Accommodations

Amanjiwo (peaceful soul) overlooks the Unesco World Heritage Site of Borobudur in the rural heartland of Central Java. Located in one of the most scenic parts of Indonesia, the 33-suite resort rests within a natural amphitheatre: the Menoreh Hills rise up behind, and four volcanoes grace the Horizon.

An hour’s drive from Yogyakarta Airport, Amanjiwo offers guided excursions to the 9th-century Borobudur – the world’s largest Buddhist sanctuary and the inspiration behind Amanjiwo’s design. Mimicking the tiered nature of Borobudur’s metaphorical ascent to Nirvana, Amanjiwo consists of a series of descending stone arcs, and is lapped by rice paddies at its base. A grand limestone rotunda marks the resort’s highest tier, where lofty stone columns perfectly frame Borobudur.

Amanjiwo’s 33 Suites lie in two crescents below the central rotunda, all offering views of Borobudur or the surrounding rice terraces. Each offers a garden terrace and 16 have private swimming pools. The Dalem Jiwo Suite presents two bedrooms and a 17-metre swimming pool.

The resort’s main swimming pool offers exceptional views of Borobudur. Surrounded by rice paddies and overlooked by banyan trees, the 40-metre infinity pool lies adjacent to the Pool Club where light meals and drinks are served. Other dining facilities are situated within the rotunda.

Activities & Service

Dining
From its perch against the Menoreh Hills, Amanjiwo overlooks the fertile Kedu Plain, where volcanic soil nourishes verdant rice paddies and an abundance of fresh produce. Handpicked daily by Amanjiwo’s chefs, most of the ingredients served in the resort’s Javanese, Indonesian and international dishes are sourced from Amanjiwo’s organic garden and local farms.

Whether dining on the Restaurant’s spectacular terrace with views of Borobudur, at the Pool Club, amid rice paddies or beside Selogriyo temple – Amanjiwo’s cuisine reflects the authenticity and welcoming conviviality of Central Java, known for its generosity and flavour.

The Pool Club
Set alongside Amanjiwo’s 40-metre, emerald-hued, infinity swimming pool, this casual dining venue serves breakfast, light lunches, drinks and snacks from its colonnaded, semi-circular terrace. Guests can sip their drinks or dine on Indonesian and international fare while enjoying tranquil views over the pool to the manicured lawns, lush rice paddies and banyan trees beyond.

Restaurant and Bar
The hypnotic strains of the gamelan resonate through the colonnaded Restaurant & Bar and out onto its magnificent terrace, with views over rice fields to Borobudur and the volcano-fringed horizon. Serving Indonesian and international cuisines for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Restaurant & Bar also offers a traditional Makan Malam degustation dinner menu updated daily along with a locally-inspired cocktail menu.

The Terrace
This elegant venue is perfectly positioned for those stopped in their tracks by the awe-inspiring views that greet guests on arrival. Simply settle into a chair and order your refreshments of choice, then continue to drink in the vista that takes in the entire Kedu Plain ringed by smoking volcanoes and Borobudur rising dramatically in the foreground.

Experience

Borobudur Temple
The 9th-century Unesco World Heritage Site of Borobudur is the world’s largest Buddhist temple and is amongst the most well-preserved, together with Angkor Wat. Borobudur can be reached with a pleasant 25-minute cycle, or five-minute drive from Amanjiwo. A dawn visit is highly recommended for witnessing the sunrise, giving guests ample time to learn the secret meanings of this masterpiece and bringing to life the knowledge contained within its reliefs.

Temples around Amanjiwo
The best time to visit the sacred temples that surround Amanjiwo is in the morning, as the sun slowly rises higher in the sky and the morning dew begins to disappear. From the resort, just a short drive takes guests to the Kedu Valley, where, accompanied by an Amanjiwo Guide, several Hindu and Buddhist temples can be explored, dating back to the 8th and 9th century.
