Amaya is a sustainable, luxury boutique resort designed by Bijoy Jain of Studio Mumbai set amidst 20 acres of a private pine forest, in the Himalayas.

Conversations with Amaya’s farm lands.

Hemraj, Amaya’s expert horticulturist, takes guests on excursions that are by no means limited to foraging for food. They are rich culinary experiences in themselves, showcasing a myriad of locally cherished ingredients both wild and cultivated.

“The greatest gift of life on the mountain is time. Time to think or not think, read or not read, scribble or not scribble—to sleep and cook and walk in the woods, to sit and stare at the shapes of the hills.”
— Phillip Connors, Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookout

Accommodations transcend mere rooms; Whether it's the quiet seclusion of the Chalet, the panoramic scope of a Cottage Suite veranda, or the absolute privacy afforded by the Chalet Suite with its dedicated study; the space is a study in minimalist luxury and local craft.

For multi-generational sanctuary, the fully-equipped Villas offer seamless comfort without compromising the spectacular view.

The land defines Amaya. Boundary walls are eliminated, and structures positioned to provide privacy with essential openness to the terrain. Spaces like meditation pavilions and gardens encourage reflection. To restore nature, we've planted deodar, apple, pear, and walnut trees, enriching the soil and providing nourishment for our guests.

Pickled marigold anyone? At Amaya, even petals find a purpose. What others discard, we put to use – in teas, tinctures, or preserves. A small step toward honoring nature and practicing zero waste.

Nature that gifts, food that inspires.

The shift in climate dictates a move outdoors. Every experience is an architectural extension of the landscape: the Spa for internal alignment, the Dham Lunch for traditional nourishment, and the Riverside Picnic for quiet observation. The Amaya Lab ensures the culinary output is a direct, seasonal equation.

Prepare for a deep, restorative reset.

More than just "room" or "relaxation," Yutori embodies the deliberate creation of both physical and mental space for rest, reflection, and mindful living.

At Amaya, there is the conscious refusal to rush. The profound understanding that non-productive actions are essential to your being. By deliberately slowing down and indulging in what excites you or calms your nervous system, you find the vital balance where productivity and burnout cannot blur the lines.

Every detail at Amaya is hand-crafted to honor the surroundings. Pearlescent marble shutters, shoji-inspired panels, and lime-plastered walls come together in a study of artisanal craftsmanship. From copper roofs by French designer Jean Marc Mareno to techniques developed with West Bengal artisans, a design that evolves with time.

At Amaya, every structure rises gently from its setting, built with stone, wood, and earth drawn from the land itself. By using local materials, each space becomes a continuation of the forest, rather than an interruption. What we take from nature, we give back in balance – restoring, replenishing, and living in true equilibrium with the surroundings.

Slow mornings, the Himalayas as company, and a book in hand.
