Hotels in Java, Indonesia

Java is Indonesia's most populated island, with a tropical climate that stays hot year-round, averaging 77-86°F (25-30°C). The dry season from April to October is perfect for hiking Mount Bromo's volcanic sunrise or exploring the 9th-century Borobudur temple near Yogyakarta, while the wet season from November to March offers cheaper stays and fewer crowds in Jakarta's old town or at Prambanan's Hindu temples. For a contrast, head to Yogyakarta for batik workshops and street food, or Bandung for cool mountain air and tea plantations.
