suites
Amanjiwo’s remarkable rendezvous with its natural environment is evident throughout the resort, the heart of which lies within its open circular monolith, crafted from paras yogya (local volcanic limestone from Yogykarta), as it liberally breathes in the Javanese country air.
Thirty-four suites are designed in two deep crescent formations rimmed with high limestone walls, crawling with spider lilies and lilac and cream convolvulus, that curve into stone walkways connecting the suites with the Pool Club and main building.
The suites are domed with volcanic ash tinted roofs, serenading their ancient neighbours and in particular Borobudur itself. A four-pillared bed is raised on a terrazzo platform which moulds into the smooth expanse of caramel mapped terrazzo floor and local materials and artefacts; coconut wood, hand carved furniture, exotic Javanese textiles and antique glass paintings, are meticulously placed to soothing effect. Sliding glass doors open out onto garden terraces featuring the intensely special views and a thatched-roof bale or pavilion provides the perfect opportunity for dining or just relaxing, while 15 of the suites have private swimming pools.

the dalem jiwo suite
This retreat is set in a discrete enclosure complete with a private entrance, a classically styled rotunda and surrounding terrace with two separately walled bedrooms, each with stone steps descending to the suite’s private swimming pool and its two lounging bales. The 15m infinity pool, finished in a green Javanese stone known as hijau danau, is set into the rice fields. The Dalem Jiwo personal butler, always on call, has separate quarters in the enclosure
