Buddhist monuments as a backdrop don’t come more dramatic than here in Java’s cradle of civilisation
Silhouetted at sunrise, Unesco-listed Borobudur is sure to stir up artistic tendencies - not only because the landscape includes Mount Merapi’s volcanic peak, smouldering in the background, but because Amanjiwo provides guests with sets of watercolour paints. Here in Indonesia’s artistic and intellectual heartland, Borobudur, one of Buddhism’s most sacred Mahayana temples, was reclaimed from the jungle in the 19th century, and its significance is echoed in the resort’s design. The temple-like hideaway, built entirely from blush-beige local paras Jogja limestone, has soaring ceilings, colonnades and a central domed stupa roof that mimics Borobudur in the distance.
