Amaya

Services

The majority of Amaya’s inspiration is taken from the organic topology of nearby villages. Bijoy Jain, the lead architect of this boutique resort, has exceptionally bridged the divide between outdated designs and modern artistic mindsets. Your private sanctuary at Amaya is constructed from scratch by hand; no traces of cement exist.

Architecture

Choose from their chalets, chalet suites, and private villas. These 300, 450, and 3000-square-foot homes come with minimalism conquered through the art of space and décor management. Every villa offers an artist studio complete with dining and living rooms, kitchens, and three ensuite bedrooms. The luxuries resonate with quiet followed by privacy, as the Japanese and Nordic-centric interiors promise to take these moments to your grave.

On the other hand, the chalet suite flashes the elegance of angled terraces and a porch that transports visitors to the days of British India and even before.

Rest assured, the insides showcase a rich mix of marble shutters and retro lighting add-ons that offer an unmatched sensation of happiness.

Interior Design

From slanting windows and doors with thin marble panels for letting natural illumination work its magic to its spartan setup in a beautifully run kitchen, few boutique resorts let travellers slow down with such comfort. Each structure is ecologically sensitive and comes from local materials to cement its strong relation to the surroundings.

Copper roofs built using similar techniques for restoration projects in Europe, local stone and brick walls touched upon by lime plaster, and structural additions taking on the creative impulses of Bengalis, Swiss, French, and Indian villagers – you’ll be in awe.

Thanks to the interiors deploying an intricate formulation of stone, wood, and marble, the interactions within the inside and outside of Amaya are evidently homely!

Food & Drinks

Every dish comes through stages of research and experimentation, topped with the common rural thrill of foraging. Opt for a Himachali Dham, Sel Roti, Siddu, Chha Gosht, or a nutritious meal that stems from the versatility of seasonal produce.

Preservation practices spice up the innovative cooking exercises in their kitchen. Be it the fresh produce or mindfully kept away herbs, this non-archetypal boutique hotel has all that it takes to present the authentic meaning of luxurious comfort in the hills.

Moving on, Amaya’s culinary mastery stands out through a supremely sensory dining experience. Picture top-end hospitality sprinkled with fresh organic ingredients that show why Amaya’s meals are not simply food but a symbol of the Himalayan way of life.

Sustainability in food consumption populates this culinary ideology with farm-to-fresh dishes expressing the best of their Chef Prateek Sadhu. Gourmands on the move won’t find anything nearly as enriching as what Amaya serves.
