Bored of the same old vacation routine of eating and shopping? Looking for a relaxing holiday with lots to learn? This pretty much sums up our mood going into the new year. So we decided to do something different for our annual vacation this year - a trip to a coffee plantation!
Why the sudden inspiration? It all started with a TV interview on Bloomberg featuring Dilmah's Merrill and Dilhan Fernando, talking about staying on their tea plantations. Well, we love our coffee and Asia has some of the best coffee plantations in the world.
So here's the shortlist for now, in no particular order:
1. Mesastila
Located in the center of a coffee plantation, Losari Spa Retreat And Coffee Plantation offers villa-style accommodations, an outdoor infinity pool and a luxurious spa among its facilities.
Surrounded by lush, natural surroundings, Losari Spa Retreat And Coffee Plantation is accessible via Semarang, Jogjakarta and Solo Airports.
