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 Glamping tents offer the most comfortable accommodation available in the National Park. A really cool experience!

The endless white sand beaches! Walking North from the camp you will be alone in the wilderness.

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.

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!

Awave Travel is the best surf travel agency I have ever booked! They are very professional and responsive to my inquiries and are able to match me with a surf trip appropriate to my interests and skill level. They have an outstanding relationship and reputation with the resorts that they work with, which makes a difference in the consumer experience. Above all, the Awave staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas they recommend, as they have actually surfed the spots and stayed at the resorts. For anyone who wants a hassle-free, no worries, relaxing and fun surf adventure, Awave Travel is the way to go!

8 of us stayed at Hudhuranfushi for my 50th birthday celebration. The resort and services were amazing. James and the team at AWAVE stayed in contact from the beginning to end to ensure we had everything we needed. Great experience. Definitely looking forward to booking our next trip with AWAVE in the near future.

We spent amazing days in Morocco in Amouage. Was an amazing stay and the full surf package offered by AWAVE was great.
All the people were very nice and coaches were amazing. Booking was very smooth, answered all my questions and they took care of everything.
I took the coaching package and had a great time and learning. The teacher was great, very patient and explained everything very nice and calm. Felt safe all the time and had a lot of fun as well.
My boyfriend had the guiding package and he also had a great time. He was always taken to the spots that fitted his level and enjoyed the full when conditions were nice.

We stayed at Ayada in Maldives and I can't be more complimentary of AWAVE! Awesome and patient advise over whatsapp on which resort to go to with extremely details local knowledge on surf conditions, wave spots, resort quality, which atolls to go to, etc. I followed their recommendation and it was spot on. Easy booking on short notice before the trip, can't thank James enough!

Our remarkable trip was 12 months in the planning.it was awkward to organize because there was so many people coming and going over our two week chartered cruise.
I can’t speak highly enough of AWAVE and more to the point ,the wonderful Giulia Manfrini. She is so caring and sweet and far above and beyond any travel consultant that I have ever worked with
Thankyou Giulia for all your prompt answers to my gazillion questions
You are “Simply the best”.
Now onto the Carpe Diem
The trip of a lifetime was had by all 20 of us
The Captain and crew worked tirelessly to pander to our every whim
They would not allow us to lift a finger
Our Barmen Shawn and Cook ( still can’t pronounce his name ) were superb, the food was first class and varied and the alcohol flowed like a river
Our Surf guide “Seppe” found waves for us every day except for two while we travelled deep into the central Attols
We were greatful for the rest
We snorkeled with the sharks and visited uninhabited Islands spent an afternoon being spoiled at a high class resort .
All in all an Awsome trip

James helped us organize our trip in April for my partner and I in the Mentawai.
First, lets discuss the service : James was super clear and reactive. We received a list of resorts with different price ranges and he provided all the elements for us to decide based on our needs and budget. We felt very supported for the organization and we even received so advices few days before leaving for packing.
I was a bit afraid as i'm not a good surfer so i reach out many times to understand how I could still try and learn and James always replied very quick and with all the info i need.
Then when we arrive : it was super well organized, everything went smooth and we fell in love with the place and people. We can tell they really worked on their resort selection and travel organization and we trust our next adventure will be as qualitative.
Already recommended their service ;).
