Nestled away in the foothills of the Himalayas, Six Senses Thimpu is the epitome of calm, in a country that has thoroughly perfected the art of tranquillity. Modelled on a traditional dzong, it fits seamlessly into its pristine natural surroundings, feeling as much at home in its orchard and pine forest backdrop as you’ll feel the moment you step inside. Thimphu sits in the valley below, making the Six Senses a perfect base for exploring the capital city, trekking through forested hills, or indulging in the wellness activities of the hotel.
The 25 suites and villas are a masterclass in quiet luxury and meditative design, with natural tones, wood and vast windows that frame the views of the valleys and mountains. Espresso machines, organic mattresses and bed linens, and traditional wood-burning bukhari stoves elevate the experience. If you can bear to leave the room, this thoughtful beauty continues throughout, from the seasonally-inspired, nutritious meals (and exceptional cocktails!) to the holistic spa with its hot stone bath, wellness screening and yoga.
Perched at 2,250 metres, Amankora Paro is tucked away amongst the pine trees on the edge of a village above Paro town and offers access to the monasteries, museums and temples of the region, including the renowned Tiger’s Nest.
