Banyan Tree Group continues its global expansion with the opening of Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta on Indonesia's island of Java. Inspired by Asian sensibilities and the beauty of simplicity, Garrya offers serene spaces designed for a simplified lifestyle, cultural immersion, and authentic experiences.

Nestled on the banks of Denggung River in Gabugan Village, a serene corner in Yogyakarta's Sleman Region, Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta draws design inspiration from Javanese culture and Yogyakarta's iconic temple, connecting guests with the rich traditions and history of the region. The resort features 24 modern villas, including a two-bedroom villa with a full-size swimming pool, gazebo, jacuzzi, and spacious living room. These villas offer clean lines, private plunge pools, and a blend of Javanese heritage and contemporary sensibilities, making them perfect for solo travelers seeking tranquility or those looking to reconnect with loved ones.

Mindfulness and wellbeing are central to the Garrya experience. The resort's four-room 8lements Spa specializes in indigenous wellness therapies rooted in Asian wisdom, and guests can join group wellbeing activities, from poolside yoga to dance workshops and gym workouts.

Culinary offerings at Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta celebrate the rich and flavorful cuisine of Yogyakarta, featuring traditional Javanese dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. The "Refresh" all-day dining venue, "Kopi Zop" lounge and bar, and a private dining room offer delightful dining experiences. Guests can also explore traditional arts and crafts or visit Yogyakarta's iconic Sultan's Palace, with its open-air pavilions hosting Javanese dance performances and gamelan concerts. Don't miss a visit to Kotagede, an upmarket suburb known as the hub of the silver industry.

Philip Lim, Senior Vice President at Banyan Tree Group, shared his excitement about Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta and the brand's expansion plans, which include openings in Vietnam and China.
