Amanjiwo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Moments at Amanjiwo Resort, Yogyakarta
Amanjiwo Borobudur, This resort is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and its location very close to Borobudur Temple.
Even though you have never stayed there, this resort in Magelang, Central Java has a good name among travelers. Not only because of its luxury, Amanjiwo Borobudur offers a different stay experience and can only be found at this resort. Amanjiwo Borobudur is located in Majaksingi Village, or about 3.5 kilometers from Borobudur Temple. The distance is about 40 kilometers to the northwest from the center of Yogyakarta and can be reached by an hour's drive.
From Yogyakarta, take the north on Jalan Magelang-Yogyakarta. Arriving at Muntilan, turn left onto Jalan Moh. Yusuf, then follow the directions to Borobudur Temple. A view that will welcome you when you arrive at Amanjiwo. Amanjiwo's architect, Ed Tuttle, deliberately included elements that resemble Borobudur Temple, which makes this resort truly different from other resorts in the world.
The structure of the building is dominated by light colors of natural limestone with warm wood details and black stone like a temple.
The rooms at this resort are divided into two storied rows that form a semi-circle and face the distant Borobudur Temple. While waiting for the check-in process, you will be welcome to enjoy a welcome drink before being escorted to your room.
In the rooms themselves, there are bathtubs, bathrobes, toiletries, and a Bose audio system for your convenience during your stay there. In addition to swimming pool facilities in each room, Amanjiwo has a main swimming pool which is quite large at the bottom of the resort.
If you don't want to swim, you can relax on a lounger while enjoying the view.
Amanjiwo has also provided 2 hats and a bag that you can use to bring some things to the pool. When the weather is good, you can even see Mount Merbabu from a distance.
Amanjiwo Borobudur also provides a gym and yoga classes for guests.

Borobudur and her guardians Amanjiwo
The two main destinations in Yogyakarta are Borobudur, one of the four great wonders of the ancient East, and her guardian, Amanjiwo. Borobudur is unparalleled, a hilltop Buddhist temple that was buried under volcanic ash for hundreds of years and has been well preserved since it was unearthed. Although it is a Buddhist holy site, it does not prevent people of different religions from around the world from coming to worship.
Amanjiwo, the guardian of Borobudur, is built in a village not far from Borobudur. The hotel has a unique style that complements Borobudur. This stay fulfilled a long-held expectation. Whether it's the lobby, the villa we stayed in, or the pool, each is commendable, and the hotel's service and experience are also very satisfying.
The hotel's Borobudur lecture is not to be missed, which can help you better understand this Buddhist holy site. The hotel's Borobudur tour is also just right, enhancing the overall experience. In addition, we also participated in a food making activity. The hotel's girls were very enthusiastic and helped us make a local meal.
Because it was our anniversary, we booked the hotel's special dinner. In addition to the satisfactory arrangement and food, the local performance throughout the dinner was also impressive. The love story in the performance echoed our celebration and made us very happy!!!
A hotel where many celebrities and politicians have checked in, Aman in Indonesia, is definitely the first choice for honeymoon trips abroad
Amanjiwo in Yogyakarta, Indonesia is referred to by many as 'one of the most perfect Amans', located just a stone's throw away from Borobudur, one of the four ancient wonders of the East. Amanjiwo stands majestically in the mountains, quietly gazing at the volcano and the ancient Borobudur in the mist.
Design
The designer mimics the structure of the pagoda and the technique of stacking huge stones to create a magnificent palace as if in the middle of the water. The lush palm trees and green rice fields complement each other, and every scene is stunning.
Rooms
There are 35 independent suites, arranged in a circular pattern around the temple-like main building, each with a different view, starting from 243 square meters. On the terrazzo platform in the center of the room is a luxurious four-poster bed, from which you can gaze at the rice fields, terraces, and Borobudur, sacred and comfortable.
Dining
The restaurant is surrounded by volcanoes and rice fields, with unlimited scenery. It features a variety of Javanese, Indonesian dishes and Western food. Most of the ingredients come from the hotel's own organic garden and nearby farms. During dinner, there is also a traditional Indonesian band, offering wonderful song and dance performances.
Spa
The spa center is based on the medical and beauty traditions passed down from generation to generation in Java, cleverly integrating Aman's natural skincare series with local ingredients with healing effects, offering a series of spa care projects for health and wellness.
Activities
At dawn, enter Borobudur, which is not yet open to tourists, and greet the sacred sunrise on the pagoda; climb Mount Merapi and enjoy the magnificent scenery; visit Buddhist temples and learn more about the religious and cultural aspects of Java; stroll through the countryside and participate in festival celebrations.
Hotel and World Heritage Site Achievements: Amanjiwo & Borobudur
I can't explain clearly why I chose to go to Java Island in Indonesia, whether it was for the top hotel Amanjiwo or Borobudur. Perhaps they are interdependent, as no one who goes to Amanjiwo would miss a visit to Borobudur!
amanjiwo: This secluded paradise built by Ed Tuttle on the island of Java is completely based on the architectural imagery and concepts of Borobudur. Whether it is the building plan with outer squares and inner circles, gradually descending layers, or the square and diamond-shaped limestone brick walls interwoven like weaving, or the bell-shaped roofs constructed with stupa shapes as the reference object... After combining with Amanresorts' openness and generosity in scale and proportion, it creates an extremely grand and solemn atmosphere that is breathtaking.
🌟Highlight features:
On a sunny day, looking far from the central axis of the hotel lobby, you can see the statues of the Borobudur Temple in the distance, all aligned on one axis. This is the most profound intention of the hotel design.
The hotel offers a famous private guide service to Borobudur, taking guests to admire the sunrise at Borobudur every morning in the hotel's private car. However, please note:
📝Attention tips:
In the past few years, there was an exclusive early access service for Amanjiwo guests to enter the scenic area, which has now been suspended. Even if you stay at the hotel, you cannot go to the scenic area during off-hours, so those who pay to participate in this activity must pay attention to this adjustment. However, because the hotel still provides funding support for the protection of Borobudur every year, and because the hotel's private guide service still enjoys certain privileges.
🚉Transportation guide:
The hotel provides airport shuttle service for Yogyakarta Airport, which takes about 2-3 hours one way.
🛏Room facilities:
Not all rooms are useful, only from the third level room and above have a swimming pool. The room grades are roughly: garden view, Borobudur view, garden view with pool, Borobudur view with pool, and various suites. Because the local weather is hot all year round, it is recommended to choose a room with a pool to enjoy a private swimming pool.
🍽️Food and beverage recommendations:
Hotel restaurant's breakfast is à la carte buffet style, with freshly squeezed juices, various Western breakfast options, and abundant Indonesian breakfast options, especially local delicacies like Indonesian fried rice, which are extremely delicious!
Borobudur: Located in Indonesia in Southeast Asia, Borobudur was built around 750-850 AD by the rulers of the Shailendra dynasty who ruled Java at that time. The name "Borobudur" likely comes from the Sanskrit "Vihara Buddha Ur," meaning "Buddhist temple on the hilltop." Borobudur was built around the 9th century and was buried underground due to a volcanic eruption in 1006 AD. It was rediscovered by the British in 1812 and was able to see the light of day again. Along with China's Great Wall, India's Taj Mahal, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat, it is known as one of the four ancient wonders of the East. As Indonesia's most famous world cultural heritage site, it is worth a special trip!
