Amara Mountain Resort
Kalaw

Top 10s logo 

Amara Mountain Resort is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Secret Gems. 

A quaint colonial cottage which dates from 1909, Amara Mountain Resort is the best hotel in town, and certainly the most charming. Set on a small hill surrounded by evergreen forests, amidst traditional English-style country gardens, an organic vegetable patch and fruit orchards, this is a beautiful property that feels more like an antiquated English home in the heart of Myanmar rather than a hotel.

The eleven rooms are spread over two cottages; one is the original structure, and one more recently added but identical in design and tone. All the rooms are the same and have wooden floors, open fireplaces and homely furniture. The hotel offers an onsite bakery, full board seasonal local produce, a chalet style communal restaurant and a snug spa and sauna – the perfect place to hide away after trekking the Kalaw hills. The staff are attentive and offer a level of hospitality one would expect from such a home away from home.

Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!

Without question, you put together the best trip I have ever taken. We were shown around like visiting dignitaries, the hotels were fantastic and the itinerary was just right. Everybody I know will hear about how amazing Ampersand is!
- Leslie Siben, India
Ballyfin was great - we loved it! Best things were the amount of space, it felt like you had the whole place to yourself, the history of the house, and the staff. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks very much for all the help getting it booked!
