Amanfayun Hangzhou: Secluded Village Stay near Temples, Tea Fields & West Lake

Tucked into a historic Chinese courtyard village just a short drive from Hangzhou’s famed West Lake, Amanfayun blends tranquil forest groves, ancient monasteries and authentic village charm with discreet luxury and thoughtful hospitality.

Heritage Courtyard Rooms & Private Villas

Across restored village lanes lie 42 individual accommodations, ranging from Village Rooms to two-bedroom villas. Many residences date back more than a century and open onto shaded garden courtyards with bamboo and plum trees. Interiors feature clay‑tiled roofs, calligraphy art, underfloor heating, lush king-size beds and refined detailing—all designed to reflect a timeless Dong‑Chinese aesthetic.

Spa Sanctuary & Wellness Library

The expansive Aman Spa unfolds in five bamboo-swathed pavilions that include a foundational Bath House with wooden soaking tubs, steam rooms and rain showers; plus a Treatment House with five spa cabins, a reflexology house, and a Finishing Salon. A 20‑metre tree-framed heated outdoor pool, yoga & meditation room and pilates studio complete the serene wellness environment.

Dining Along the Historic Fayun Pathway

Culinary venues line the waterfront path or stand within tranquil courtyards. Choose from traditional steamed fare at the Steam House, regional Hangzhou classics at Hangzhou House, ritual-style teas at the Tea House, comfort-Western offerings at The Restaurant & Bar, or light modern snacks at the Café. Guests may also dine in their courtyard, arranged by personal butler service.

Spiritual Excursions & Tea-Field Walks Nearby

Amanfayun sits along one of Hangzhou’s sacred pilgrimage circuits, within walking distance of Lingyin Temple—a thousand-year-old Buddhist monastery. Nearby trails wind through tea plantations, moss-covered carvings in Feilai Feng, seven local temples and bamboo forest pockets, all inviting early morning sunrise or guided cultural visits.

Seamless Access to Hangzhou & Cultural Immersion

While deeply secluded in nature, the resort remains just 20 minutes by car from Hangzhou city centre and 6 km from West Lake. High‑speed rail from Shanghai or private transfers connect effortlessly. On-site talks at Fayun Place encompass topics like calligraphy, tea ritual, Daoism and Chinese medicine traditions.

Refined Tranquility Rooted in Heritage

Amanfayun offers an experience grounded on heritage architecture, immersive water gardens, creative dining, discreet service and restorative ambience. In this peaceful sanctuary, service is precise yet gentle, with guest assistants available round the clock to weave together cultural insight, village life and intuitive relaxation.
