Ever wondered what it’s like to dine inside a Boeing 737-400? Welcome to Keramas Aero Park a unique restaurant in Bali. This isn’t your average eatery. It’s a repurposed airplane nestled in a rice paddy overlooking the sea. Keramas Aero Park is a 40-minute drive from Ubud. The plane was once abandoned dirty and dusty. Now it’s a luxurious restaurant.
Keramas Aero Park opened in October 2016. It’s become a popular attraction. People come to dine in the plane itself. They can also explore the wing and cockpit. The plane is suspended on steel stilts two stories above the ground. The interior is lit with cool blue fluorescence. Waiters dress in flight attendant attire. Large wooden tables and chairs replaced the usual airplane seats. Be careful though the baggage compartment is low. You might bump your head.
The Inflight Restaurant offers an extensive menu. There are 29 main courses to choose from. Forget the usual chicken or beef dilemma. You can even order pizza. They also serve local dishes like Bebek Betutu. The Balinese pizza has a sambal matah sauce. It’s topped with chicken onion and mozzarella cheese. Other options include a Chicken Melt with green mashed potato. For dessert there’s a three-tiered caramelized fruit pancake.
But the dining experience is just the beginning. Keramas Aero Park offers more. You can walk out onto the plane’s wing. Take a photo with the ocean in the background. If heights bother you stay near the base of the wing. It’s broad enough for several people to stand side by side. The cockpit is also open to explore. You can even try on a captain’s hat. Most of the controls are replaced with printed canvas.
Down on the ground is the Aero Garden. It features open-air dining near a helipad. The menu here differs from the Inflight Restaurant. It includes Balinese dishes like Nasi Goreng Bumbi Bali and international fare like Fettuccini Carbonara. There’s a playground with swings made from logs.
