MesaStila Resort and Spa

Our stay at MesaStila was amazing! It really is a place that lets you unwind and enjoy peace and quiet. The place is surrounded by jungle with a gorgeous view of volcanos on the horizon. The villas are authentic homes that have been saved and brought here and are truly gorgeous inside. So a perfect mix of nature and culture. We also enjoyed our Javanese massage, highly recommended! The food was great as well. The service was above and beyond, you really felt like you were with family. Our only regret, staying only 3 nights. I would recommend 5-7 if you’d also like to sightsee. The next time we will do that! It’s a bit remote for taxi apps so be sure to organize any tours with mesastila or someone else before. The locals tours of the coffee plantation and the village were also amazing. This is the place of a lifetime.

We had a wonderful stay at MesaStila recently. The room and view was beautiful and the staff was all fantastic. It was a little far from some of the main sites in the area, so best to stay there if you plan to take advantage of their tours and relax at their spa. We also had a great experience with the free photo session done by their in-house photographer, Dinda from Loft Moments. The session was free and included a printed/framed photo, but we purchased some digital prints as well since they were great. Dinda was professional and really patient with our kids, and the pictures will be a great memory, as photo shoots are not something that we normally do. Highly recommended!

Spending two nights at MesaStila, where history meets comfort and luxury. The property itself is a former plantation, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully conserved by the MesaStila team. During our stay, we enjoyed a complimentary photo session by Loft Moment. The hospitality was excellent, and the results were truly amazing—thank you!

Staying at MesaStila Resort & Spa was truly enjoyable! The room was clean and comfortable, with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views. Breakfast was delicious and varied — a perfect way to start the day. There are plenty of lovely photo spots around the resort, making the whole stay memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and unwind while enjoying nature. 🌿✨

An Unforgettable Stay at MesaStila Resort 🌿✨ Our experience at MesaStila was truly memorable! The resort is incredibly spacious, and during check-in, heavy rain greeted us—but the team made sure we were comfortable by providing a buggy ride to our villa and even umbrellas. The villa itself was cozy and perfect for our family, who loves peace and tranquility. There were plenty of activities to enjoy during our stay: ☕ Morning Coffee Tour – From planting to manual processing, and finally tasting their freshly brewed coffee. It was such an inspiring experience for both adults and kids! 🚶 Afternoon Village Walk – Exploring the surrounding village, learning how locals produce plywood and teakwood, and being warmly welcomed by the community. If you visit during the right season, you might even get fresh durians or avocados from the locals! We also joined a Loft Moment photo session, and the results were stunning—very professional! 🍽 Food – From breakfast to afternoon tea, everything was delicious. We stayed for two nights and experienced both buffet and à la carte dining. We personally preferred the à la carte for its flavors. Hospitality? Absolutely top-notch! The staff were incredibly friendly, making our overall experience exceptional. MesaStila is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by coffee plantations, durian trees, and pristine nature. A small note: we were charged an extra IDR 350K per night for an additional child (usually 2 adults + 2 kids are covered), but they did set up a sofa bed as an extra bed, so it worked out fine. Perhaps adding more resort activities would make longer stays even more exciting. Thank you, MesaStila, for an unforgettable family holiday! We hope to return for another amazing getaway soon. 🌸

What a wonderful stay—Relaxing getaway from the city! We got to capture moments with LoftMoments which was such a nice touch to remember the trip. The pics came out wonderful so we’re very thankful to Dinda and Arih :)

Tucked away deep in Central Java, wrapped in misty hills and coffee plantations. It’s part of the Mr & Mrs Smith collection, and definitely ticks the boutique box: charming, peaceful, and rich with local character.||The villa is big. Like, big big. Lots of space to breathe, unwind, and pretend you’ve escaped the world. Service is warm and homey — more like being looked after by a gracious host than a hotel team.||But where it fell a little short for me was the dining and inclusion. When you’re this remote, the food needs to really sing and other amenities included— and while it wasn’t bad, it never quite hit the high notes.||All in all, MesaStila is a lovely one-off escape — perfect for a digital detox or a romantic hideaway. But as beautiful as the setting is, I’m not rushing back. A nice getaway, just not one I’ll be putting on repeat.

The resort looks lovely (like the photos) and the staff are very kind and helpful. However, it doesn’t live up to the promised quiet retreat. If the first objective of a hotel is to get you a decent nights sleep this place doesn’t do it. There are several mosques in the vicinity that will wake you up at 4am and keep you awake for 30-45 minutes. And you can’t have a siesta during the day, for the same reason. So at the same time that it is too remote for you to go anywhere else to eat, it is not remote enough to allow you to actually rest. The food is decent, but very expensive for the area. One course costs the same as a full meal for 4 in Yogya. There is a small cafe beside the coffee plantation that has a limited range of food, but at least has Indonesia prices. It’s a lovely place for a coffee or lunch, but it closes at 6pm in the week, and they don’t advertise the fact that this cheaper option exists. The hamman is not included, which is amazing given the daily rate. The staff are not always in the right place at the right time. In the evening the bar was often not staffed and in the afternoon the staff were not always at the pool, so we had to dig around for towels. There were cockroaches in the bathroom in spite of the daily cleaning efforts, but the villas are pretty open to| the elements, so maybe not surprising. All in all, given the very high cost of our stay, I expected to come away more rested. I won’t be going back.
