Adding a hefty dose of cool, contemporary living to this rural, remote region outside Pokhara, Pavilions is a fantastic balance of sustainability, community-minded priorities, and luxury. Days here can be spent taking a yoga session, helping out on the farm, enjoying a spa treatment, hiking mountain trails, or simply relaxing by the infinity pool and soaking in the Himalayan views. As you’d expect from a property on a farm, the restaurant’s weekly menu makes the most of the organic produce with farm-to-table dining, while the spa treatments are equally natural and enticing.
The 14 spacious villas of the farm blend seamlessly into their surroundings, with stone walls, Nepali textiles and art, and high ceilings. On a warm day, step out onto your private terrace to take in the views with a coffee, while cooler evenings invite you to curl up in front of the fireplace. Powered by renewable energy and with water recycling plants, the eco-credentials are impeccable, adding to the sense of guilt-free indulgence. A satellite camp offers a separate experience, with eight glamping villas set around Phewa Lake for those looking to truly escape the real world.
Perched on a hillside an hour from Kathmandu and just beyond the city of Bhaktapur, Dwarika’s Resort Dhulikhel is a serene spot with meditative views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks on a clear day.
Standing as a beacon of sympathetic restoration, skilled craftsmanship and ancient practices, Dwarika’s is a boutique property in a residential area of Kathmandu.
Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge straddles a ridge 1,000 ft above the valley, with breathtaking panoramic views of the mighty Himalayas.
