Amaya

Solan, India

This sustainably built resort fits right into the dramatic Himachal Pradesh landscape, promising peace and quiet amid eight hectares of lush terraced fields in India’s Western Himalayas. Dotted across the hillside are a series of suites, chalets, cottages and villas, hand-built with local materials – from brick and stone walls finished in lime plaster, to copper roofs that glimmer at golden hour. Pared-back interiors draw attention to the great outdoors, which is characterised by misty mountains, pine forests and stargazing-friendly skies. Amaya encourages guests to connect with the local scenery via activities such as foraging tours with a resident horticulturalist, guided treks in the surrounding hills, or visits to nearby villages. As night falls, further experiences emerge – from sunset dips in the stone swimming pool, to movie nights by moonlight, and bonfire-side private dining featuring produce from the organic farms and orchards onsite.
