Uma Paro

A Resort in a country that gets less than 10,000 visitors annually obviously holds much more for the loner couple than your average destination. Located on the 38 acre, tree covered hilltop, the hotel embodies asian-inspired aesthetics in its design, and blends indigenous detail, such as carved doors and windows, with clean, modern lines. Choose from nine villas, all over which overlook the dramatic scenery of the Paro Valley. Hot stone bathtubs, private spa areas, and traditional bukahis are a few of the luxuries you can look forward to. For breakfast, enjoy the hand-churned butter and farm cheese. The restaurant’s menu offers traditional specialties-hearty soups, and spicy cured meats.

At 23,000 ft, it helps to take it slow. That’s Why participating in the yoga classes will stand you in good stead, preparing the body and mind to not only adjust to the rarer air but also the stunning scenery-brilliant sunrises, snow-tipped peaks, pristine fir forests-that the wellness space looks out to. There’s Whole lot of asian therapies to choose from here, but you should definitely give the Bhutanese Hot StoneUma Bath a go, a therapy inspired by the local version of So-ba Rig-pa (the Tibetan system of medicine and therapies). Believed to effectively rid you of all your stress, it uses wood-fired stones placed in a bath, where they crack and steam, releasing all theright minerals to make all your aches disppear.
