Accommodation

During your luxury Bhutan journey, you will only stay at carefully selected 5-star properties in Bhutan.

How did we select these properties?

We looked for places that operate beyond the common notion of a 5-star hotel.

We did not look for conventional luxury; we looked for…
Places that focus on excellent service and personal care;
Places that respect Bhutanese culture and local communities;
Places that offer more than an overnight stay.

Every property during your Bhutan journey will offer exceptional experiences, from a consultation with a Traditional Bhutanese Medicine Doctor to midnight stargazing and sunrise breakfast with the monks.

Not a hotel, but your home away from home.

Paro Valley

Just a 15-minute ride from the International Airport in Paro, the Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, an SLH property, is nestled on a mountain slope of the Neyphu Valley.

Built as a Bhutanese monastery, it completely blends in with the natural environment and local community. The Sanctuary is the first and only 5-star wellness-inclusive luxury resort in Bhutan. The ideal location to experience the cultural essence of Bhutan and enjoy a unique form of generous hospitality. Room rates include a private consultation with a Traditional Medicine Doctor and one wellness treatment per day. Due to its central location, it’s the perfect place for long stays, where day excursions to the Tiger’s Nest, the capital Thimphu and the Haa Valley can be alternated with relaxation days enjoying all the included in-house activities, such as Bhutanese cooking classes.

Punakha Valley

Situated beside the tranquil Mo Chu River, the Punakha River Lodge, an &Beyond property, is a quiet retreat with just six canvas-and-wood suites, a private river house, and a spacious family suite.

Cradled by paddy fields and forest, this riverside property invites you to slow down and look within. The lodge blends handcrafted Bhutanese design with quiet elegance. As &Beyond’s first fully owned lodge in Asia, it brings their signature care and light-footprint luxury to Bhutan.

Days begin with the hush of the Mo Chu river and unfold into hikes, temple visits, river adventures, and slow lunches beneath orange trees. This is a place for journeys both far-reaching and deeply personal.

Another option in the Punakha Valley: Pemako Punakha.

Gangtey Valley

Perched high above the pristine nature reserve of the Phobjikha (Gangtey) Valley, Gangtey Lodge, an SLH property, rewards the intrepid traveler with spectacular views over the 17th-century Gangtey Monastery, traditional farmhouses, and dense forested mountains of Himalayan blue pine.

The lodge offers the weary traveler the perfect blend of luxury through adventure, spiritual enlightenment, and deep connections with the culture and community of rural Bhutan. A journey for the senses, as they perfectly balance taste, space, and scenery.
