We are proud to bring you the Inaugural issue of itravelindonesia. The young team felt that it was time to go beyond just booking your discounted hotels and Indonesian domestic flights. So here we are.

In this Animal issue, we take a close look at my favourite destination in Indonesia, the Seminyak district in Bali. For our funky jilbabbers, Islamic fashion makes waves in London’s fashion week.

For the hordes of Indonesians flying to Singapore to shop and visit the doctors, we say there is more to Singapore than just Takashimaya and Mount Elizabeth.

Indonesians are the happiest people in the world. We look at a recent Norwegian survey that tells us that Indonesians smile more than anyone else on the Planet.

It is a modest start for us. In the next year, we will bring together articles that we hope will entertain, inform and bring you back. We hope that you will be a frequent visitor to itravelindonesia. As always, send us your feedback, kudos, and brickbats to cs@itravelindonesia.com.

Happy holidays.

Yasmin Resort and Convention Hotel Bogor



The Yasmin Resort and Convention Hotel is an opulent Hotel built in the European style. With gilded domes and marble flooring, the Yasmin boasts a beautiful heated pool ala the Roman Baths. The hotel is close to the Cibodas Botanical Gardens and sits at an elevation of 1050m above sea level. The restaurant served excellent Sundanese food. The pool terrace is also a lovely place to enjoy afternoon tea.



The rooms however, did not meet our expectations of grandeur. They were very comfortable and well decorated although we expected a little more “wow” after walking through the opulent public areas. They have all the modcons though.
If you are traveling in a larger group, consider the Yasmin villas. They are built in the Tuscan style and come with two or three bedrooms. Children have a dedicated Kids Club with experienced minders.
