Amanjiwo, Indonesia
A hidden jewel at Java’s centre Amanjiwo rests in the shadows of the largest Buddhist temple complex in the world, Borobudur, which reopens to visitors from 1 March 2023.
Set atop Lion Hill above the winding lanes and canals of Lijiang’s Unesco-protected Old Town, Amandayan is a serene retreat from which to explore Yunnan’s natural and cultural heritage. Claiming panoramic views, the resort and its tranquil spa are housed in elegant wooden dwellings inspired by Nakhi architecture, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ever-present on the horizon.
