From its perch against the Menoreh Hills, Amanjiwo overlooks the fertile Kedu Plain, where volcanic soil nourishes verdant rice paddies and an abundance of fresh produce. Handpicked daily by Amanjiwo’s chefs, most of the ingredients served in the resort’s Javanese, Indonesian and international dishes are sourced from Amanjiwo’s organic garden and local farms.

Whether dining on the Restaurant’s spectacular terrace with views of Borobudur, at the Pool Terrace, amid rice paddies or beside Selogriyo temple – Amanjiwo’s cuisine reflects the authenticity and welcoming conviviality of Central Java, known for its generosity and flavour.

Javanese Wayang Dinner

Across the Indonesian archipelago, Wayang (puppet theatre) has long shaped cultural expression through myth, morality and philosophy. At Amanjiwo, this centuries-old tradition is experienced through an intimate dining encounter, where refined cuisine unfolds alongside live storytelling and music. Led by Bapak Bandel, a master dalang (puppeteer), the performance brings together his family across generations—his wife, Ibu Wiwik, and their children and grandchildren forming the gamelan ensemble..
