Six Senses Thimphu is a dreamlike Bhutanese lodge in the shadow of the Himalayas, with a design inspired by the Dzong fortress and an inspiring view over the valley. The light-filled rooms are equipped with Bukhari wood-burning stoves and antique washed carpets, complemented by local artwork and natural textures of wood and stone. Spend your time between the yoga pavilion, the organic restaurant, and the Six Senses spa—or find a spot above the tranquil pools and plan your route to the ancient monasteries, just a walk away in the forest.
The Bhutanese believe that happiness is the result of good health. That's why local wellness treatments focus on balancing the body, strengthening the immune system, opening the mind, and expanding consciousness to support spiritual healing. Look forward to a combination of massage and relaxation therapies, yoga and meditation programs, and fitness facilities with heated pools, fitness rooms, hot stone baths, and a sauna. Helicopter flights can also be arranged from Paro Airport, allowing you to view the picturesque surroundings from above, or you can visit the bustling capital with its many attractions.
The architecture and design of the spacious lodge reflect the values of Bhutanese culture: simplicity and harmony. The lodge reflects a special aspect of Bhutan and offers guests new perspectives on their journey through the five valleys. The light-filled rooms are equipped with Bukhari wood-burning stoves and antique washed carpets, complemented by local artwork and natural textures of wood and stone, as well as a complimentary view of the valley and the 52-meter Buddha statue. Up to eleven guests can enjoy an intimate atmosphere in the only three-bedroom villa in the Thimphu Valley, nestled among pine trees, with solid oak walls and clouds passing over whitewashed stone.
On your trip to Bhutan, you can be sure to gain a deep impression of the local environment and traditions – including the cuisine. With its high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and views of the Himalayan peaks, the Namkha restaurant provides an elegant setting for dinner in any season. The restaurant is known for its healthy cuisine, which focuses on local ingredients harvested fresh from its own organic gardens. The menu offers a diverse selection of Asian and international specialties as well as authentic Bhutanese dishes such as momos dumplings with a fiery ezay sauce. If you want to toast your dream vacation in the evening, the butterfly blossom daiquiri is an absolute highlight.
