Amanjiwo Hotel, Magelang - Central Java
Borobudur, Magelang, Indonesia
Amanjiwo is surrounded by a plethora of extraordinary cultural, physical and
spiritual beauty, embracing its good fortune with serene Yogya (local limestone)
arms. The main structure, a circular limestone monolith, is centred by a soaring
bell-shaped rotunda; the cool atmospheric entrance leads to the rotunda Bar and
stately colonnaded Dining Room and Terrace, fronted with views to savour a life-time,
that of the Kedu Plain and Borobudur; it is a rich visual feast staying at Amanjiwo,
though being here impacts on all the senses.
Upon arrival, a heartfelt welcome is offered from local village girls, dressed
in traditional sarongs, as they shower you with fresh scented rose petals; an
uplifting warm and reverent spirit that lives with you throughout your stay and
often beyond. |
Outside, the ‘Romanesque’ amphitheatre-style pool, built by blocks of tactile
Yogya limestone, reflects the cornucopia of foliage in its enchanting and inviting
water, with views of the nearby jade green paddy fields and the empowering volcanic
tips of Merapi and Merbabu. Amanjiwo is a discerning portal, proffering numerous
paths for cultural pursuit: from a personalised tour by car to the solid back
of a Sumatran elephant.
