Hotels in Java, Indonesia

Java is a bustling Indonesian island with a tropical climate, famous for ancient temples like Borobudur and active volcanoes like Mount Bromo. During the dry season from April to October, you can hike Mount Bromo at sunrise for views of the crater, or explore Yogyakarta's 9th-century Buddhist and Hindu temples without rain interruptions. The rainy season from November to March brings cheaper hotel rates and fewer tourists, making it a good time to visit Jakarta's museums or Surabaya's colonial-era buildings, but expect afternoon downpours that limit outdoor activities.
