INDIGO Motel

Karimunjawa

INDIGO Motel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Karimunjawa. Among the facilities at this property are room service and an ATM, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features karaoke and a tour desk.

You can play billiards, table tennis and darts at the hostel, and bike hire is available. My stay in Indigo exceeded all my expectations. Little hostel in one of the best locations of the island (so near to the harbour, between the village and beautiful beaches reachable by walk). Indigo is full of beautiful humans and artists (you will be surprised by amazing singers everyday) and it becomes the soul of Karimunjawa after sunset where many locals also come to hang out. I have been in Indigo during Christmas and they make us feel like home sharing so many dinners and interesting hilarious talks conversations. It was even hard some days to leave Indigo to explore the island! They also make your life easier because you can arrange activities (snorkeling trip, renting snorkeling mask, etc) with them and transport from jepara as well! So recommendable! Tarima kasiih!
