Jiwa Jawa Resort Ijen

Perched on the foothills of the Ijen plateau outside Banyuwangi — about 13 km from the city center — this is a gem on a road less travelled. Use it as your base for the Ijen blue fire and the turquoise crater lake, wrapped in mountain views and plantation air.

An eco-minded, Javanese-inspired resort that feels like a warm home away from home. Rooms are simple and inviting with selected units offering air conditioning, complimentary tea and bottled water, LCD TVs and hair dryers; the whole property is smoke-free. Expect calm public spaces like a garden and library plus friendly 24-hour reception and safety deposit boxes.

Dip in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar, wander the garden or hit nearby hiking trails — wake up to cool mountain mornings. On-site perks include a restaurant and bar, gift shop, elevator access for guests with disabilities, car hire and shuttle services, plus free on-site parking.

Stay connected with complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property. Airport transfers and shuttle services can be arranged, and there’s reliable 24-hour reception for smooth arrivals and departures.

Start each day with a complimentary breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. The resort’s restaurant, bar and poolside bar serve a range of options with halal choices available and touches that reflect local Javanese hospitality.
