Luxury Bhutan

In recent years the luxury side of Bhutan has come of age. True five star resorts are now ready to welcome guests, combining the tranquility of Bhutanese culture with an appreciation of luxury travel.

Resorts such as Amankora represent the highest standard of service and comfort, tailoring to the needs of travellers who value their privacy and appreciate fine architecture. The bridging of Bhutanese traditions with international standards of service result in a unique opportunity. In 2021 we welcomed the opening of new properties from Six Senses and in 2023 the &Beyond Punakha Riverlodge, adding another style of resort luxury to your travel options.

It’s not just the well known names that offer something special. There are independent hotels and heritage stays now available in Bhutan as well. In the high valley of Phobjikha, where the sacred black-necked cranes spend their winter, there is a modest sized lodge that welcome no more than 12 couples at a time. The chef is trained in Singapore but is a local Bhutanese character well known and well loved by her country men.

As the standard of hotels rise in Bhutan, so too the options to make your trip memorable. Helicopter flights that take you to the edge of glaciers for example. Difficult to arrange and subject to high altitude weather conditions, but when the stars align such a day trip can place you in terrain where few other people have stepped.

There are also options for regular tours to get a little luxury upgrade. It’s money well spent to enjoy tranquil moments at the Punakha River Lodge or finish your adventure with a few nights at Zhiwaling Heritage for example, a 5 star hotel that receives many of our international dignitaries when staying in Paro. We have so many options for our guests, we just need to find out what you’re looking for and what your budget allows.
