Amanjiwo, which translates to “peaceful soul”, is perched above the amazing site of Borobudur, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world. Located on the most important island of the Indonesian archipelago, Java is the heart of Indonesian culture and commerce. Far removed from the chaos of Jakarta, Amanjiwo can be reached via Yogyakarta or Solo with a complimentary hotel transfer.

Set in the midst of a natural amphitheater, Amanjiwo is surrounded by the Menoreh hills and four volcanoes. It also offers the perfect vantage point of Borobudur, the 9th century Buddhist sanctuary that has been preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The design and architecture of the resort reflect the traditional motif of these ancient temples, incorporating several geometric designs throughout the grounds.

In addition to the seclusion and tranquility, Amanjiwo also offers guests a full cultural immersion.
