Luxury Travel to Gangtey made for you

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.

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.

Just south of the black-necked crane conservation area in the Phobjikha Valley, past fields dotted with prayer flags and farms, is the Six Senses Gangtey. Boasting 180 degree views of the valley and situated directly above the crane Conservation Center – this is a must-visit for any wildlife and nature enthusiast. In fact, the lodge’s main building, the “Traditional Bird Watching Bridge” provides the perfect place for crane spotting.  The building itself is made of yellow washed sandstone with pagoda style roofing and grey flagstones for the outside flooring. Inside there’s lots of glowing amber wood on the floors, walls and used to create the furniture. A completely sophisticated and contemporary design that embraces nature and the surrounding cultural identity wholeheartedly. Massive picture windows seem to lure you to the outdoors. From the hotel’s elevation the spectacular views go on for miles, the rugged land appearing smooth and wistful as the clouds cast a constant moving shadow of light and dark.  The lodge features spacious 8 suites and 1 large villa which is perfect for groups or families. There’s a grand arrival terrace where guests can catch their first glimpse of Gantey’s unique views. The other social areas consist of a library, living room and lounge, a  fire pit relaxation area and the Baa Zam restaurant. The Six Senses Spa is a haven of relaxation with treatments and therapies featuring both Bhutanese and international techniques. There’s 2 treatment rooms and finally 2 Swedish steam areas.
