Set halfway up a north-facing ridge in deep pine forest, COMO Uma Paro offers nine exclusive private villas, 20 bedrooms, and a COMO Shambhala Retreat.   The hotel’s interiors are all stone, wood, water, and bamboo. It’s stylish, yet unaffected, has a bold design, a real aesthetic integrity, and works like a charm. Very holistic, Bhutanese chic.

It’s very welcoming, comfortable, classy, well-run, relaxing and beautifully isolated. A hotel where serenity and tradition bow gracefully to each other across the lobby. The restaurant Bukhari is a favorite of the royals, and the decor is simple but elegant thanks to the skills of local artists. Guests at COMO Uma Paro have access to cultural hotspots like the ‘Tiger’s Nest’ monastery and activities such as national sports like archery.

Accommodation

All of the rooms at Uma Paro are models of contemporary comfort and elegance, managing to strike just the right balance between the two without compromising on privacy or style. All of them are infused with natural wood, modern yet understated colors, and sophisticated fabrics. Uma Paro, like most luxury hotels these days, features spacious bathrooms that rival those in some guest rooms. With such discretion, refinement, and cutting-edge amenities, it’s impossible to second-guess a visitor’s intentions. The demands of guests have been carefully considered, with a nod to the distinctively Bhutanese architectural style. The Bukhari Restaurant serves delicious fare and is located in a stunning circular pavilion with a magnificent fireplace at its heart.
