Dining at Amanjiwo

Enjoy an evening of traditional dance, music and cuisine as local dancers tell the romantic story of Ramayana through movement, before guests savour a Javanese feast.

Tuck into a delectable picnic or a enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner in Amanjiwo’s hilltop bale. Perched above a galangal plantation on the banks of the Progo River, this open-sided structure claims stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Seemingly adrift in an emerald sea of terraced rice paddies, Amanjiwo’s Gubuk Sawah is a dainty, open-sided bale for two. With Borobudur in the distance, take a peaceful moment together with a picnic or a celebratory afternoon tea or sundowner.

Combine exploration, culture and cuisine with a guided hike to Selogriyo, an 8th-century Hindu temple high on the slopes of Mount Sumbing. In its picturesque gardens, relax with a delicious picnic while gazing at enchanting views of the valley below.

Enjoy the health benefits of herbal tea and jamu, a delicious Indonesian drink made from turmeric, ginger, lemon and honey, served by local providers on alternating afternoons in Amanjiwo’s Rotunda Bar. Local musicians and dancers perform while you relish each gently spiced sip.
