COMO Uma Paro is an intimate luxury resort hidden away in a delightful and serene forest in the Paro Valley, within easy distance of the tiny kingdom’s great cultural landmarks.
Blending local artisanship with COMO’s contemporary style, the resort invites you to become immersed in the richly textured culture of Bhutan while enjoying the comforts of a COMO resort. Nine private cottage-sized villas are scattered throughout the resort, each built from handcrafted Bhutanese stone, timber and tiling. In addition, there are 20 excellently appointed rooms in the large main building.
The resort boasts the exceptional COMO Shambhala Retreat (including two traditional Bhutanese hot stone bath rooms, a gym and pool), as well as yoga sessions and an archery field showcasing Bhutan’s national sport.
After a day’s adventures, the menu at the yurt-shaped Bukhari restaurant won’t disappoint with its full and delectable Indian menu, in addition to local Bhutanese cuisine. It’s little wonder Bhutan’s royal family regularly make this their Paro restaurant of choice. Much of their fresh produce comes from their own organic kitchen garden, which they maintain in partnership with local farmers from the Paro Valley. There’s also the elegant Uma Bar for all-day dining that incorporates healthy COMO Shambhala cuisine designed to maximise energy and wellbeing.
