EA JOURNEY THROUGH JAVA

xplore the vibrant Indonesian island of Java with a spectacular new train adventure from Aman Resorts & Hotels and PT Kereta Api Pariwisata. The cultural heartland of Indonesia, Java is studded with ancient treasures engulfed by pea-green paddy fields and rain forests lined with pristine white beaches. Travelling in dedicated carriages adorned in the Aman style, you’ll venture from the capital of Jakarta, which buzzes with modern dynamism, to Yogyakarta, home to the Unesco-protected site of the Borobudur temple and luxurious retreat Amanjiwo, named ‘Peaceful Soul’ for the serenity, privacy and beauty of its setting.

Available on selected dates, the once-in-a-lifetime experience begins in Jakarta Gambir station’s exclusive lounge, where you’ll receive an authentic Javanese welcome, before embarking on a panoramic seven-hour journey through Central Java, where temples turn to tree-lined hillsides, with a new story appearing around every corner. An exquisite Aman breakfast and lunch is served on board, surrounded by the opulence of one’s private carriage, and along the way you’ll learn about the destination from Amanjiwo’s resident anthropologist, Patrick Vanhoebrouck, who shares the region’s historic and cultural highlights. Sip on a crisp glass of champagne with afternoon tea before reaching Yogyakarta Tugu station feeling refreshed, where a 60-minute private transfer to Amanjiwo awaits. aman.com
