Situated on a serene, 200-year-old coffee estate that produces a superb cup of Java, MesaStila inspires complete relaxation.

55 acres of tropical gardens, plantation and woodland are perched on a hilltop overlooking an awe-inspiring landscape of cloud-topped volcanoes and jungle-clad slopes. The views are genuinely breath-taking.

Within traditional, reconstructed Javan houses, the interiors are spacious and bright with a very contemporary sense of luxury, yet decorated with original features and antiques. All benefit from a private outdoor space and splendid views across the plantation or into the valley beyond. Wellbeing and healthy living are the focus here and there’s a comprehensive range of spa treatments, fitness activities and retreat packages. Enjoy walks in the mountains, herbal massages, homely local food, and plenty of fresh air.

Why we love it

“A gorgeous place, we felt utterly relaxed after just a couple of hours.”

Understated luxury & indulgent ethos

Infinity pool at MesaStila Resort & Spa

As you ascend into the lush hills of central Java, you can feel yourself unwinding further with each breath. It’s not surprising that wellness takes centre stage; relaxing into a treatment at the spa is bliss. The resort’s understated luxury and pampering ethos is perfect for when we’re craving a little time out from the intensity of the cities. The cherry on the cake is the view from the infinity pool – it’s one to savour.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Personalised and spot on journey

Personalised service all the way up to departure and then throughout via on the ground help and advice in country as well. Ideal.

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

It was amazing from start to finish. Really informative when we were planning the trip, flexible about our itinerary, offering a range of options but all backed with knowledge of the lodges and reserves. The support when we were away was excellent with alternative arrangements made quickly when a flight was cancelled and great advice when our return flight seats were changed. We would absolutely recommend the company, particularly if you are looking for something a little different but special.
