Losari Spa Retreat & Coffee Plantation

Overlooking eight volcanoes, the ultra-romantic Losari Spa Retreat & Coffee Plantation in Magelang stands on 22 hectares of a lush coffee plantation secluded high above Central Java. Outdoor adventure seekers can ride elephants, tour ancient temples, play golf and tennis, raft, fish, mountain bike, hike, and tour the countryside aboard a 1902 steam train.

The 1920's Dutch Colonial plantation still produces high- quality organic robusta coffee beans. The centerpiece Club House, once the home of the plantation's owners, now features high tea on its sprawling verandas and tourists mingling in the main areas, library and music room. The resort's Hamman, a real Turkish bath, indulges visitors with natural oil massages, scrubs and treatments developed in Javanese royal palaces.

The pampering continues with room service during certain hours and eclectic fusion of Mediterranean gourmet in the resort's Java Red Restaurant and Indonesian nouvelle cuisine in the Java Green Restaurant. The Plantation Bar offers guests cigars, wines, spirits, hors d'oeuvres, billiards and radiant sunsets.

The resort features a spring-fed outdoor pool with swim-up and poolside bars, while instructors on shaded terraces teach yoga and tai chi. Perks also include a tennis club; complimentary breakfasts and Internet access; fitness equipment; business center and conference rooms for 200 people; banquet, wedding and catering services; children's pool and supervised Kids Club day-care services.

Designed in traditional Javanese style, the resort's 26 air-conditioned, villas offer intricately carved teakwood fixtures and furnishings, verandas, DVD and CD players, Internet access, safes, refrigerators, minibars, bathrobes, and sunken mosaic, red marble, copper and stone bathtubs.

Losari Spa Retreat & Coffee Plantation presents the perfect getaway, where guests seeking sanctuary can relax, sip coffee and admire Central Java's natural beauty, whether from inside a vintage locomotive, aboard elephants or while basking in the sunlight and cool breezes on the verandas.
