“My 22-hour pilgrimage to Amanjiwo, what many hoteliers consider the world’s most extraordinary hotel, was well worth the flight time. And there’s never been a more apt setting for renewal than in Central Java. Nestled in a natural amphitheatre, Amanjiwo faces the world’s largest Buddhist monument, the ninth-century Borobodur—built to look like a lotus flower fallen from the sky… The resourceful staff can arrange anything from perfectly executed picnic lunches, complete with silk pillows and more fresh fixings than you can imagine, to cultural excursions to see the traditional all-male Dayakan trance dance. All in all, one of the world’s best stays.”
