Plataran Resorts

Contemporary connection ▪️ Flores, Bromo, Borobudur
Indonesia
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Plataran’s resorts in Indonesia offer the perfect blend of traditional design and contemporary style – you instantly know you’re staying somewhere a bit special.

Private pools and terraces lead directly into lush gardens, wild hillsides or straight onto soft sand, connecting you to your surroundings and tempting you out of your cosy quarters in search of adventure. Each resort has its own distinctive feel, but they all combine secluded, private spaces where you can rest and refresh with activities to engage you with the country’s nature, history and culture.

The rooms and villas are gloriously spacious, there’s plenty of warm wood and white linen to make everything feel classic but cosy, and sensitively placed trellis, walls and greenery to keep pools and terraces completely private. These are spaces where you can press pause for a while, to regroup and reminisce on your city wanders before heading out to explore the best of Indonesia‘s wild side.

Why we love it

“Luxury with a sense of adventure - perfect for hikers and family retreats.”

Plataran Bromo 

Plataran Bromo, Java, Indonesia

Within the misty landscape of East Java, in sight of the volcanic slopes of Mount Bromo, this resort has the classic Plataran combination of cool, classic luxury and a great location – a welcome break between exploring the region’s hills and temples. There’s a rustic, alpine lodge feel to the place, which includes wraparound terraces and bunk-style beds in the family suites. Dine on a range of Indonesian specialities and comfort food from across Asia in the chalet restaurant with views over the hills, and combine a relaxed coffee with Indonesian arts and crafts at the hilltop cultural centre.

Plataran Borobudur 

Plataran Borobudur, Java, Indonesia

Set on a hillside with fantastic views overlooking Borobudur and the valley beyond, the Plataran is hands-down one of the most luxurious resorts in Java. Designed in traditional Javan style, the villas and cabanas are clustered on the wooded slopes to the west of the famous temple, with views onto the site itself and beyond into the mountains. Each villa has a private verandah and garden, with generous private pools appearing further up the hillside. On that note, those slopes are worth a little consideration – the breakfast room, main pool and bar sit at the top of the estate, with lots of steps up from the bottom, so those with limited mobility may want to request accommodation nearer the top.

Plataran Komodo

Plataran Komodo, Indonesia

Right by the sea at Labuan Bajo, the Plataran Resort offers stylish villa accommodation set in green beachside gardens. The villas are built from carved wood, with ornate Indonesian-style terracotta roofs, and private terraces which offer views of the garden or out across the sea to Komodo. Dine on freshly caught seafood, Indonesian specialities and international favourites at the beachfront restaurant, and head to the beachside pool for a cooling dip, and take to the sea for snorkelling and canoeing. Of course, being Plataran, there’s always the temptation to head out on one of their flagship private cruises too…

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.

Rob Clarkson, Vietnam

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.

Ann B, India

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.
