After days of relaxation, the journey continues onwards to the cultural highlights of Central Java and Amanjiwo, overlooking Unesco-guarded Borobudur. From this privileged perch, there’s chance to explore the world’s largest Buddhist temple complex entirely free from crowds, with bespoke backstage excursions. A morning trek through rice paddies to the 8th-century Hindu temple of Selogriyo is also included. Back at Amanjiwo, the resort centres around a lofty hilltop rotunda, where resort-grown Javanese meals are served. Steps slope down to a pool where indolent afternoons can be spent, cooling off against a bottle-green backdrop of tropical flora.
