Wellness is a consistent focus, with many properties offering holistic spas, yoga pavilions and in-house temples for reflection. Cuisine plays a starring role too. Menus feature organic, locally sourced produce and often include private dining options in the wild or by candlelight.

Insider Tips for Choosing Luxury Bhutan Hotels

When choosing between luxury Bhutan hotels, think about what kind of experience you want. Some properties are secluded in valleys perfect for reflection, while others are based in cultural hubs with easy access to temples and markets. Bhutan is a country that values sustainability and authenticity, so select hotels that embrace these principles. The best hotels in Bhutan offer more than opulence – they connect you with the spirit of the place.

For couples and honeymooners, privacy and personalisation often top the list. Many luxury hotels in Bhutan offer curated experiences like candlelit dinners, private monastery blessings and guided hikes. Don’t be afraid to mix locations either – spend a few nights in the peaceful countryside and a few soaking in the atmosphere of Thimphu or Paro. We recommend booking well in advance, especially during Bhutan’s spring and autumn high seasons.
