LUXURY HOTEL BUTHAN

UMA PARO
Po Box 222 - PARO - Bhutan

Uma Paro is an inland retreat, with an understated philosophy of quiet comfort in a culturally rich location. The setting, in all-Buddhist Bhutan, couldn’t be more spectacular: flower-filled valleys, jungle, terraced hills and dramatic ranges wrapped in mist. Uma Paro, a member of the unique Como Shambhala Retreats, is designed for guests seeking greater health through yoga and Asian-inspired treatments. There’s a yoga room overlooking the Paro Valley that can be opened up to catch the mountain breeze, a Jacuzzi, and an indoor pool with sundeck and gym. Also, the surrounding pine forest is home to a 90-square-metre bathhouse, which includes a private massage room for couples…

Accommodations range from rooms with views of the surrounding pine forests or beautiful Paro valley to Suites to luxurious Villas with private spas, hot stone bathtubs and their own private butler service.The restaurant, Bakhari, serves the wholesome cuisine (Western, Bhutanese and Indian) typical of Como Shambhala resorts. There’s also a bar, offering all-day dining and a meeting room with a capacity for 10 guests. The Spa offers Asian inspired holistic therapies including reflexology, Ayurveda and facials and features 4 treatment rooms, an indoor yoga studio with panoramic views of the mountains, gym, steam rooms and indoor pool with outdoor sundeck. Additionally, with Uma Paro, the Bhutanese countryside is easily accessible. Experienced guides provide the expertise to embark on fully-serviced treks, gentle or challenging mountain bike tours, or guided day walks around the cultural highlights of the surrounding hills.














The hotel is located on a 38-acre site atop a tree-clad hill, close to the town of Paro, which is one of the main cultural centres of Bhutan. It is also where the nation’s only airport is located with flights to and from Bangkok, Calcutta, Delhi, Dhaka and Kathmandu with Bhutan's national airline, Druk Air.
