Hotels in Banten, Indonesia
Banten is a province on the western tip of Java, Indonesia, famous for the Krakatoa volcano and the only remaining habitat of the Javan rhinoceros in Ujung Kulon National Park. The climate is tropical, with dry winters (June to October) averaging 82°F (28°C) that let you snorkel around Anak Krakatau's black sand beaches, and rainy summers (November to May) hitting 86°F (30°C) when you can trek to the Baduy tribe's traditional villages or explore the 16th-century Great Mosque of Banten in the old port area. For a change of scenery, head to Anyer for calm waters perfect for kayaking or Carita for live acoustic reggae music at beachside cafes-both areas gear up during the dry season.
