Java is the fifth largest and most populous island in Indonesia. It is the cultural and economic heartland of the country. Situated in between Sumatra to the east and Bali to the west, Java is a geographically remarkable island, with 121 currently active volcanoes and a large number of varied and unique national parks. This, combined with a rich cultural heritage, provides any visitor with a truly fascinating and unique holiday.

The capital, Jakarta, is developing at a rapid pace and the urban sprawl continues to spread. It is a giant megacity and is the centre of modern Indonesia. Feed your inquisitive side in the central region, while immersing yourself in history, archaeology and art. Here you’ll find the largest Buddhist structure on Earth, the magnificent Borobudur, which cannot be missed. Yogyakarta is the soulful centre of the island, bursting with history, culture and delicious Indonesian cuisine, where nearby lies the most active volcano in the country, the towering Mount Merapi. For the most extreme and scenic locations, head to the east where trekking and surfing opportunities are plenty, and the scenery and cuisine are set to assault the senses. You’ll also come in close contact with nature experiencing the unparalleled biodiversity of Ujung Kulon and Baluran National Parks. For those seeking the ultimate hiking adventures for their luxury holiday in Indonesia, the mystical and extraordinary Mount Bromo and Ijen volcanoes will reward you with out-of-this-world landscapes.
