on wooden pillars alongside terraced gardens, with its own private infinity pool heated to a minimum of 29°C all year round this accommodation provides a perfect environment to relax and unwind.

The large terrace with traditional open-air Balinese resting area offers a comfortable sitting area and the floor to ceiling windows of the bedroom allow the tranquil atmosphere of the rice terraces to sweep into the room.

The deluxe pool villas are exactly the same but located close enough to the river to be able to hear it from your terrace but don't boast the same spectacular valley views.
