"Located in the hilly area of Bantul, Watu Amben offers a different perspective to enjoy the beauty of Yogyakarta. The name of this place refers to a unique rock formation resembling an 'amben' or traditional wooden bed. Visitors often come here to unwind from the hustle and bustle of city life. From its hilltop height, you can witness the peaceful transition of the day, from the reddish evening sky to the sparkling city lights that begin to turn on one by one as night falls."
