Yogyakarta

A must-visit for art lovers. The late Affandi was one of Indonesia’s most respected painters, and the extensive works exhibited here are said to be the ones that were dearest to him. The riverside museum, with its traditional vernacular architecture, was also designed by the artist himself.

Run by leading artists, this multi-concept venue started life as a restaurant before expanding to include a performance space, an art gallery and a bookstore. Today, it hosts regular concerts, talks, and exhibitions, and also sells locally-made crafts.

Perched on the roof of Green Host Hotel, this stylish restaurant and lounge has a hip sensibility and tropical touches. Try its signature Kembang Kranggan martini – a heady blend of gin, vodka and fresh lime juice, topped with rosemary.

Housed within an elegant Javanese mansion, this upmarket restaurant was once a prince’s residence. Be treated like royalty and savour dishes said to have been among the royal favourites, such as the grilled catfish roll with turmeric sauce.

Widely considered as one of the best restaurants in the city, Gadjah Wong offers three separate dining areas. Feast on an array of cuisines in the international section, or go al fresco in the garden. Don’t miss the Indonesian section, where you can dine against a backdrop of traditional live music.

This café opens early in a city that likes to sleep in, making it a prime breakfast spot. Fuel up with sandwiches, pastas, desserts and coffees, while admiring the quirky bear-themed murals splashed across its walls.

This elegant lounge is located just off the main foyer of the Phoenix Hotel. Curl up on a comfy leather couch with a postprandial cognac, and study the black and white photographs on the walls depicting Jogja in the last century.

This bi-weekly market is situated in front of the socially conscious vegetarian restaurant of the same name. You can find a range of local products, from soap to salt, as well as street food. Open on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 10am to 1pm.

Tucked away in the middle of the bustling Jalan Prawirotaman, this small, rustic store offers uniquely designed and locally produced artworks, handicrafts and lifestyle goods that are not just practical but also embody the creative spirit of Java.

Despite a location near the city centre, the poolside villas have a serene, bucolic vibe. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, sporting their own private terrace and featuring antique furniture and traditional Javanese art.

This 94-room boutique hotel encapsulates the best of the city, combining Dutch colonial architecture with a central location. Service is stellar, and you’ll get to enjoy fantastic views of Mount Merapi from your private balcony.
