Exclusive resort with a view of Borobudur
The unique Amanjiwo, which means peaceful soul, overlooks Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist monument. It is wonderfully peaceful, nestled in the rural area of Central Java. To the rear, there is a stunning backdrop of the Menoreh Hills, and in front, views over the Kedu plain extending to four volcanoes on the horizon. The resort’s architecture on various levels is clearly inspired by Borobudur.
The exclusive Amanjiwo has only 33 suites, of which about half feature a private pool. Choose from a suite with views of the rice fields or of Borobudur. The beautiful infinity pool, surrounded by lush rice fields and offering a view of Borobudur, invites you to enjoy a few laps. It’s not only delightful dining in the resort’s restaurants, but both also provide fantastic views of Borobudur.
Amanjiwo is renowned for the extraordinary experiences they can organize for their guests. Besides a visit to Borobudur, they are eager to introduce you to the local culture and nature in the surroundings.
