When not spewing ash and causing mass evacuations, Mount Merapi is quite approachable. People can climb its slopes and drink in extraordinary views from the top of one of world’s most active volcanoes. The Cangkringan Jogja Villas and Spa offers such an experience and much more.
The Cangkringan Jogja Villas and Spa, one of the few hotels located at the foot of Mount Merapi, has a close proximity to the mountain, allowing guests to enjoy flexibility in exploring Merapi and its surrounding area. Those who are fit enough can take an excursion to the mountain by bicycle. Another perk is the Merapi Breakfast. On the slopes of Merapi, your breakfast will be served by the hotel staff on a high dining table. And as you sip your tea, the sun rises. There’s nothing like it. Waking up as early as four o’clock in the morning in order to catch the sun rise is sure to be worthwhile.
Honeymooners, nature and culture lovers and apparently, businesspeople on the lookout for a quiet place for a productive meeting or conference running several days, are the typical guests at Cangkringan, according to Mr. Ruby M. Aries, the resort’s Operations Director. Honeymooners will love the exclusivity and privacy which is provided in each villa compound. Meanwhile, nature and culture lovers enjoy exploring Merapi as well as the Borobudur and Prambanan temples; while business types relish golfing at the Merapi Golf Course after a day of work. Cangkringan has something for everyone.
