The Amanjiwo’s trip called ‘Peaceful Soul’ will bring you on a panoramic seven-hour journey through Central Java, where temples turn to tree-lined hillsides and striking mountain landscapes, with a new story appearing around every corner. The serenity, privacy, and beauty of its setting up to comfort your long trip. The landscape of Java is studded with ancient treasures engulfed by pea-green paddy fields and mountain peaks, accompanied by pristine white beaches.

Perfectly placed for further exploration of the region, the Ed Tuttle-designed resort offers panoramic views of the Kedu Plain and Mount Merapi on the horizon. Reclaimed from the jungle in the 19th century, Amanjiwo’s 31 Borobudur-inspired suites lie in two perfect crescents below the central rotunda – most with individual swimming pools opening onto private, tranquil gardens.

The resort’s restaurant, bar, and terraces foster serenity, overlooking a ring of volcanoes, while stone steps descend in tiers to a magnificent swimming pool. Dedicated to holistic wellness, Amanjiwo offers a spa menu informed by traditional Javanese healing. At the same time, a fully equipped gym suite, tennis court, and private yoga sessions help guests find peace from within.

With two nights to experience this inspiring location, guests can fully immerse themselves in Amanjiwo’s sacred roots, continuing their journey through Java. Just two kilometers away, the temple of Borobudur – a 9th-century marvel with 504 life-size Buddha statues – reveals ancient secrets while trekking through the lush surrounding landscapes to local villages unearths an entirely new way of life.

Throughout their time at Amanjiwo, each guest will receive daily breakfast and one special Amanjiwo experience. Choose from the number of experiences, including a traditional degustation dinner served in the grand colonial restaurant, a private Aman picnic on the banks of the Progo river, or enjoy sunset martinis overlooking dramatic vistas of the Menorah Hills – an idyllic opportunity to reconnect with loved ones in this magical place. On the final morning, wake early, taking in sunrise colors before departing, cherishing memories of an exceptional Aman journey.

The Journey Through Java is available from 24 - 26 September, 16 - 18 October, 13 - 15 November, and 25 - 27 December, with further dates for 2022 yet to come.
