Family hotels and homes in Pacitan

Best place, best people and best food in Town. Love it.

Staying at Villa Hembers isn’t just about surfing or escaping into nature—it’s about becoming part of a family. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed not only by the wonderful owners, Cuboh and Wiwin and their children, but also by their circle of family and friends who make this place truly special. Whether it’s life wisdom from Bege, the calm support of Julian, or the contagious energy of Wiwin and Siti, everyone plays a part in making your stay unforgettable. The atmosphere is uniquely homely—relaxed, nurturing, and full of genuine connection. There’s always someone around to talk to, to guide you, or to simply share a meal with. I arrived with a deep fear of water after a traumatic experience in Portugal, but thanks to Cuboh’s surf lessons and the gentle encouragement from his team, I not only got back on the board, I fell in love with the ocean again. But the magic doesn’t stop there. One evening, I was invited to a dinner and when I offered to help, I was gently guided by Siti through the cooking process—turning it into an unexpected and delightful “cooking class”. I learned so much and felt genuinely included in something special. Another day, we walked the beach after sunset, keeping an eye out for turtle nests—part of the small but meaningful conservation efforts that Cuboh and his friends are involved in. The location is perfect: just a 2-minute walk to the quiet, untouched part of the beach, and only a short ride to the livelier tourist spots if you feel like a change. At night, you’re serenaded by the uninterrupted sounds of nature—no mosques, no traffic, just a wild, beautiful cocoon of chirps and waves. I came to Villa Hembers alone, hoping to make a shift in my life after a long stretch of career burnout. My partner stayed at home, but I never felt lonely. Not for a moment. This place holds space for you in exactly the way you need it, without even asking.

We traveled as a family with 3-adults and 1-child (10yrs). One of the adults is an eldery women (70+), who can walk, but very slowly. That being said, after a long 3/4 hour ride from Jogja, we received a warm welcome by both owners (Dewi and Rod), who (including the staff) were amazing during the whole stay. Nothing was too much to ask, and they often comfortably checked-in with us if we needed anything during the 4-nights we stayed. They made sure we received a modern new villa close to the main area and is all same leveled floor, ideal and very thoughtful. The beds, supplies, WiFi, smart-tv and bathroom where all well maintained and hygienic. From our villa, within 30 steps, we entered the open-air-with roof restaurant, were we had our wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinners while having them we enjoyed the scenery including the amazing ocean and big waves. We could just sit anywhere and enjoy the waves for hours. When exiting the resort on the beach-side, we crossed a small walking path and were right at the large beach and ocean. This is the definition of beachfront! It was absolutely not crowded whatsoever, even if you share the whole beach with some locals, fishermen and surfers from the area. If you are not an experience surfer or swimmer, it is not recommended to enter the water too deeply, as the waves (ombak) are very strong. Just be cautious and careful. Being in the shallow water at the right time is so fun and refreshing. We also made use of the resort pool, which was also modern, well maintained and clean. Beds are available pool side. The transportation to Jogja was done via their local driver, who brought us in a well maintained and modern vehicle safely to the airport. As it is said, I could not agree more: Hard to find, harder to leave! We make sure we visit again if we are in the area some day in the future. Thanks for having us!

The nice atmosphere... I really felt at ease

The most incredible views i've ever experienced. Didn't have to share with anyone else. The house was super well stocked and I didn't have to leave. Breakfast was super good, service was impeccable. It's worth every single penny.
