about AMANJIWO RESORTS ” A Peaceful Resort in Central Java


Sponsored Links

Amanjiwo (peaceful soul) opened in Central Java in 1997. With clear views to 8th century Borobudur, and drawing its design inspiration from this the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world, Amanjiwo specializes in cultural excursions and experience, highlighting the influential and long-standing artistic traditions of Central Java.
Amanjiwo (which means peaceful soul and opened in 1997) is fashioned out of limestone and takes its inspiration from the surrounding culture of Central Java. The resort is located within a natural amphitheatre with the limestone Menoreh Hills rising directly behind, the Kedu Plain in front and four volcanoes ” Sumbing, Sundoro, Merbabu and Merapi ” gracing the horizon. Amanjiwo looks out onto Borobudur, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world. Indeed, Borobudur is carefully mirrored in the resorts design and central dome. The view runs arrow-straight through Amanjiwos entrance and the stone corridor that neatly cleaves the resort, up the steps to the soaring, bell-shaped rotunda, down to the Dining Room, on to the Terrace, past rice fields in an unwavering line to Borobudur itself. Several kampungs (small villages) are within walking distance.

Amanjiwo is constructed from paras yogya ” the local limestone. Thirty-six suites radiate outward from the main building in two deep crescents. These are rimmed by high, limestone walls set off by spider lilies and morning glory. The walls blend into the stone walkways that link the suites to the main building and the Pool Club. At the far end of the resort, in a lush tranquil setting, is the Dalem Jiwo ” a large private suite with two separate bedrooms.

Watching Sunset in Kuta Beach, Bali

Kuta beach, Bali, originally uploaded by arranfrood.

Kuta Beach Bali is a mixing place for many Bali visitors. The size of the beach and the proximity to guesthouses and hotels means Kuta Beach is within easy reach. Just the other day I strolled down to the beach at sunset to checkout what was going on and the beach was pretty packed. Waves were pumping and the water was full of monkeys all dropping in and cutting each others nuts off. For novice surfers Kuta Beach offers an excellent starting point because it is handy, sandy and waves break rather flat so you can always get onto something.
