Queen of South Hotel

Hello dudes, have you ever see Rum Diary movie? Yep, Johnny Depp is the star. You can remember the house with sea view. But it already in Yogyakarta. The place is located in Parangtritis. There’s a fabulous hotel. Queen of South Hotel. Named Queen of South Hotel because it is very closely related to the legend of Ratu Kidul (Queen of South). Many Javanese people believe that Parangtritis Beach is the gate of Ratu Kidul’s magical kingdom who controls the southern sea. Hotel Queen of the South is a luxurious resort that is named according to this the legend. Unfortunately the resort is now rarely, whereas it used to have a view that could make us breathless.  

Parangtritis is fucking popular than my name ( hahahhaaa). Well, Queen South is  located 27 km south of Yogyakarta and easily accessible by public transportation that operate up to 17:00 pm as well as private vehicles. The afternoon before sunset is the best time to visit this most popular beach in Yogyakarta. But if you arrive sooner, it will not hurt for going up to Tebing Gembirawati (Gembirawati cliffs) behind this beach. From there, we can see the whole area of Parangtritis Beach, southern sea, up to the horizon.

So, dudes. I will tell a secret. Not many people know that on the east side of this cliff , hidden temple ruins. Unlike the other temples located in a mountainous area, Gembirawati Temple is only a few hundred meters from the edge of Parangtritis Beach. To reach this temple, we can pass road uphill near the Hotel Queen of the South and then go down the path to the west for approximately 100 meters. Faintly roar of the ferocious waves of the southern sea could be heard from this temple.

            Sooooo,you can stay in Queen of South Hotel withy no doubt, right?
