With five luxury lodges scattered across Bhutan's valleys, Amankora offers one-of-a-kind accommodations with unforgettable views, first-rate service, immersion into nature and the opportunity to connect with local traditions and daily life. Each lodge is set in a picturesque location: Thimphu Lodge in a blue pine forest just outside the capital city; Bumthang Lodge surrounded by orchards in the town of Jakar next to Wangdicholing Palace; Gangtey Lodge in a former 16th-century monastery within the Black Mountains National Park wildlife reserve; Punakha Lodge set in a traditional farmhouse accessed by crossing a suspension bridge; and Paro Lodge, perched at an elevation of 2,250 metres and surrounded by towering pines.
The five lodges offer a total of 76 suites, with views ranging from orange orchards to rice terraces to vistas of morning mist rolling in through the valley. Each building has been thoughtfully designed to blend into its surroundings, from incorporating a preexisting farmhouse to emulating the style of a traditional dzong fortress. Despite being set hours apart, the suites share similar interior design styles with wood floors and neutral tones, and most feature banquette window seats, terrazzo-clad soaking tubs and traditional wood-burning stoves.
Each lodge features a central dining room, and most offer an outdoor dining terrace with picturesque views where guests are welcome to sit down for a custom-prepared meal or snack any time of day. All dining, including room service and house wines, is included with your stay. A selection of Bhutanese, Western and Indian dishes make it easy to explore local favourites or enjoy familiar flavours.
Hiring a guide is required when visiting Bhutan, and your stay at any of the Amankara lodges comes with a tailor-made itinerary, private transportation and experts to show you the top local sites and provide fascinating background information. Guests can explore Bhutan's captivating landscape with guided hikes, cycle tours and wildlife spotting walks. Depending on the location, you can take part in a Bhutanese cooking class using ingredients purchased at that morning's market, listen to a private lecture on Bhutan and Buddhism, listen to live folk music, learn archery or join monks for morning prayers. Each lodge also features wellness amenities such as a yoga studio, infinity pool, meditation space, steam room and a spa.
