Amanjiwo (peaceful soul) opened in Central Java in 1997 overlooking the historic Buddhist sanctuary of Borobudur, from which it draws its design inspiration. The resort is located within a natural amphitheatre with the limestone Menoreh Hills rising directly behind, the Kedu Plain in front and four volcanoes - Sumbing, Sundoro, Merbabu and Merapi - gracing the horizon.
Indonesian and Western cuisine is served in an open-air setting with panoramic views over the rice fields to Borobudur and its surrounding volcanoes. The specialty of the house is makan malan, a series of classic Javanese selections served in brass dishes.
