Luxury Bhutan Tours made for&nbsp;you

Nestled deep in the hush of Bhutan’s flourishing wilderness, this heavenly mountain retreat looks out over the rushing Mo Chu River as it winds through orchards and rice fields. Discreetly sleek with its calming, signature COMO style, Uma Punakha enjoys spectacular untouched valley and river views. Gaze at these sublime panoramas from your hillside room or villa. While some feature private terraces, all boast enormous beds, wood-burning stoves and neutral colour schemes peppered with traditional hand-painted wall designs portraying local scenes. The restaurant, Bukhari, then offers an array of delicious dishes made from fresh, local farming produce for an authentic taste of local life. Meanwhile the spa promises complete relaxation with holistic, Asian-inspired treatments, therapies and massages.

Punakha

Uma Punakha

With a name derived from the Sanskrit word for peace, you can rest assured that your stay at Amankora Bumthang will be full of serenity and comfort. Located within the district’s main town of Jakar, the elegant lodge holds a premier position adjacent to the first and second King of Bhutan’s palace, Wangdichholing. The lodge has a classical Bhutanese design with a dzong-inspired entrance which opens out into a pleasing lounge featuring a traditional wood burning stove. The 16 suites have been separated out into four structures for maximum privacy and are accessed through an imposing stone hallway. Each room is appointed with wood-panelled interiors, wood burning stoves and a daybed overlooking the courtyard and the nearby palace and monastery, as well as all the usual high-end conveniences. The attractive courtyard offers a delightful opportunity for dinning outside under the shade of fruit trees and spa facilities can be found near the main entrance hall. Not that you’ll want to spend all your time in your quarters – the lodge is perfectly situated for exploring Jakar and the surrounding Choekhor Valley with the former royal sports ground of Bhutan’s first two kings lying beside the entrance avenue.

Bumthang

Amankora Bumthang

The newly built hotel draws on both the unique Bhutanese style of rural architecture and the talents of a top interior designer to compliment the sweeping views of its valley setting. The intimate, boutique hotel has just 12 exquisitely appointed rooms, each reflecting the kingdom’s rich cultural heritage. Guests will find a mellow fireplace and cosy fabrics in earthen tones warming their rooms, as well as ornate, traditional decorations which deepen the feeling of an authentic Bhutanese experience. Wall to ceiling valley and mountain views adorn the comfortable lounge and dining area which features plush leather sofas – ideal for sinking into after a day of adventure. With both spectacular surroundings and a designer look, the Gantey Lodge is an inspired choice for a stay in the beautiful Gangte Valley.

Gangtey

Gangtey Lodge

Situated in Balakha Village, the Amankora Paro contrasts rustic elements with contemporary design. Its pleasing features include natural rammed-earth walls, gently sloping roofs, wood-panelled interiors and spectacular views of blue pine forests, the 17th-century Drukyel Dzong and Mount Jhomolhari. This impressive lodge features 24 suites, each with a combined lounge and bedroom and traditional wood-burning stove. Centred by a large flagstone courtyard, a lime-washed stone pavilion houses the living and dining room facilities with floor-to-ceiling windows, a library and an outdoor terrace overlooking a small stream. A spa set on two levels features a yoga studio with glass walls and treatment rooms with outdoor baths.

Paro

Amankora Paro

You’ll find this exclusive lodge set upon a forested knoll near the village of Gangtey in the picturesque Phobjikha Valley. It benefits from the privacy, seclusion and attention that comes from having just eight suites, as well as sweeping views of the broad valley and the 16th-century Gangtey Monastery. Each suite features an open-plan living and bedroom area with a traditional bukhari – fire burning stove – positioned between the bedroom and the bathroom. Cosy chairs, sofas and family-style dining tables appoint the lounge which features floor-to-ceiling windows for breath taking views over the valley and surrounding mountains. Spa facilities with private treatment rooms can be found on the lodge’s ground floor.

Where to go

Thimphu

A relaxed, friendly city, dominated by the 17th century Tashichho Dzong. Intrinsically Bhutanese, despite a sense of gradual modernization.

Punakha

A small town with a lot of character; regal and relaxed. The fully restored Punakha Dzong is considered one of the country’s most spectacular fortresses.

Bumthang

A naturally beautiful region with two national parks to discover and strewn with temples and ancient sacred sites.

Gangtey

Another naturally stunning area where black necked cranes visit from Tibet each winter. Also home to Nyingmapa, Bhutan’s largest monastery.

Paro

A pretty little town with lots going on. Paro is the starting point for the hike to the iconic Tiger’s Nest monastery and it’s also home to the Bhutan's fascinating national museum.
