Six Senses Thimphu

A real ‘Palace in the Sky’, Six Senses Thimphu offers its guests a taste of pure luxury from its enviable, elevated location above Bhutan’s capital.

Six Senses Thimphu feels wonderfully secluded from mountainside perch, a position which commands awe-inspiring views of valley’s forested mountains and Buddha Dordenma. Enveloped by apple orchards, blue pine forests and ancient monasteries, it’s a peaceful spot whilst still being within easy reach of the city’s attractions. The design of the lodge is elegant, open plan and reflective of the values of Bhutanese culture. Facilities include a 25-metre heated indoor pool, an indulgent Six Senses Spa and comfortable lounge.

Light wooden furnishings, simple lines and soft neutrals lend a natural feel, whilst outdoor ponds spectacularly mirror the sky above. Guests are accommodated in 25 generously sized villas and suites which come equipped with traditional wood-burning stoves, oversized decks/courtyards, organic bedding and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto the beautiful surroundings. Even the bathrooms, with their large timber-framed windows, have beautiful valley panoramas. Guests can opt to dine in the lodge’s restaurant or privately in their room.
