Plataran Borobudur Resort & Spa

Borobudur


There are 21 villas comprising this elegant heritage resort, the centrepiece of which is a colonial-era pavilion with a wide verandah that functions as the excellent Patio restaurant. With panoramic views across the paddy fields to Borobudur, guests can enjoy a civilised sunrise with a cuppa in the lobby and pop back to bed before breakfast.

Not to be confused with its 75-room sister resort at the bottom of the hill, Plataran Heritage Borbudur Hotel & Convention Centre, which offers a further three restaurants.
