Luxury Holidays In Bhutan
Amankora
Bhutan, the 'land of the thunder dragon', is a royal kingdom landlocked by the massif of the Himalayas, which has always protected it from the influences of the modern world. Only since 1974 have visitors been permitted to visit this enchanting country, one of the last remaining strongholds for the tantric Mahayana Buddhism.
Bhutan is steeped in tradition and rich in cultural heritage and spirituality. The majestic Dzongs (monasteries) are active communities for studying monks, the constructural décor of homes testament to the craftsmans’ skill, and the ornately painted wall motifs are symbols of great importance to the gracious and gentle Bhutanese.

Aman, meaning ‘peace’ in Sanskrit and kora meaning ‘circular pilgrimage’ in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language perfectly describes the Amankora experience that awaits guests in the mystical kingdom of Bhutan. Under Aman’s care guests can enjoy a seamless journey through the enchanting landscape, staying in five different lodges, carefully positioned throughout the valleys – Paro, Punahkha, Thimphu, Phobjikha and Bhumthang, each offers its own dramatic backdrop and amazing views. The lodges are as you would expect from Amanresorts, ultra sleek. Suites comprise bedrooms and separate baths with traditional bukharis (wood-burning stoves); each lodge has its own unique spa that incorporates Bhutan’s traditional plant and herb-based therapies and a choice of activities that include archery (the national sport), fishing, white water rafting and even golf.
