Discover Yogyakarta’s Hidden Gem: Amanjiwo, Aman’s Masterpiece in Indonesia 🇲🇨

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Mount Merapi in Indonesia 🇲🇨, the serene ancient city of Yogyakarta (affectionately known as Jogja) stands as the cradle of Javanese culture and a vibrant hub where Buddhist and Islamic artistic traditions converge. As one of Aman’s early and most cherished creations, and a testament to the visionary design of master architect Edward Tuttle, Amanjiwo’s iconic, palatial architecture has become a pilgrimage site for Aman aficionados.

Set amidst lush rice fields and with breathtaking views of Borobudur in the distance, this Aman resort exudes an enigmatic yet profoundly peaceful atmosphere. At dawn, or when the first lights flicker on, the interplay of morning light or candlelight with the architectural details and the pool, framed by the silhouette of the distant volcano and the mist, creates an almost meditative ambiance, inviting guests to lose themselves in the moment.

The welcome dinner is a feast for the senses, featuring an innovative tasting menu crafted by a Michelin-starred chef from Jakarta. The culinary journey is complemented by traditional Indonesian dance performances and music, with each dish meticulously paired with a scene from the performance, weaving a tapestry of creativity and cultural richness.

A few days at the rejuvenating Amanjiwo is more than just a stay; it’s a transformative spiritual detox journey, offering a profound sense of renewal and inner peace.
