Beautiful Glamping Experience at World-Class G-Land

Jawa Jiwa sits in one of Java’s largest National Parks, a long way away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Indonesia. This beautiful jungle camp offers Glamping Tents and facilities just a stone’s throw from one of Indonesia’s most consistent waves, G-Land.

The Resort

Jawa Jiwa is located in a remote and beautiful national park on the Indonesian island of Java. Here, the jungle runs right up to the edge of the reef with white sand beaches running as far as the eye can see.

With all the features you would want from a glamping experience, the camp has a dining area with Wifi and television, a games room with pool, and access to one of the world’s best waves, G Land! This is the perfect spot for solo surfers looking to challenge themselves, couples looking for a romantic getaway and familes wanting to experience Indonesian jungle and surf in comfort!

Waves at Jawa Jiwa

First discovered in the late 70s by wayward surfers from Bali, G-Land has become a mecca for surfers looking for powerful Indonesian tubes. The reef stretches for almost a kilometer with a few distinct sections breaking.

Kongs, breaks at the top of the reef and offers big walls and the occasional cover-up on the right swell. This picks up the most swell and almost always has a wave! Further down the reef is Money Trees, a quality left running for a few hundred meters in the right conditions with plenty of speed!

Once the swell starts to build, Launching Pads starts to break, which leads into the section G-land is famous for, Speedies. This unrelenting barrel offers some of the hollowest tubes in Indonesia and will test even the most expert tube rider! There are also other more beginner and intermediate-friendly waves in the area to keep all levels happy.

Why We Love Jawa Jiwa

World Class G-land breaking on your doorstep. This ultra-consistent area offers incredible waves for all levels.

The Accommodation

Jawa Jiwa offers glamping tents that offer real comfort and class in the Indonesian jungle. Erected on a concrete base, these semi-permanent glamping tents are closer to a luxury resort room than what you would expect camping! Each room is fitted with a large and comfortable king-size bed, beautifully curated furniture, and everything you need for a comfortable trip.

The rooms all have well-sized ensuite bathrooms with hot and cold running water. All rooms are fully airconditioned for your comfort. The camp also offers more basic rooms for the budget traveler!

The Cuisine

Jawa Jiwa’s restaurant offers freshly cooked meals and snacks throughout the day. The camp has a constantly changing menu featuring both western and local Indonesian dishes. They cater for all tastes with meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan options being available. If you have any dietary requirements, please let us know beforehand, so the camp can get supplies before your arrival!

There is a fully stocked bar, so you can enjoy a cold beer at sunset and a snack menu if you are feeling hungry at all between meals.

Activities

The main focus of most travelers to the camp is surfing the world class waves in the area, we suggest exploring the breaks further west for some fun rights and lefts. In the national park there are hikes, animals to spot, bird watching and other tours available!

Wildlife

Jawa Jiwa’s unique position within a national park means that there is wildlife everywhere! From monkeys running around the camp, to wild boar, deers roaming the beach, there have even been sightings of panthers in the park, This is a great spot all nature lovers!

Getting There

You can reach the resort by fast boat from Bali (approx 2 hours) or by taking a taxi and traveling overland (approx 8 hours). We can arrange either depending on your schedule and budget requirements.

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
