The Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary is perched on the hills in Paro’s beautiful Neyphu Valley, a serene haven surrounded by lush pine forest. The hotel is designed to resemble a traditional Bhutanese fortress, and there are many tranquil courtyards and gardens nestled within the complex. Guests can choose between the Balcony Room or the slightly larger Terrace Room, and all rooms benefit from gorgeous valley views. Rooms are designed in keeping with the hotel’s intimate and minimalist style, but are equipped with many thoughtful extra touches, such as under-floor heating in the bathroom, locally-made toiletries, and the minibar included in the room price. Rates include all meals, non-alcoholic drinks, and spa treatments. There is a big focus on wellness here, and the extensive spa offers a number of traditional Bhutanese treatments, including hot-stone baths.
