Six Senses Bhutan Thimphu Lodge

The 25 suite and villa Six Senses Thimphu is the largest lodge in the collection.

During your stay, explore Tashichho Dzong (fortress) housing the seat of government, two 16th century buildings known as Pangri Zampa and Cheri Goemba Monastery, where the Kingdom’s first monk community was based.

Six Senses Bhutan Paro Lodge

Located at a stunning elevation overlooking the Paro Valley and next to the ancient zone ruins of a dzong fortress, Six Senses Paro has been uniquely designed to maximise its surrounding history and incredible valley views. Known as “Stone Ruins”, the 20-suite and villa lodge is situated near a number of monasteries and monuments, but none so dramatic as Taktsang Lhakhang, or Tiger’s Nest, a highly revered monastery built on a sheer cliff face at a height of 2,950 meters.
