VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Situated within stone ruins older than the Kingdom of Bhutan itself, Six Senses Paro honors the ancient history of the land and people. Themed around the distinct 12th-century farmhouse ruins that teeter a stone’s throw away, the lodge transports you back in time while maintaining top standards of the modern traveler.

Clear views of snowcapped mountains are backdropped by dramatic skies, with breathtaking views of Paro Valley at every angle. Directly above Paro National Museum, the lodge stands at a breathtaking 8,800 feet. A convenient stay for arriving or departing Bhutan, the resort is but a short drive from Paro International Airport and is also the gateway to the famed Tigers Nest Monastery.

Natural timber furniture, cool stone and vegetable-dyed, antique-washed Himalayan rugs permeate the design of the 16 suites and smattering of one-, two- and three-bedroom villas, infusing ancient tones into living quarters.

The semi-underground spa offers an indoor heated pool with floor-to-ceiling windows, a fully equipped gym, intimate yoga room and treatment rooms. A pine-filled meditation trail and an organic food menu at the all-day Jangkho restaurant round out superb wellness offerings. Views of Paro Valley, one of Bhutan’s earliest inhabited areas, extend in three directions from almost every angle.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Gather herbs and organically grown vegetables in the onsite gardens, then take them back to the kitchen for a Bhutanese cooking class.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive terrace, brewed with Bhutan's only locally grown beans from Mountain Cafe.
The semi-underground spa offers a sauna and cold plunge pool side by side with stunning mountain views, making it one of the only hotels in Bhutan to do so.
Embark on the half-hour loop hike at the rear of the property, offering nature immersion on your front step.
The Paro hotel can arrange cultural outings. Step back in time with a dinner set at the awe-inspiring ruins of the nearby 15th-century Chubjakha Dzong or light lamps at Samtenling Monastery next door to the property and receive a Tshewang blessing ritual for health and long life.

The Rooms

Garnished with neutral soothing tones, the hand chiseled, local stonework and timber interiors evoke classical Bhutan design while a traditional wood burning stone (called a bukhari) keeps it cozy.
Bathtubs in each suite and villa are supremely outfitted with wide, albeit private, window views. Soak and stare at the Himalayas.
Large windows provide magnificent valley views in each accommodation. With the valley to the front and pine forest at the back, optics are superb no matter where you look.
Able to accommodate large groups, the one-, two- and three-bedroom villas boast extra amenities and a guest experience maker. The latter unit is the only one of its size in Paro Valley.
