SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

Amankora Punakha Lodge

A luxurious Aman Resort property close to the mystical monastery, Punakha Dzong. Wood-burning stoves, a library with internet connection and traditionally built lodges make a very special Bhutanese experience.

AMANKORA PUNAKHA LODGE

A LUXURIOUS PROPERTY CLOSE TO THE MYSTICAL MONASTERY

In a secluded coconut grove just above a private, crescent-shaped beach, Aman’s first ever resort is nothing short of a tranquil, tropical oasis. First opened in 1988, the Amanpuri – Sanskrit for ‘peaceful place’ – has stone steps leading down to the soft sands of Pansea Beach, where kayaks, paddleboards and the mesmerising Andaman Sea await. Its Thai-style pavilions and luxurious villas are dispersed among the coconut palms, their tall triangular roofs peeping through the swaying canopy. Some have infinity plunge pools, while others come with spacious salas for capturing the magical sunsets. The Ayutthaya-inspired architecture is redolent of ancient Thailand.

Apart from a gorgeous private beach, Amanpuri spoils its guests with floodlit tennis courts, plentiful water sports and a spa that specialises in individual wellness immersion programmes. Its exceptional restaurants offer cuisines ranging from South American to Japanese, and no less than five beautiful golf courses are within easy reach.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
