Uma Paro, Bhutan

Ever since the Uma Paro opened in the autumn of two thousand four, it has been symbolic of not only luxury but also class and elegance at their finest. The hotel has an incomparable location and overlooks the heavenly valley of Paro in Bhutan. Bhutan is a tiny country nestled in the Himalayan mountain ranges.

The hotel was among the first five-star-rated hotels in Bhutan. The name UMA means “living house” in Sanskrit and is something that requires a good deal of living up to, which the hotel resort manages to do with panache. The hotel has a great range of facilities and amenities that make the experience of staying here so much more special.

The Uma Paro is located a fifteen-minute drive from the airport. The resort has a brilliant mix of tradition and luxury. The hotel is designed with an understated luxury that has an even rustic charm. The hotel is also equipped with a huge number of healing therapies, such as hot stone baths, that have their roots in the indigenous sciences of Bhutan. You also have a variety of unique activities, such as archery, which is the national sport of Bhutan.
