Kalibaru Cottages

East Java


A large, well-run resort boasting expansive, manicured grounds with a T-shaped pool fringed by palm trees. Faux-traditional cottages are spacious and have semi-open-air showers. The restaurant is a bit pricey. It’s 4km west of town on the Jember road. Staff can organise good local tours of plantations and cottage industries.
