Amankora

it is located in the right area of capital. it is surrounded by a lovely park and is very quiet. despite it offers less rooms than paro, the common areas are larger and more luxurious (restaurant, lobby, terrace, shop). The luxury standards of Aman group are highly respected and the staff is really professional. Its chef is the best of the 3 amankoras we visited. Food was obviously sublime in all locations but this chef is a runner up!

I loved my 7-night stay at 4 of the Amankora lodges. All the properties are beautiful, with an understated and very zen design (they're also very similar so don't expect huge variation from lodge to lodge). My favourites were Punakha (which has a very nice heated swimming pool, and a cozy meditation room in the main house which I used quite a bit), and Thimphu, which is just a short distance from town, located in a peaceful forest with a small stream running through it. The staff at all the lodges were fantastic: hospitable, kind and very attentive. You really can't ask for more. Bhutan itself is among my favourite places I've ever travelled to: incredible nature, beautiful monuments and architecture, and shockingly few tourists. I hope it stays this way. My itinerary, which we more or less planned day-by-day was: Thimphu - Gangtey - Punakha - Punakha - Thimphu - Paro - Paro My one bit of advice to any active traveller would be to organise a trek in addition to staying at the lodges: this is the one thing I felt I missed out on and will be sure to do next time.
