Uma Paro

Uma Paro was the first luxury resort to open in Bhutan and was a pioneer in presenting the country as a luxury destination. It is located in a hillock overlooking the Paro Valley below and surrounded by a 38-acre pine forest. The main lodge retains a Bhutanese style, yet the rooms are chic and minimalist with the odd dash of hand-printed Bhutanese wall paintings. Within the main lodge you find twenty rooms, and we suggest opting for the Valley View Rooms for obvious reasons. Within the grounds there are a range of one or two bedroom villas. The restaurant is exceptional (complete with superb views) and they prepare a range of international and local dishes with many of the ingredients sourced from their own organic garden.
