Uma Resort, PARO

Uma Resort is located in the pine forest, high on the hill above the airport in a 38-acre lot. Uma tastefully combines traditional Bhutanese architecture with modern amenities to create the best hotel in Paro. The fusion of clean-lined modernism with indigenous detailing – including carved wooden windows and intricate doors – makes for a fresh aesthetic that recognizes Uhma Paro’s rich cultural context. At the same time, the design maximizes comfort with sleekly efficient amenities.

The foodstuff is largely organic, grown in the surrounding valleys. Other local produce includes hand-churned butter, hand-moulded farm cheese, apple vinegar, and honey sourced from hives in the wildflower-strewn Bumthang Valley, wild mushrooms and popular local red rice.
