Amanjiwo is a spectacularly luxurious hotel, set within the Kedu valley of the Menoreh hills, in Central Java. The architectural design is inspired by the sensual lines of Borobudur with its main cupola built to resemble a classic pantheon for the gods. Backed by the rainforest of the surrounding hills and paddy fields spread out in front, the resort lies within view of the mystical stupas of Borobudur and four volcanoes adding a scenic touch to this beautiful property.
Accommodation comprises of 37 freestanding suites that radiate in two crescents from Amanjiwo’s central rotunda. Each suite comes with outdoor soaking tubs and thatched-roof pavilion with a daybed, and many have private pools. Dining options include a choice of traditional Balinese and international cuisine in an elegant restaurant with inspiring views of Borobudur. For relaxation there is an infinity swimming pool and a spa offering a two hour 'mandi lulur', beauty programme.
The highlight of your stay at Amanjiwo is of course the Borobudur Temple, the largest Buddhist temple complex in Central Java. Signature tours are conducted at dawn, when the sun reveals the many faces of the sanctuary and the stunning scenery around it. Guests can experience travelling there by andong, a horse cart and later take elephant safaris around Dagi Hills. Other activities include trekking in the Menoreh Hills and visiting local villages.
