FITS RIGHT INTO THE COUNTRY’S CULTURAL LANDSCAPE
Inspired by the ornate architecture of Bhutan’s historic temples, the luxurious Zhiwa Ling Heritage fits right into the country’s cultural landscape.
Set among 10 acres of gardens in the Paro Valley, this is a tranquil base for exploring Paro’s sacred sites. Fashioned after a traditional Bhutanese Dzong (fortress), every part of the property has been handcrafted by skilled local artisans, from the huge wooden beams to the hand-painted ceilings and walls. It even has its own temple built out of 450-year-old timber.
This theme continues into the spacious rooms and suites where intricate carvings, colourful paintings and traditional fabrics meet modern day comforts like Swedish under-floor heating. All have private balconies where you can take in the crisp mountain air.
When not exploring the valley, you can head to the hotel’s spa to enjoy a soak in its traditional outdoor hot-stone bath, or take a quiet moment in the intimate tea house. Yoga retreats are held in the Meditation House, complete with magical views of Tiger’s Nest, and local Bhutanese dishes are served in the Lingka and Gawa restaurants. The hotel bar, the Mad Monk, is a welcoming space where you can sip local cocktails and wines by the open fire.
