This ten-day luxury experience in Indonesia begins with a stay in the stunning resort of Amanjiwo in the rural heart of Central Java. Enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere, Amanjiwo is carefully chosen for this trip not only for its proximity to two world-famous cultural properties recognized by UNESCO, the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, but for their impeccable service and the exclusive experiences they offer to their guests. Amanjiwo, which means “peaceful soul”, enjoys a magnificent setting set in a natural amphitheater, made entirely of locally carved limestone, high walls, dramatic domes and overlooking Borobudur from its front door and some of its suites.
The second part of this journey will take you to the Island of the Gods, where with its leisurely pace and the constant smile of its locals, you will feel pampered by balinese service and precise attention to detail on the Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Its name, which means “temple” in Sanskrit, offers its guests its own luxury sanctuary that invites serenity. Located in the cultural heart of Ubud in Bali, with the Ayung River flowing peacefully beside you, the hotel offers villas and suites with butler service; vintage VW convertible tours of villages, rice fields and temples; and dinners including the exclusive Kubu restaurant, which offers Mediterranean-European cuisine in kubus or private thatched huts that bring a touch of romance to any dining experience.
Your time in Indonesia will end in the two consecutive years called “best hotel in the world”, the Nihi Sumba. Located in “The Edge of Wilderness” away from busy tourist destinations, in a remote area of the island of Sumba, this Eco-friendly luxury resorts feature an excellent personal butler who can arrange anything from a sunset horseback ride, a private boat outing or just pampering yourself during your luxury retreat in front of its 2.5km of white sand beach and turquoise waters.
Spend a few days relaxing in the quiet luxury hotel Amanjiwo. Located in an authentic amphitheater in rural Java, you can tour the surrounding villages by bike, visit the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, shopping for unique Javanese pieces in the bustling Yogyakarta or enjoying a private picnic among active volcanoes.
Inspired by the ninth-century Buddhist shrine of Borobudur, Amanjiwo’s suites feature four-pillar king-size beds on raised terrazzo platforms, spacious landscaped terraces, some with private pools and lofty pavilions. Views include terraced farmland and the hills of Menoreh, or the valley and Borobodur itself.
Amanjiwo’s garden and nearby farms provide most of the ingredients used by the resort’s chefs in a variety of Javanese, Indonesian and Western dishes. Guests can also dine privately in the suite, 24 hours a day, and picnics can be arranged on adventures farther away.

As a final icing on this luxury experience in Indonesia, we will take a leap to the traditional Sumba where the hotel is awarded for 2 consecutive years as Best Hotel in the World. With its rugged rolling savannas and low limestone hills, on the island of Sumba you will find villages with traditional thatched-roof clan houses clustered around unique megalithic tombs where villagers still pay homage to their ancestors in the ancient Marapu belief and they have preserved most of the indigenous culture and traditions for generations.
The resort focuses on freedom, understated luxury, and provides unforgettable memories that allow guests to reconnect with a life lived simply, healthily, and consciously. The property and main complex in West Sumba encompasses 567 hectares of land. All villas are built on terraces with private verandas. Nihi Sumba was born out of the vision to protect and preserve the unique culture and empower local communities to support themselves and their families and give them the opportunity to improve their own lives.
Nihi Sumba takes great care in designing dining experiences for his guests. Their menus are crafted to recall local flavors and distant flavors, using fresh produce from their organic garden. Local fish is fished daily from its shores to be prepared in a new way every night. Toast is always cooked over an open fire, never in a toaster.
