Amanjiwo
FOR A SOUL AT PEACE
An expression of its name ‘Peaceful Soul’, Amanjiwo sits overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Borobudur. The resort offers privileged access and exclusive private tours at dawn, alongside other historical, natural, and cultural attractions. In this serene setting of Central Java’s heartland, a spiritual experience of bliss awaits.
EXPERIENCES TO BE DISCOVERED
Ancient temples
Take a morning tour of the surrounding temples, amid the sunrise and fading dew. A guided tour of Borobudur is a must, along with Gedong Songo and the Dieng Plateau. Marvel at the Ramayana carvings of Prambanan, the 3m tall Buddha at Mendut Temple, and the tiny Pawon Temple, all dating from the 8th and 9th century.
Cultural journeys
Learn about the ornate Aksara Jawa script, enjoy a culinary expedition with intimate artisanal dining, and immerse in the rich heritage of healing traditions and spiritual cleansing ceremonies. Amanjiwo’s curated journeys offer opportunities to soak in Java’s cultural wealth, so you can return home with a renewed spirit of reverence.
Yogyakarta
Less than an hour’s drive from Amanjiwo, Yogyakarta offers full immersion into Indonesian heritage. Wander Kotagede’s maze of narrow streets lined with silversmiths, explore the arts from the traditional Sonobudoyo Museum to the contemporary ArtJog exhibition, and go deeper with an exclusive workshop in Wayang Kulit puppetry or discover the striped fabric heritage of Lurik.
Captivating Vesak
Specially arranged for the festival marking the major milestones in Buddha's life, this is an enriching experience of Vesak. Between breakfast at an open-air pavilion and an enlightening lecture, Amanjiwo guests can join in the joyous processions, chanting, symbolic releasing of lanterns, and receive blessings by monks before a special Vesak banquet.
Journey through Java by train
If you’re heading to Amanjiwo via Jakarta, you can opt for a fascinating seven-hour train journey onboard the regal Kereta Api Wisata. Along the way, resident anthropologist Patrick Vanhoebrouck shares insights into Javanese culture and the historical sites. Available on a private charter basis for groups with a minimum of eight guests.
Grounding spiritual journey
In the heart of the volcano-encircled Kedu Plain, embark on a three-night retreat that incorporates temple visits, spa treatments, and guided meditation. Experience personalised Javanese cleansing rituals, from Tolak Balak to Ruwatan, and finish with a picnic breakfast on the Progo River banks, complete with clarity of mind and spirit.
