Discover Uma Paro—A Hidden Bhutanese Enclave

Uma Paro offers exceptional style in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Situated on the cusp of the Paro Valley amid forested mountains, enjoy incredible views of the Himalayans. The landscaping is soft, with orchards, lawns and pathways preserving the original contours of this rugged land.

The resort integrates Bhutanese style and contemporary elegance with sleek, uncluttered interiors. Rooms and suites are located in glades planted with azaleas, maximizing views of forest, mountains and the Paro Valley. Materials include handcrafted stone, wood and tiles. Bhutan's vernacular imprint is felt in timber darkened by smoke from wood fires, and white walls vividly painted by local artists. The main building is formerly a Bhutanese nobleman's home. Villas all have a 'bukhari' stove.

COMO Shambhala Retreat is Uma Paro's holistic heart, a place to improve wellness with Asian-inspired treatments, including massage and Ayurveda. Facilities include treatment rooms, a Hot Stone Bath house, a large indoor pool with outdoor sundeck, steam rooms for men and women, a gym and Yoga studio with Paro Valley views. Each of the nine villas has its own private therapy suite.

At the Bukhari restaurant, immerse yourself in the tastes of Bhutan, enjoying wholesome cuisine harvested from fields and forest. The approach to cuisine is modern, light and respectful of local nuances. Menus revive traditional Bhutanese offerings as well as offer contemporary interpretations of neighboring cuisines. Classic comfort dishes from pizzas to burgers are also offered.

Explore the town of Paro and visit the Kingdom's iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery or sample hiking, archery and mountain biking. From colorful festivals and markets, to historical museums, monasteries, and temples, experience Bhutan's culture with personalized itineraries.
