As you approach the entrance to the hotel, the mystical Borobodur appears on the horizon. Past the lobby, the hotel crawls down a verdant hill, with views of paddy fields and woodland all unfurling around the ancient temple. In the far distance, four volcanic peaks tower over the horizon. It is truly extraordinary, and, when combined with the luxurious amenities of impeccable service that you can expect from Aman properties, becomes a real once-in-a-lifetime stay.
