Our thoughts
The Menoreh Hills rise up behind and no less than four volcanoes grace the horizon. Amanjiwo provides the opportunity for immersion in Javanese culture, offering trips to ceremonies, temples and antique shops. Guests are the only people allowed at the 8th Century Mendut Temple after it closes - a magical experience which can be combined with a visit to the local monastery to hear the evening Buddhist chanting.

Suites - Amanjiwo has 36 suites set in two graceful crescents around the central rotunda. Stone walkways link them to the main building, the swimming pool and the Dalem Jiwo Suite. Each suite features terrazzo flooring, high ceilings, domed roofs and sliding glass doors that open to a garden terrace and offers a thatched-roof bale with a daybed for outdoor lounging and dining. Interiors include a central four-pillar bed on a raised terrazzo platform, sungkai wood screens, coconut wood and rattan furniture, old batik pillows in classic Yogyakarta style and traditional glass paintings. The huge bathroom comes with twin terrazzo-finished vanities and a sunken outdoor bathtub set in a walled garden.
