Amankora, Punakha Lodge

Design

The arrival to Punakha across a suspension bridge entwined with prayer flags, taking you over the aquamarine Mo Chu River sets the tone for the rest of your stay at this magical lodge. A traditional Bhutanese farmhouse adapted with modern luxuries, the lodge is home to eight elegant suites with views across an orange orchard and rice terraces. All have grand king-sized beds, wood-burning stoves and en-suites with feature baths. Punakha is also home to a spa which includes a yoga and meditation room, and a variety of treatments centred around the healing rituals and spiritual traditions integral to the Buddhist nature of Bhutan.
