The final three kilometres of dirt track may be a little taxing, but the reward for arriving at Ijen Resort is one of Java’s most panoramic views over rush rice fields towards Mount Ijen. The accommodation, although quite rustic, is comfortable and functional, making this a great option for an overnight stay before climbing Mount Ijen.
The resort offers serene gardens and a pool area for relaxing, fantastic views and 45 well-appointed rooms that balance modern and traditional styling. Cool temperatures mean rooms are equipped with fans, though air-conditioning is available in Villa Deluxe rooms, which also have outdoor showers. If you like a room-with-a-view, then we recommend a Junior Suite, where you can sit out on your own private terrace overlooking the dramatic landscape.
Ijen Resort has one restaurant and bar, serving a mix of Indonesian and Western food. Overlooking the stepped rice terraces that drop away into the valley below, the swimming pool is a stand-out feature of the property, the perfect spot to spend free time soaking up the sun or enjoying the impressive views.
When to visit
I would definitely recommend upgrading to the Junior Suite. These rooms offer the best views over the mountains and valleys, including a private sit-out from which to enjoy them.
