Amankora in Bhutan
Amankora is the first Bhutanese resort in the prestigious Aman Resort group. This all-inclusive hotel is made up of five lodges designed like sanctuaries and spread across the central and western valleys. Each has been designed as a journey through the kingdom of Bhutan. The 24-suite Paro lodge is perched at 2,250 metres in the heart of a thick pine forest; Thimphu is set in a pine forest high above the Motithang region and has 16 suites; Gangtey (eight suites) nestles in the Phobjikha valley with a view of the sixteenth-century Gangtey Goemba monastery, Punakha is reached by crossing a suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu river and includes a traditional farmhouse and, finally, Bumthang, 16 suites, is located next to the Wandichholing palace in the Choekhor valley. Within these five lodges, a variety of Bhutanese, Western and Indian dishes are served to further immerse you in this exceptional culture. The experience continues in the five traditional spas linked to each lodge, and the meditation session in the forest will remain an unforgettable moment of well-being. This is the perfect hotel for discovering the riches of this region, enhanced by the charm of nature and local customs.
