The forests and fields of central Java are dotted with historic temples, and at first glance, you’d be forgiven for mistaking Amanjiwo for one of them. A grand complex of limestone buildings, rounded domes, and towering columns, this luxury property looms above the landscape from its perch in the Menoreh Hills overlooking Borobudur, Indonesia‘s archeological crown jewel: an epic, ninth-century Buddhist temple that is the largest of its kind in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Made with local limestone, Amanjiwo’s grand design mirrors that of its timeless twin. Half-moon circles of stone villas fan out from the central rotunda, cascading down the hillside in tiers. Domes and pyramid-esque roofs peek out of thick foliage laced with stone walkways. Even the suites feel like the abodes of ancient royals; beds sit atop raised terrazzo platforms with towering columns and soaring ceilings evoke echo-y temple interiors. Massive entryways and windows frame dramatic views of Borobudur, the valley, or the Menoreh Hills. Walled gardens and private pools heighten the imperial appeal.
