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. Our stay at Indigo was fantastic. The location is perfect. But what truly makes Indigo special are the people. Ari and Uyan gave us a warm welcome, arranged everything we needed and made us feel at home. Because of them, we ended up booking two extra nights. And then there’s John, co-owner and creator of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time: fresh and full of flavor! We wholeheartedly recommend Indigo. That’s entirely thanks to the fantastic work of Ari, Uyan and John, who, with their warmth, humor, and hospitality, made our stay unforgettable. Thanks to them, we felt truly welcome and left with beautiful memories of Karimunjawa.
