After our brief stay at Amanusa we flew from Denpasar to Yogyakarta, Java for a stay at the lovely Amanjiwo resort. As with all Aman resorts transfers and meet and greet service is provided. The hotel is about 1.5 hours from the airport. It is in central Java in a beautiful location overlooking the valley and Borobudur, the 9th century Buddhist temple, and surrounded by four volcanoes and the Menoreh hills. Although the island is home to almost half of Indonesia's large population, the press of people is not felt here.

Amanjiwo has a plethora of activities to offer their clients - the highlight of our visit was an early morning visit to Borobudur for sunrise. (and moon set). It was so peaceful.

We also went for a early morning hike in the rice fields to a small temple. On our return to the resort, the beautiful pool and a visit to the spa was just what the doctor ordered.
