Experience the finest hotels, dining, and exclusive experiences in Indonesia.
Indonesia is a vast archipelago of over 17,000 islands, offering incredible diversity from ancient temples and volcanic landscapes to pristine beaches and vibrant coral reefs.

Luxury Hotels
The finest accommodations in Indonesia.
AYANA Resort and Spa Bali
Perched on 90-meter limestone cliffs above the Indian Ocean in Jimbaran, AYANA is consistently rated among Asia's finest resorts with 12 swimming pools, the iconic Rock Bar carved into the cliff face, and 19 dining outlets. The 1,500m² RIMBA Spa offers unmatched ocean-view treatment rooms.
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan
Built into the Ayung River gorge in Ubud's jungle, this iconic resort features the dramatic oval-shaped reception deck suspended above rice paddies and private villas with plunge pools overlooking the sacred river valley. Spiritual wellness, Balinese healing traditions, and world-class dining complete the experience.
The Dharmawangsa Jakarta
Jakarta's most prestigious boutique hotel occupies a colonial-inspired mansion in the exclusive Kebayoran Baru area with genuine Javanese and Balinese antiques throughout. The intimate scale (100 rooms), legendary spa, and outstanding Indonesian and international dining make it the choice of visiting heads of state.
Nihi Sumba Island
Repeatedly voted the world's best hotel, this ultra-exclusive 33-villa property on Sumba Island offers private surf access to Occy's Left (one of the world's best waves), authentic ikat weaving encounters with local Sumbanese communities, and malaria medicine included in the all-inclusive rate.
Raffles Hotel Europejski Jakarta

Fine Dining
Exceptional culinary experiences.
Locavore
Consistently ranked on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, Locavore in Ubud deconstructs and reimagines Indonesian ingredients through a French fine-dining lens. Chef Ray Adriansyah sources everything within the Indonesian archipelago, creating an educational and extraordinary tasting experience.
Namaaz Dining
Jakarta's most experimental fine-dining restaurant serves a molecular gastronomy interpretation of Indonesian street food, transforming soto, nasi goreng, and gado-gado into avant-garde multi-course experiences. The restaurant has no menu — courses arrive as surprising variations on familiar local dishes.
Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomique
Ubud's pioneering fine-dining institution opened by Alsatian chef Chris Salans in 2001, serving French-trained cuisine incorporating Balinese and Indonesian ingredients in a candlelit garden setting. The wine cellar and attentive service complement the creative tasting menus.
Merah Putih
Bali's most architecturally dramatic restaurant in Seminyak serves an Indonesian regional menu across its towering teak-and-bamboo cathedral interior. The signature beef rendang, Balinese duck, and whole grilled fish from the market showcase the breadth of Indonesian culinary tradition.
