Checking In: Six Senses Bhutan

The incredible Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan remains an enviable bucket list destination, renowned for its mystique, spirituality, diversity of landscape and mix of cultures. All eyes are on the latest hotel offering from Six Senses as it brings its luxury style to this enchanting Kingdom.

The much-awaited Six Senses Bhutan spans out five separate locations, offering five unique experiences linking up in to one incredible journey through the Kingdom. A total of 82 guest suites and villas are spread out across the five intimate lodges, set in Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, Bumthang and Paro.

Each of the five locations offers a very different and distinct theme. Start your journey in the capital of Thimphu, and focus on culture, spotting the handcrafted objects and intricate weavings plus handcrafted rust-coloured brick. Move to Punakha, a rural area which is highlighted in the farmhouse-style furnishings.

In Gangtey, the chalet features a unique bird-watching bridge while Bumthang is a forest within a forest, offering a proper woodland escape.

The final stop is Paro, set on a site of old stone ruins, where travellers gather inside stone walls by working fireplaces to share tales of their adventures in this unforgettable destination. For a country that proudly measures itself in Gross National Happiness, it is set to put an incredibly broad smile on every tourist’s face.
