Luxury Resort · Paro
Zhiwaling Heritage
Zhiwaling Heritage is a locally owned luxury retreat where traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship meets understated comfort. Built by Bhutanese artisans, the property brings together hand-carved timber, stonework, spiritual spaces, and contemporary comforts in a setting surrounded by forest and mountain views.
- What makes it special
- Zhiwaling is more than a luxury stay, it is an expression of Bhutanese heritage. Its architecture, interiors, and hospitality are deeply rooted in local traditions, while its private temple, built using 450-year-old monastery timbers, creates a rare sense of place. Guests can experience Bhutan through meditation, traditional arts, archery, local cuisine, and intimate cultural encounters.
- Sustainability
- Sustainability is woven into Zhiwaling’s everyday operations. The property segregates and recycles waste, composts organic waste, reclaims and reuses water, grows food in its own gardens, uses electric vehicles, and sources produce and natural products from nearby communities. Its approach extends beyond the environment to preserving Bhutanese culture and supporting local livelihoods.
- Signature experience, only with GoXimbo
- Living Bhutanese Heritage Spend a morning within Zhiwaling’s private temple, meet local artisans, discover traditional crafts, and share Bhutanese tea before venturing into the Paro Valley. Return for a traditional hot-stone bath and a quiet evening surrounded by the mountains—a day that feels less like a hotel experience and more like being welcomed into Bhutanese life.
Luxury Resort · Thimphu
The Post Card Dewa
A contemporary retreat in the heart of Thimphu, Postcard Dewa brings together modern luxury, Bhutanese character, and a sense of calm above the capital. With thoughtfully designed spaces, panoramic valley views, and personalized hospitality, it offers a sophisticated base from which to discover Thimphu and beyond.
- What makes it special
- Postcard Dewa is intimate and understated, with a design that blends clean contemporary lines with Bhutanese influences. Its elevated setting offers sweeping views across Thimphu, while its small scale allows for a more personal and unhurried experience ideal for travellers who value privacy, design, and thoughtful service.
- Sustainability
- The property takes a considered approach to responsible hospitality, incorporating local materials, thoughtful resource use, and practices designed to reduce its environmental footprint. Its connection to Bhutanese culture and local community also reflects a broader commitment to preserving the character of the destination.
- Signature experience, only with GoXimbo
- Foraging in the Forest Step into the forests surrounding Postcard Dewa with a local guide to discover Bhutan’s seasonal wild plants, herbs, and mushrooms. Learn how these native ingredients have traditionally been used for food and medicine, before returning to the hotel to experience their flavours in an authentic Bhutanese meal. It is an intimate way to connect with Bhutan’s landscape, traditions, and local knowledge. Another very strong option: Stay Blessed at Nyenzerkha Lhakhang — a short hike to a small 7th-century temple overlooking the valley, where guests can meet the lama, light butter lamps, and explore the ancient site with a guide.
Luxury Resort · Punakha
Aman Kora Punakha
Tucked into the lush Punakha Valley, Amankora Punakha is an intimate luxury lodge set within a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse. Surrounded by terraced fields, orchards, and forested mountains, it offers a deeply peaceful retreat and an authentic way to experience the cultural heartland of Bhutan.
- What makes it special
- The lodge’s setting is its greatest luxury. Guests stay within a beautifully restored traditional farmhouse overlooking the Mo Chhu River, with just a handful of suites creating an exceptionally private and personal atmosphere. Its proximity to Punakha Dzong, village life, and ancient temples makes it an ideal base for exploring the valley at a slower pace.
- Sustainability
- Amankora’s approach is rooted in its connection to Bhutan’s natural and cultural heritage. The lodge preserves and celebrates traditional Bhutanese architecture while working with local communities and sourcing locally where possible. Its small scale and integration with the surrounding landscape allow guests to experience Punakha with a light footprint.
- Signature experience, only with GoXimbo
- Mo Chhu Riverside Barbecue A private dining experience beside the tranquil Mo Chhu River, surrounded by pine forest and the mountains of the Punakha Valley. Enjoy a leisurely Bhutanese-inspired barbecue in nature, with the option of a candlelit dinner as the valley settles into evening. Breakfast at Khamsum Chorten Begin the morning with a scenic walk through the lush Punakha Valley, passing through rice fields and traditional farmsteads before reaching the beautiful Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten. After exploring this hilltop temple and taking in panoramic views of the valley, enjoy a private breakfast surrounded by Bhutan’s mountains and countryside—a peaceful and memorable way to experience Punakha.
