Luxury Holidays At Amanjiwo

Imagine the scene: a natural amphitheatre with beautiful limestone hills rising behind, a sweeping plain in front, four sacred volcanoes gracing the horizon and, at its heart, Amanjiwo. Add the sight of Borobudur, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world, framed by the resort's entrance, and you cannot fail to be soothed by the all-pervading calm here. Mirroring its unique neighbour, the resort's guest suites radiate outward in two deep crescents, rimmed by flower-bedecked walls, while highlights include thatched pavilions with daybeds, four-poster beds, outdoor sunken baths and private pools.

Why Amanjiwo is so special...

Culture & History

As the morning mist clears and the sun rises above the surrounding volcanoes, it reveals the spiritual and almost inconceivably beautiful Borobudur, the world's largest Buddhism monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur's six platforms are beautifully decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 life-size Buddha statues, which have survived Gunung Merapi's eruptions and the 2006 earthquake, keeping it as mysterious and striking as it would have been 1,200 years ago. Visit Hindu temples dating back to the 7th and 8th centuries on Dieng Plateau and the ancient site of Prambanan, which provides incredible views of Hindu temples dotted across the plain.

Spa Breaks

A range of Javanese and traditional beauty treatments are available at Amanjiwo, some of which incorporate the ancient holistic Jamu method of healing. These can be enjoyed in the privacy of guest suites or in the specially designed spa suite, which has twin massage tables and an outdoor kubuk for relaxing afterwards with spicy ginger tea. The two-hour Mandi Lulur is a highlight and follows the traditional Javanese preparation of a princess on the eve of her wedding. Facials, massages and cream baths, as well as a masculine version of Mandi Lulur, are also available.

Climate

Like much of Indonesia, Java’s climate has two distinct seasons: wet season, from October to April, and dry season – the best time for exploring this captivating island - that falls between May and September. As such a huge landmass, Java’s climate also varies between its regions; the western and mountainous areas see significantly more rainfall that the east, whilst the south and centre of the island tend to be cooler than the north. These temperatures remain fairly constant throughout the year however, with averages of 28°C across the island.

Getting There

Please contact our Travel Consultants for flight details.

Cities

Though (justifiably) stunning natural beauty and ancient spiritual sites may spring to mind when you think of Java, the island’s cities are truly captivating. The capital of Indonesia, Jakarta is a dynamic city with numerous faces; visit the country’s top museums and countless sleek malls, before sampling delicious street food. Soulful Yogyakarta is well worth a visit - a city central to Java’s artistic and cultural heritage; prepare to be amazed as Javanese spirituality, tradition and creativity is artfully combined with an urban hub of cybercafés and malls. Among the least Westernised cities on the island, Solo offers a taste of authentic Java as you stroll along its pretty batik streets.

Borobudur Temple

Known by locals as the ‘Garden of Java’, the Borobodur region boasts a picturesque landscape of unbelievable greenery and quaint rice-growing villages, at the centre of which is the UNESCO World Heritage Borobudur Temple. An utterly spectacular sight to behold, this colossal Buddhist monument – the largest of its kind in the world - has survived Gunung Merapi's eruptions and the 2006 earthquake, keeping the intricately-decorated platforms and over 500 life-size Buddha statues as mesmerising as they would have been over 1,200 years ago.

Volcanoes

Boasting one of the most mesmerising landscapes in the world, Java is characterised by steaming, dramatic volcanoes. Among Indonesia’s most breathtaking sights, the volcanic Bromo region houses the famed Gunung Bromo volcano, standing at 2392m tall - one of three to have emerged from the extensive, 10km crater - whilst just to the south, Gunung Semeru is Java’s highest peak and one of the most active. The Ijen Plateau is a vast, volcanic region comprising of a beautiful, forested alpine area, whilst sandwiched between Java and Sumatra, stands the island of Krakatoa, home to the world-renowned Krakatau peak.

National Parks

An island of utterly breathtaking natural beauty, Java houses numerous National Parks that simultaneously showcase and protect its glorious landscape. The UNESCO World Heritage Ujung Kulon National Park is characterised by lush rainforest, pristine wilderness, virgin beaches and fruitful coral reefs, as well as being the last refuge of one of the world’s most critically endangered species: the one-horned Javan rhinoceros. Boasting magnificent coastal rainforest filled with fascinating wildlife, The Meru Betiri National Park was one of the last refuges of the magnificent Java tiger, whilst Alas Purwo Park is, according to legend, where the earth first emerged from the ocean.
