Uma Paro

Discover Uma Paro in a forgotten enclave of the Himalayas – a place defined by a commanding silence...

Uma Paro sits on a tree-clad hill overlooking Paro. The town is flanked by rice paddies, wheat fields, trout-filled streams and scattered settlements.

Uma Paro offers exceptional style in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. Reflecting an understated philosophy of quiet comfort in a unique, culture-rich location, this inland retreat is also dedicated to activity and adventure.

The landscape is dramatic with pine-clad valleys and snow-tipped ranges. Bhutan is Buddhist, retaining respect for religious tradition. Access this world with the inland treks, comprehensive tours and excursions led by Uma guides.

Discover the awesome power of the mountains in a place that nurtures mind, body and spirit

Our rooms and suites are located in glades planted with azaleas, maximising views of forest, mountains and the Paro Valley. Materials include handcrafted stone, wood and tiles. The main building, formerly a Bhutanese nobleman’s home, forms the hotel’s heart.

Bhutan’s vernacular imprint is felt in timber darkened by smoke from wood fires, and white walls vividly painted by local artists. Villas all have a ‘bukhari’ stove. The landscaping is soft, with orchards, lawns and pathways preserving the original contours of this rugged land.

At Uma Paro, our approach to cuisine is modern, light and respectful of local nuances. Menus revive traditional Bhutanese offerings as well as offer contemporary interpretations of neighbouring cuisines. These include Indian dishes from the charcoal tandoor oven.

The experience is nourishing, relying on fresh produce grown in the surrounding region, from hand-churned butter, to wild mushrooms and honey. All this can also be enjoyed on room service menus. We also offer classic comfort dishes from pizzas to burgers.
