We stayed here for three nights in a Borobudur Suite. The Amanjiwo did not disappoint. The suite was huge and beautifully decorated. The views from the private walled garden were spectacular, watching the sunrise over the valley below with coffee in hand every morning was tranquility defined. The service as one expects from an Aman was personalized and spot on. From the private airport transfers, to the welcome from the hotel manager, to the dinning staff. The Amanjiwo exceeded expectations. The architecture of the hotel is stunning, the design of the lobby/restaurant that aligns perfectly with the Borobudur temple in the distance is magical. We booked the hotels cultural trails package, which included three private activities, we opted for a tour of the Borobudur Temple, which I highly recommend, our guide was a true expert and we had the upper portion of the temple to ourselves for about ten minutes. A photographers dream. In addition we booked a morning visit to the market in Borobudur, and a tour of the temples in Kedu Valley, both of which were excellent. Each afternoon we relaxed and had lunch by the pool. The pool is gorgeous and the service again was excellent. The food was another highlight, the options were varied and several highlighted the local Javanese culture. All the meals he had were fantastic. Each night we sat outside among flickering candles, the soft sound of live Javanese music playing in the lobby, with a view of the Borobudur temple lit in the distance. Could not get any better! The peace, beauty and service at the Amanjiwo was beyond words. Can not recommend it enough.

Thank you to the entire wonderful, beautiful, soulful, & kind team at Amanjiwo for making our honeymoon -- the most important & symbolic trip of our lives together so far -- so special and so enchanting. The moment I walked into the lobby at the Amanjiwo and witnessed the view and the architecture in real life, tears swelled into my eyes. It is THAT beautiful. Then the kindness & gestures made by the staff to make us feel welcomed and special as honeymooners -- now that will also make you cry. It was like we were in a movie when the staff surprised us with a special candlelit table. This hotel, the people, & these memories will be something my new husband and I cherish for the rest of our lives. The entire experience was simply breathtaking.

Spent three nights here on way to Bali, and left wanting more. We were upgraded to a Borobudur pool suite (on lowest level). The astonishing 1300 year old Buddhist temple (largest in world) dominates this place; it is a commanding presence as well as the architectural inspiration for this, the fourth Aman. There are incredible views of Borobudur down the driveway thru the property, as well as through the reception area, dining space and walkway down to the rooms. The special tour is essential and reveals the temple to be a giant story book of Buddhist wisdom and lore. The 73 bell shaped stupas were built to protect the statues of Buddha beneath them from volcanic ash. Nearly 10 thousand foot Mt Merapi looms over Borobudur (though we never got to see it due to mist and clouds), and it is still active (major eruption in Mar, 2024). The stupas had a purpose but one could not help but image the sound of bells ringing out from this powerful place. Amanjiwo delivered Aman's uniformly high standard of service. We spent most of the time at their magical pool (despite a pool in our suite), and pretty much had the place to ourselves, both at breakfast and in the morning. Weather was wonderful-dry and low humidity. We absolutely loved our all-too-short visit here and would love to return.
