Amankora Bumthang Lodge: 16 Soulful Suites by Bhutan’s Sacred Palaces

Amankora Bumthang Lodge unfolds in the historic town of Jakar, right next to the legendary Wandichholing Palace—Bhutan’s spiritual heart. Featuring 16 suites that open to scenic mountain air and sacred landscapes, this refined lodge offers more than comfort—it offers communion.

As part of the world-renowned Aman Hotels & Resorts, Amankora Bumthang stands as a beacon for mindful travel. Guests are invited to slow down, reflect, and immerse in Bhutan’s centuries-old customs with immersive rituals, healing spa treatments, and handcrafted culinary delights.

Where architecture respects ancestry

The lodge rests in a quiet corner of the Bumthang Valley, a place revered for its temples and origin legends. Echoing the spirit of Bhutanese dzong architecture, each suite is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with nature and heritage. Wood-paneled walls, king-size beds, terrazzo-clad bathtubs, and crackling wood stoves create a soothing sanctuary to restore the body and quiet the mind.

Window seats look onto the valley, the terrace courtyard wraps around a glowing firepit, and the intimate setting creates an atmosphere where solitude feels sacred.

A table rooted in Bhutan’s culinary cradle

Often referred to as the “food basket of Bhutan,” Bumthang’s fertile soil nourishes an extraordinary variety of fresh produce, honey, and dairy. Amankora Bumthang’s dining experience celebrates these ingredients across a series of sensorial encounters.

In the lodge’s cozy dining room or out on the terrace under twilight skies, guests can sample Bhutanese classics and contemporary creations. Options extend to:

• Cooking workshops with local ingredients straight from the garden
• Firepit barbecues in the courtyard
• Intimate private dinners for special occasions
• Casual tastings of regionally produced cheese, beer, and honey

Each bite tells a deeper story of the land and its traditions.

Wellness drawn from the soul of the mountains

After days spent exploring sacred sites or wandering scenic trails, the spa at Amankora Bumthang becomes a restorative refuge. With three treatment rooms and a steam chamber, the wellness centre blends simplicity and serenity, offering deeply grounding experiences.

Choose from Zen-inspired massages, healing rituals, or daily wellness classes designed to reconnect body and spirit. The atmosphere of quietude extends beyond the treatment room—into the stillness of the surrounding hills and the peaceful rhythm of lodge life.
