Nestled amidst the enchanting blue pine trees of Paro, one of Bhutan’s captivating valleys, lies COMO Uma Paro—a graceful sanctuary comprising a hillside lodge with 20 suites and nine charming standalone villas. This haven seamlessly harmonizes with its natural surroundings, blending traditional aesthetics with artisan-crafted woodwork and hand-painted walls, reminiscent of its noble origins as a former aristocratic residence turned spa retreat.

A mere 10-minute drive from the airport, and a scenic 45-minute journey from the renowned Taktsang “Tiger’s Nest” Monastery, COMO Uma Paro offers a tranquil escape from the bustling world below. As you traverse the path from the airport to the resort, the landscape may not immediately captivate, but upon arriving at the sprawling 38-acre property adorned with vibrant wildflowers, the majestic presence of the Himalayas embraces you, overpowering the distant hum of landing planes.

The villas, constructed using stone, wood, and tile, gracefully follow the natural contours of the sloping terrain, interconnected by winding paths. Each villa is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship, featuring hand-knitted rugs sourced from Nepal and cotton bedcovers adorned with traditional Bhutanese patterns.

COMO Shambhala Retreat, an embodiment of the brand’s wellness philosophy, presents an oasis within the sanctuary. Guests can participate in complimentary evening yoga classes led by a naturopathic doctor in the studio, where floor-to-ceiling windows unveil breathtaking forest views. Indulge in Asian-inspired holistic treatments, including reflexology and Ayurvedic therapy, or immerse yourself in the upscale rendition of a traditional hot stone bath house. COMO Uma Paro awaits a sanctuary where nature’s embrace and exquisite hospitality intertwine, inviting you to immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of Bhutan’s cherished landscapes.
