Amanjiwo Resort in Borobudur

Amanjiwo Resort in Borobudur Village is one of five Aman Resorts in Indonesia.

You might know that Aman Resorts are some of the best and most exclusive boutique hotels in the world.

The word amanjiwo literally means restful soul. And this resort is aptly named so.

Do you have a list of dreams?

I do.

And guess what, one of my dreams is to stay at this resort.

Why is it one of my dreams? Well, for obvious reasons.

As with other Aman Resorts, Amanjiwo’s class and service are un-paralleled. It offers truly unique Javanese hospitality.

Its staff members speak fluent English and are professional and extremely friendly. They treat you individually like a royal.

Its location is superb. Imagine waking up in the morning, the sunrise shining through the window.

Standing before you are the majestic 9th century Buddhist sanctuary Borobudur Temple and the centre of Javanese spirituality, Tidar Hill.

You look around. You see spectacular scenery. Sacred mountains of Central Java watch you from a distance. What an incredible arresting view!

You let your senses wander. Let them think if they may, that they have visited an ancient time.

Amanjiwo is really a perfect place for a home away from home.Its unique architecture is amazing. The double row of stone columns that looks out onto the crescent-shaped Terrace is just stunning.

From its amphitheatre-style pool you have breathtaking panoramic views of the Grand Borobudur Temple and the surrounding volcanoes.

This stunning resort has the most beautiful, tranquil and yet luxurious ambience a hotel or a resort can offer.

Amanjiwo offers engaging activities for its guests—kids and adults alike.

From cooking classes to elephant safaris around Borobudur. I’d love to savour its fabulous food while looking at the view and enjoying the soothing gamelan music.

What is also special about Amanjiwo Resort is that it provides a male version of mandi lulur.

Mandi lulur is the traditional Javanese preparation of a princess on the eve of her wedding. So all guests, not just female guests, can be pampered too.

Amanjiwo has been voted as one of the best hotels in the world numerous times by numerous agencies. For example, Top Service in Asia at number 4, Best Small Hotel Under 100 Rooms in the world at number 4 and Top Facilities at number 1.

Don’t you just feel like packing your bags and heading to Amanjiwo?
