Amanjiwo Overlooks the Ancient Temple of Borobudur

Amanjiwo, whose name means Peaceful Soul, overlooks the UNESCO World Heritage site of Borobudur in the heartland of Central Java, the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world. The resort's limestone pavilions are arranged in a natural amphitheater facing the ancient monument, framed by volcanoes and rice fields, in one of the most spiritually charged settings of any Aman.

Guest pavilions feature four-pillar beds on raised terrazzo platforms, garden terraces, and private lounging balé, with some adding private pools. The resort brings Javanese culture to life through programming such as a festive pasar malam, a lantern-lit night market with local delicacies and traditional music.

Access to Borobudur at dawn, before the crowds, is among the defining experiences of a stay, connecting guests to a monument more than a thousand years old. Amanjiwo remains one of the most contemplative retreats in the Aman collection.
