Amandayan is a luxury heritage retreat, situated in China’s southwestern province of Yunnan. Known as the Land of Eternal Spring for its exceptionally mild climate, Yunnan is famed for limestone plateaus, snow-capped peaks and rushing rivers. Perched above Lijiang’s Old Town, Dayan Amandayan overlooks the dramatic mountainous landscape, perfect for leisurely treks and horse rides amidst its wildflower meadows and remote villages with a unique heritage and culture.
Located just above the Lijiang Old Town Amandayan boasts 35 suites. These luxurious dwelling with high pitched ceilings, intricate wooden screens and indigenous Nakhi details, pay homage to Lijiang’s fabled architecture. The impressive Amandayan Suite; measuring 440sqm, features two bedrooms and an expansive living area with beautiful views of the area. Two in-house restaurants serve Yunnan, Cantonese and Western cuisines focused on seasonal and locally grown produce.
Situated above Lijiang, Amandayan guests are well placed to explore its exotic Naxi ethnic group and Dongba Culture. In the background is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, one of the world’s most beautiful and diverse massifs, climbed by a cable car. In between are beautiful meadows, crisscrossed by snow streams, perfect for hiking and horse riding. Back at the resort is a wellness spa, home to a 20-metre heated pool, a fully equipped gym and Pilates studio.
