"At the Six Senses Bhutan (actually five different locations throughout the country), guests of the Lodge Suite (at the location in Thimphu) are in an enviable position to capitalize. You’ll see Thimphu Valley through massive windows, and the mountain range and apple orchards from your private deck. Inside, the Bukhari (a traditional wood-burning stove) heats the room." - Yolanda Evans

"Six Senses has five properties in Bhutan, and Como Hotels & Resorts has a property in Paro and Punakha."
"Among the collection of five lodges in the Himalayas, the Thimphu property is already known as a “palace in the sky.” Google images can easily show you why. Two other locations are open in Punakha and Paro, with the remaining two scheduled for later this year. With a private terrace overlooking blue pine forests and apple orchards, the one-bedroom villa is a very natural kind of lush." (Starting $2,480/night)
