Bumthang

10 Rooms

|

From $960 per person/night

Wrapped in nature from head to toe, this hillside lodge is a delight to the senses.

In Bhutan's spiritual heart where prayer flags flutter on the clifftops and chants of “Om Mani Padme Hung” can be heard across the valley, Six Senses is the place where life slows to a gentle pace. Surrounded by lofty blue pines, the lodge is known as a forest within a forest thanks to its furniture hand-crafted from recycled wood and trees that grow through the terrace floor. As you journey past grazing yaks, ancient temples and farms tucked into the crook of a valley, its easy to visualise days spent trekking to Buddhist monasteries and enjoying archery lessons in the fields.

Amankora Punakha Lodge

Punakha

8 Rooms

|

From $1.2K per person/night

An exquisite blend of old and new, this picture-perfect farmhouse is comfort personified.

There are some places that invoke a sense of magic as soon as you arrive and Amankora Punakha Lodge is one of them. From the moment you set foot on the suspension bridge, bedecked with prayer flags - which must be crossed to reach the lodge - you know you're somewhere special. The converted farmhouse sits within an idyllic valley, a favourite of Bhutanese royal family, and the very spot in which the majority of the country's fruit and veg are grown. Expect a peaceful Bhutanese way of life (surrounded by orange orchards and rice terraces, no less), lazy days and a spot of hiking - but without sacrificing any creature comforts, of course.

Amankora Gangtey

From $1K per person/night

Peeking out from a cluster of Bhutan's quintessential blue pines, Amankora overlooks a valley where endangered black-neck cranes raise their wings to the sun. One of very few lodges in its corner of Gangtey, the lodge has an intimate feel made stronger by the staff's attention to detail - from personalised gifts at turn-down, surprise picnics on hikes and hot towels waiting when you return. You don't have to miss a minute of the view as you dine on the lawn (binocs in hand) or walk past forests of bamboo or yaks grazing in lush fields.

Bumthang

16 Rooms

|

From $1.2K per person/night

Hillsides carpeted in green and ancient Buddhist ceremonies in hushed Bumthang Valley.

Ensconced by the rugged (and oft snow-capped) Himalayas, life in Bhutan plays out in its collection of alpine valleys. Nestled in the aptly named Bumthang, which translates to mean 'beautiful field', the Amankora Lodge takes every advantage of its tranquil neighbourhood. With blissfully few actual neighbours, the lodge's gaze lands on lush forested hills and the ornate Wangdichholing Palace. Beginning with a greeting of warm towels laced in lemongrass, your stay at Amankora is testament to the country's policy of Gross National Happiness. Steeped in ancient tradition and folklore, a visit to Bumthang includes cliffside monasteries and the fascinating Burning Lake where legends abound.
