MesaStila
Red-hot coffee plot
Volcano-ringed plantation fields
Encircled by eight volcanoes and situated near Yogyakarta, hotel MesaStila’s 22 hectares are dotted with groomed gardens, coffee plants and authentic Dutch colonial buildings. The delicious coffee is an unsurprising highlight of this former coffee plantation, and the award-winning spa – boasting one of Indonesia’s only Turkish hammams – makes exquisite use of products grown and processed onsite.

Our Favourite Rooms
The undisputed honeymooner’s hot spot, Arum Villa 204 immediately seduced us with its vast private balcony looking out onto the untouched forest, and the quaint round water fountain by the whimsical entrance. The grand and imposing Bella Vista Villa comprises two freestanding and three adjoining villas that were once part of nearby Solo’s royal court, and includes a private plunge pool.
Poolside
The emerald-sheened octagonal infinity pool beside the restaurant is fed with fresh spring water and overlooks the surrounding mountains and forests.
Spa
The Hammam Spa has authentic Turkish steam bath, four treatment rooms, a beauty salon, a plunge pool and spa gallery. Choose from a variety of Asian-style treatments and massage therapy, including coffee body scrubs and rejuvenating jade facials.
