So you've checked some of the big Asian sites off your list, but have you been to Borobudur on Java island in Indonesia?

The biggest Buddhist temple in the world, this 9th century structure scores the travel hat trick, as it's a popular tourist attraction, a revered pilgrimage destination and an awarded UNESCO heritage site.

If traveling there, you'll likely consider staying at the lush Amanjiwo, a five-star Aman resort that's located nearby.

Said one friend: "One of my very best vacation and hotel stays was at Amanjiwo ... The hotel sits facing Borobudur and its architecture mimics the temple. Most people head to Indonesia to go to Bali and fly right over this part of the country, but they are missing a gem."
