What's on

Experience an awe-inspiring festive season at Amanjiwo, where curated events honour beloved traditions from Indonesia and across the globe. As 2024 draws to a close, come together with loved ones to celebrate – whether relaxing the mind with morning wellness sessions, encouraging the inner artist through children’s crafts or observing local music and dance performances. 

Cultural discovery is at the heart of Amanjiwo and New Year celebrations here reflect the island's powerful fusion of Javanese and Chinese traditions and customs that unites us in joy and renewal. 

Board the regal Kereta Api Wisata train in Jakarta and embark on the full-day, seven-hour journey to Amanjiwo through spectacular scenery with the resort's resident anthropologist. Ensconced in Aman’s private carriage, your journey begins with full-board meals and alcoholic drinks included, plus the benefit of an expert guide to share insights into the historical sites you pass along the way, including the Serayu River, Mount Slamet and Mount Merbabu. Offered to guests year-round, there is no better way to arrive at Amanjiwo and the temples of Borobudur.

Aiming to ground the spirit to bring clarity and purpose while renergising body and mind, this minimum three-night journey incorporates temple visits, spa treatments, guided meditation and a series of personalised ancient Javanese rituals ranging from Tolak Balak to Ruwatan. The experience will culminate on the beautiful banks of the Progo River with a picnic breakfast during which to reflect on the retreat's learnings.

Every evening from 7 to 10pm, the hypnotic strains of classical Javanese singing accompanied by the gamelan resonate through Amanjiwo’s colonnaded Restaurant and Bar and out onto its imposing terrace. Enjoy the music as you savour an alfresco feast accompanied by views of Borobudur and the volcano-fringed horizon.
