peaceful elegance | spiritual luxury | breathtaking landscape

Amanjiwo

About the hotel

The hidden gem Amanjiwo, whose name translates as "peaceful soul", lies within a natural amphitheatre in Central Java. Surrounded by the majestic Menoreh Hills and the striking volcanoes of Sumbing, Sundoro, Merbabu and Merapi, nature and architecture inspired by a Buddhist temple come together here in remarkable harmony. 33 elegant freestanding suites, arranged in two sweeping crescents, offer breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Borobudur. Each suite features a private terrace, while some also offer private pools. At Amanjiwo, guests can not only be pampered in the spa with traditional Javanese healing treatments, but also embark on a culinary journey where exquisite Indonesian and Western cuisine are brought together in perfect balance. Amanjiwo is perfectly positioned for discovering the region’s cultural treasures while also finding complete peace and restoration.

Kids & Teens

Amanjiwo warmly welcomes children of all ages, opening up a world of adventure while blending fun with fascinating insights into Javanese culture – whether through kite-making, learning traditional dances or trying classic Javanese games. Younger guests can also let off steam in the spacious Kids’ Room or create all manner of treats, from brownies to chocolate soufflé, together with the resort’s pastry chef. Young adventurers can ride graceful ponies, play tennis or discover the surroundings on a Kids’ Village Trek while listening to captivating stories along the way. To allow parents to enjoy precious time together, a babysitting service is available for the youngest guests.

Experiences & Activities

Immerse yourself in the rich cultural and historical heritage of Central Java, guided by two resident anthropologists through the region’s extraordinary temples and sacred sites – an experience that brings history vividly to life. Explore the captivating surroundings on a hike along the steep slopes of Mount Merapi or through the lush Menoreh Mountains. Join craft workshops, experience cooking demonstrations or listen to experts share their knowledge in fascinating talks. For restorative moments, the spa offers traditional Javanese healing treatments, while grounding yoga sessions invite a sense of calm and balance. On the semi-circular colonnaded terrace, light meals, snacks and refreshing drinks are served throughout the day. The evening gourmet dinner, featuring Indonesian and international dishes in the romantic restaurant, is crowned by breathtaking views of Borobudur. For a particularly authentic experience, enjoy a multi-course homemade Indonesian feast in intimate surroundings at Pak Bilal.

Best time to travel

The best time to visit Borobudur, the famous Buddhist temple complex in Central Java, is from May to September. These months fall within the dry season, making it especially pleasant to explore the remarkable temple complex and its surroundings. The weather is warm but not overly hot, and rainfall is low, making it easier to explore both the historic site and the surrounding landscape. Sunrise over Borobudur is an unforgettable experience at this time of year, when skies are often clear and the views are extraordinary. Exploring the nearby temples of Prambanan and walking through the surrounding green rice fields is also especially enjoyable during the dry season. The dry season is also ideal for experiencing the cultural events and local markets that enrich the region.
