From Forest Trails to Temple Discovery: Your Family’s Journey Through Indonesia Starts Here

Plataran Menjangan:
Where Wilderness Becomes a Family Memory
In the untouched sanctuary of West Bali National Park, Plataran Menjangan offers more than just a holiday. It is a place where children can gaze up into the forest canopy and hear the calls of exotic birds, where you can watch Menjangan deer calmly grazing just steps from your villa, and where every trail becomes a story your family will share for years to come.
Surrounded by mangroves, tropical forest, and pristine coastline, families can join nature walks guided by experts who reveal the hidden wonders of the wilderness. Along the forest path through our Trails of Life encounter, children often discover butterflies resting on jungle leaves or observe monitor lizards making their way across the trail. This is not a show. This is nature, real and thriving.
Did you know?
West Bali National Park is the only remaining natural habitat of the critically endangered Bali Starling. Known locally as Jalak Bali, this bird’s snowy feathers and blue eye patches make it one of Indonesia’s most beautiful and rare creatures.
At Plataran Menjangan, nature and learning come together. Families can kayak through peaceful mangrove channels, snorkel in the vibrant reefs of Menjangan Island, or enjoy a sunset meal by the ocean. Children can take part in fun nature-based activities under the Plataran Junior program, where they are encouraged to explore, ask questions, and connect with the world around them.
Here, nature becomes a teacher. Curiosity becomes joy. And time spent together becomes something truly meaningful.
Plataran Borobudur:
A Living Story Beside an Ancient Wonder
Tucked among rolling rice fields and framed by volcanoes, Plataran Borobudur offers families a rare experience. It is a place where the wisdom of centuries meets the quiet of the countryside, where morning sunrises begin with temple bells and end with stories shared under starlit skies.
Just minutes away stands Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world’s largest Buddhist monument. Built in the 9th century, this magnificent structure was designed as a symbolic representation of the universe, guiding visitors on a spiritual journey toward enlightenment. As you ascend its stone terraces, thousands of intricately carved relief panels and serene Buddha statues unfold a timeless narrative of wisdom, compassion, and cultural devotion.
Did you know?
Borobudur was built using two million stones, all placed together without cement. Each piece was shaped and fitted with remarkable precision. Today, it stands as one of Indonesia’s proudest symbols of cultural achievement.
Back at the resort, families are welcomed into elegant joglo style villas inspired by Javanese palaces. Here, culture is not just displayed. It is alive. Children can learn to cook traditional recipes, paint with natural dyes during batik sessions, or enjoy a peaceful andong ride along the rice fields, taking in the sights and rhythms of village life at a gentle pace.
From the village to the temple, from stories shared through dance to meals enjoyed beside the silhouette of Mount Merapi, Plataran Borobudur is a place where Indonesia’s heritage is passed down through experience and care.
