I think, Salatiga City in Central Java.

Lampung, Sumatra has most things an expat could need .. except other expats to socialise with. !

Honestly i would avoid many parts of indonesia ,because of the incessant din 5 times a day .

For what it's worth, the largest association of retired folks (and with over 38 million members) is the AARP...the American Association of Retired Persons. 

Each year it provides a list of the 10 best places in the world to retire.  Very often, Bali is on that list. 

Within Bali, I would pick Ubud as the best spot...but I freely admit to my personal bias for Ubud.   ;)
