We’ve stayed in some amazing places in our journeys but our recent stay at the Amankora Paro Hotel (our first Aman Resorts Hotel) was extraordinary in every respect. Nestled in the pine forests in the heart of Paro, this retreat offers an unparalleled blend of Bhutanese tradition, serene landscapes, and world-class hospitality.
From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the tranquility of the surrounding pine forests and the warmth of the staff’s impeccable service. The lodge itself is a masterpiece of understated elegance—earthy tones, wood-burning stoves, and a design that seamlessly integrates with the natural beauty of Bhutan.
Each morning, we awoke to the crisp mountain air and stunning views of the valley, setting the perfect tone for our adventures. Whether hiking to the legendary Tiger’s Nest Monastery or exploring Paro’s cultural gems, returning to Amankora felt like coming home to a sanctuary of peace.
The culinary experience was just as remarkable, with locally sourced ingredients transformed into exquisite Bhutanese and international dishes. Dining under the stars, with the flicker of candlelight and the distant sound of the river, was pure magic. The attentive staff catered to our every need, seemingly reading our minds at times.
But what truly sets Amankora Paro apart is its ability to create a profound sense of connection—both to the land and to oneself. Every detail, from the spa’s healing treatments to the personalized excursions, was crafted to enhance our journey of discovery.
Bhutan is a land of wonder, and Amankora Paro embodies its spirit beautifully. If you’re seeking an experience that is both luxurious and deeply enriching, this is the place to be.
And the included experiences were equally amazing: we made our own Prayer Flags and had our names spelled in Bhutanese by a master calligrapher. We hated to leave this sanctuary in the woods!
