"Laid back living by the beach"
Villa Monyet is surrounded by a lush green, organic flowering garden with beautiful views of the
beach, Batu Karas bay, and the
more distant mountains.
It is a place where you can relax by the beach, swing on the hammock, or laze on the daybed, while reading
your favourite books. Or you can opt for something more adventurous, such as surfing, canyoning, trecking, or
cycling.
Our bungalows are inspired by traditional Indonesian
architecture, using local building materials and Batu Karas’ builders; the roof
is made from alang-alang aka palm leaves sourced from the Green Canyon river,
and woven into roofing by villagers from Cijulang. The alang-alang roofing is a
favoured method of roof construction in West Java. The timber is sustainably
grown and milled from a nearby, certified plantation, and the bamboo used
througout the bungalows, is locally grown, and of course, one of the most
sustainable building materials available.
We provide breakfast, with a changeable menu, as well as free
tea, coffee, or drinking water, in our Jungle Kitchen. The Jungle Kitchen is set in the middle
of our small , living, teakwood forest, hence the name, and enjoys lovely views
of our garden and bungalows. If
you feel like cooking, please do, or just kick back and enjoy a coffee and a
chat.
Batu Karas is a great place for would-be surfers, beginners
and more advanced surfers. Advanced surfers can ride the reef break, right in
front of our bungalows. For less experienced surfers, and beginners, the point
break at Lego Pari, about 15 minutes walk from Villa Monyet, is ideal.
For a taste of local culture try Villa Monyet’s famous
barbeque night. The way we eat is
unique; nasi liwet or rice cooked in a traditional wok with special spices, is served up with the freshest, most
succulent local barbequed fish, crabs and prawns on huge banana leaves at one
long, single table. Everyone eats
together, without spoons or forks, only hands, often fighting over the best
part of the fish, or the last bit of sambal, just as monkeys do. That’s why our
place is called Villa Monyet.
We also offer surfing lessons, trips to secret surf spots, a
sunset river cruise, a green canyon tour, and a green valley tour. Or you can
do your own tour around Batu Karas on our classic, antique bicycles.

1.Reef Break bungalow,

4.Family surf Bungalow
