Amanjiwo - The Other Awe-Inspiring Site in Magelang


Only five minutes (by car) from Borobudur is the equally spectacular Amanjiwo. Designed by world renowned architect, Ed Tuttle, Amanjiwo is undoubtedly your best accommodation option in Magelang. But only if you can afford it.

I had the privilege to shoot pictures of the hotel when I was in Magelang. The architecture bears a striking resemblance to Borobudur, which from the lobby you can see the mystical temple in the distance. It almost feels as if Amanjiwo is an annex of Borobudur!

Says Rohini Nordmann, General Manager, Aman Sales and Reservations, who has seen my pictures: “You may not be a painter, but you have a painterly eye for detail and an artist’s love of beauty, form and balance.”
