A Personal Place in Sidemen.
Aura Cempaka is a small retreat in the hills of Sidemen. Old timber, collected furniture and objects, contemporary comforts, gardens and expansive views give the property its individual character.
With just seven accommodations, the atmosphere is quiet and informal. Come to rest, read, work, practice yoga, explore Sidemen, or simply spend some time doing very little.
