Amankora Paro is hidden among pine trees in Balakha village, half an hour from Paro’s International Airport. Mountain streams run through the property, and it boasts views of the surrounding forest of blue pines, the peaks of Mount Jhomolhari, and the 17th-century Drukyel Dzong, a fortress and Buddhist monastery.
The hotel's 24 suites are open-plan and wooden-clad - the same design is used throughout all Amans in Bhutan. In addition to a king-sized bed, there are armchairs and a window seat, which makes the perfect reading spot. The bathrooms have double basins, a big central bath, a strong rain shower, and a separate WC.
Elsewhere in the property, the uncluttered living spaces have blazing fires and window-side banquettes. There’s also a library of books, an outdoor patio, and a firepit around which to enjoy drinks.
The luxurious spa is set on two levels and includes a steam room, sauna, and a glass-walled yoga studio.
