Java Holidays

Indonesia’s most populated island and location of its capital city Jakarta, our Java holidays are a mesmerising blend of the modern and the traditional. This is an island of volcanoes and rice paddies, vibrant cosmopolitan cities and a history that reaches back to the dawn of time. Jakarta is the heartbeat of the island. Visit the Presidential Palace and Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in Southeast Asia, then travel south to Bogor with its outstanding botanical gardens which house more than 5000 species of orchid and the colonial city of Bandung which is framed by high volcanic peaks. Eastern Java, however, is the highlight. Visit the Sultan’s Palace in Yogyakarta, explore the ancient Hindu temples at Prambanan, visit the incredible Buddhist Borobudur Temple and watch sunrise over the still-active Mt Bromo.
