Java Cove

West Java


It's not gleaming new any longer, but this modernist beach hotel still delivers serenity and has the prime beachfront location. Tasteful rooms feature reclaimed wood floors, floating dressers, private terraces and wonderful service. The hip yet laid-back pool area is dotted with bean bags and blessed with ocean views. Book through the hotel website for considerable discounts on quoted prices.

Its restaurant (mains 40,000Rp to 90,000Rp) serves tasty salads, pizzas, pasta and terrific fries – called potato wedges – not to mention buckets of icy Bintang.
