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.
Rooted in Japan’s sixth-century tradition of onsen bathing, Amanemu’s 2,000-square-metre spa embraces the restorative power of water. Designed around a vast hot-spring bath fed by mineral-rich waters of Ise-Shima, the spa takes a holistic approach, fusing Japanese healing practices with nature-inspired therapies from around the Aman world.
Wellness from water
Japan has understood the healing power of mineral bathing since the days of the shogunate, when samurai would use onsen to restore their health and recover from the rigours of battle. As well as aiding in recovery from fatigue and injury and relieving pain, onsen bathing can improve general wellbeing. Today, Amanemu guests can enjoy the same restorative benefits as the samurai, with sessions in the spa’s mineral-rich pools.
Herbal healing
Traditional Chinese Medicine arrived in Japan in the 4th century and has since evolved to become the herb-based healing practice, Kampo. Like many ancient holistic systems, the discipline emphasises the importance of attaining balance between body and mind, with plant-derived cures and therapies at its heart. Amanemu’s Immersion programmes and spa treatments incorporate expert-blended Kampo formulations to achieve specific wellbeing goals.
Personalised Spa Journey
Amanemu's experienced therapists are able to develop bespoke spa experiences and treatment programmes tailored to the individual wellness goals of each guest. A select combination of organic blends from the Aman Skincare range, Kampo herbs and locally sourced essential oils are used with a diverse array of treatments and techniques to deliver a truly personal and transformative wellness experience.
