Set atop Lion Hill above the winding lanes and canals of Lijiang’s Unesco-protected Old Town, Amandayan is a serene retreat from which to explore Yunnan’s natural and cultural heritage. Claiming panoramic views, the resort and its tranquil spa are housed in elegant wooden dwellings inspired by Nakhi architecture, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ever-present on the horizon.
Graceful and elegant with clean simple lines, Amandayan’s suites and villas are contemporary in style yet still unmistakably Chinese. Decorated with materials and fabrics from the region, including Yunnan pine and Dong Bei elm, every suite opens onto a shared courtyard or a terrace.
Exceptional views of the distant mountains make the Amandayan Villa’s large outdoor living terrace the perfect place to spend an intimate evening relaxing with loved ones. Overlooking the rooftops of Lijang, the suite provides ample space at 440 square metres (4,736 square feet) yet is just a stone’s throw away from the atmospheric cobbled streets of the Old Town below. Ideal for smaller groups, two bedrooms with king-size beds connect to a large living room, dining room and kitchen that are contemporary in style yet elegantly decorated with materials from the region, including Yunnan pine and Dong Bei elm. A bathroom with free-standing bathtub offers a calm place to retreat, with a separate showroom and toilet providing amenities for all.
