A 24-villa riverside resort on the Denggung River north of Yogyakarta, opened January 2024 as Banyan Tree Group's Garrya wellness brand debut in the city.
Last updated August 12, 2026
Garrya Bianti Yogyakarta opened in January 2024 in Gabugan Village, Sleman -- north of central Yogyakarta -- as Banyan Tree Group's first Garrya-branded property in the city, a wellness-focused brand built around low-density, design-led villas. The resort has 24 villas along the Denggung River, including Pool View, River View, and expansive Two-Bedroom villa categories, each with a private pool, alongside an infinity pool, the 8lements Spa, and the all-day Refresh restaurant serving Indonesian and international menus. Guest reviews consistently praise the villa privacy and design -- blending traditional Javanese touches with contemporary interiors -- along with attentive staff and the restaurant's Indonesian and Thai dishes, though a handful of reviews note the European menu items underperform relative to the Asian ones, and the riverside Sleman location sits a deliberate distance from Yogyakarta's main tourist sites. As a newer property, review volume is still relatively limited.
