Amankora Punakha Lodge

Reached by crossing a suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu River covered in prayer flags, Punakha Lodge incorporates a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse. Located in a subtropical valley that produces most of the nation’s vegetables, the area is where the Bhutanese royals spend their winters. Eight of the suites are identical in design to those of Amankora Paro, with views across an orange orchard and rice terraces. The four Mo Chhu Suites are situated in a new building, and two feature separate spacious living areas. All accommodations offer king-size beds, traditional wood-burning stoves and banquette window-seats, while bathrooms feature terrazzo-clad bathtubs. Guests can enjoy an infinity pool, an outdoor dining terrace, a two-story spa including a yoga/meditation room and sauna, and a restaurant featuring Bhutanese cuisine.
