Located on a 38-acre site sitting on a forested mount, Uma Paro was once the home of a Bhutanese nobleman and is a resort of exceptional style and elegance. The building, one of Bhutan’s only boutique hotels, features handcrafted stone, wood and tiles and white walls vividly painted by local artists. 29 suites including private villas can be found amongst glades planted with azaleas, and each suite features a traditional wood-burning stove.

Fusing Bhutanese tradition with the best of modern-day technology, Zhiwa Ling is a forward-thinking hotel faithfully rooted in the past. Guestrooms blend elaborate hand-carved wooden cornices with Swedish underfloor heating to create a comfortable tribute to Bhutan’s ornate architecture. Some feature sitting and dining rooms and all boast Paro valley views, best enjoyed from your sofa or balcony. And the amenities don’t stop there. The spa is decked out with a sauna, steam room and traditional outdoor hot stone bath, while two restaurants serve a range of regional and international dishes. The spiritually inclined are particularly well catered for and can experience an authentic Buddhist ceremony at the in-house temple, made from 450 year old timbers from the famous Gangtey Monastery, and practise yoga at the Meditation House.

In the scenic Paro valley, a place of small villages and terraced fields, sits the Six Senses Paro. The new building sits on the site of an abandoned 16th century stone fortress that inspired the name of the lodge; “Stone Ruins”. The property has been designed to mimic the old style of the fortress and built using locally-cut stone. Inside the decor is calm and serene with simple, contemporary wooden furniture finished with fabrics in rich earthy tones. The hotel offers 16 spacious suites and a small collection of villas, all with beautiful valley views and each featuring a roaring log burner for those chilly evenings. The ensuite bathrooms, in keeping with the rooms themselves, are spacious and offer an understated luxury with all the comforts and amenities you’d expect. There’s indoor and outdoor dining at the hotel and two bar options – each has spectacular views out to the natural world. These social areas also feature log fires for a cosy and comforting atmosphere. The outdoor dining area is large, with a floor of huge stone flagstones. Experience complete relaxation in the hotel’s Six Senses Spa, a haven of warmth and tranquillity. Revel in the outdoor sauna and cool dip, the yoga room and meditation and relaxation areas. There’s also a beautiful indoor swimming pool, housed within a stone space, one wall made of glass and with a curved wooden ceiling, an architecturally stunning room.
