Are you looking for luxurious yet intimate accommodation surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Bhutan? COMO Uma Punakha welcomes you to the edge of the mountains overlooking the Punakha Valley. Here you will find absolute peace and first-class service: the lodge's rooms and villas are comfortably furnished and will enchant you with their clean design, combined with brightly colored Bhutanese artwork. The exquisite spa will pamper you with soothing treatments based on traditional Asian methods, such as the Bhutanese hot stone massage. Culinary delights await you here, too, with a delicious mix of aromatic Bhutanese dishes and classic international cuisine.
The area around the Punakha Valley is full of mysterious places waiting to be discovered. That's why COMO Uma Punakha offers not only day trips but also multi-day excursions: for example, you can go on a tour with a professional photographer and learn the secrets of landscape photography against a beautiful backdrop. Or you can choose your own activities from the many options offered by the lodge itself – rafting on the Mo Chhu River, hiking on the diverse trails through the mountains to unique temple complexes... In the afternoon, the exclusive COMO Shambhala Retreat awaits you with traditional and holistic treatments that bring body and soul into harmony and allow you to relax deeply. Yoga and meditation are also very important here and have a special effect in the calming atmosphere of the mountains.
From the Valley View Rooms, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Punakha Valley, and some rooms even have their own terrace. Inside, you will find a comfortable king-size or twin bed, furniture made from sheesham wood, and colorful murals by Bhutanese artists. The villas offer plenty of space to relax, with a separate living area, dressing room, and elegant bathroom. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom allow you to start the day with a stunning view of the sunrise over the valley, and the spacious terrace perfectly completes this unique experience.
At Bukhari, the restaurant at COMO Uma Punakha, you will be treated to the delicious flavors of Bhutanese cuisine, but international classics are also served here. The ingredients, sourced locally and from the restaurant's own garden, reflect the fertility of the Punakha region, which is considered one of the richest agricultural areas in Bhutan. You can dine in the restaurant's elegant interior or on the spacious terrace with views of the surrounding countryside. You can also dine in your private quarters or take a trip in the region and enjoy Chef Tshering Lhaden's delicious menus at a picnic in your favorite spot – for example, on the gentle banks of the Mo Chhu River.
Nestled among lush green rice terraces and surrounded by picturesque valleys, COMO Uma Punakha is much more than just a first-class 5-star hotel offering the highest level of comfort. The small resort was built in the traditional style of the country, which is also reflected in the interior. This gives the rooms and villas a unique charm and a very special feel-good atmosphere, which is emphasized by light wood and stylish paintings. Look forward to panoramic views of the mountains, the rice terraces, or the Mo Chhu River.
