Perched on the edge of a hillside in the highlands of Bromo, with panoramic views across the rolling hills and a tapestry of rice paddies, plantations and forest, Plataran Bromo wears its lofty position with pride. Located at the gateway of the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, it combines its striking views with a proximity to one of Indonesia’s most famous, and most active, volcanoes. While Bromo is the main draw, Plataran Bromo offers an imaginative selection of cultural and nature-inspired adventures, from a culinary journey to horse riding through the village, spending a day with local farmers to watching the sunrise with a picnic breakfast in the highlands.
The charming rooms combine character with comfort, while a range of accommodation styles and sizes mean a choice for both families, groups and couples. Five restaurants and bars capitalise on the staggering views, while drawing on the fertile fields below for the locally-sourced, fresh ingredients. After a day spent exploring the countryside, or climbing the mountains, the Padma Spa is a welcome retreat. Soothe tired muscles with a massage, high above the valley below.
