COMO Uma Punakha
Paro, Thimphu & PunakhaUma Punakha is located at the far western end of the lush Punakha Valley. COMO’s second Bhutan hotel sits on a bend in the Mo Chu River and is surrounded by alpine views. A secluded area of Bhutan, it’s a three-and-a-half hour drive from Paro and offers a unique insight into Bhutan’s diverse landscapes, historic sites and spiritual culture.
The property houses nine Valley View rooms as well as two luxury private villas. Each room boasts sweeping views of the landscape and the Mo Chu River, which winds its way through rice fields and orchards.
Dining at Uma Punakha is a joy where you can enjoy numerous Bhutanese delicacies created from produce from local Phunaka farmers.
The COMO Shambhala Retreat is a highlight and offers a range of holistic, Asian-inspired treatments which include signature massages, facials and body therapies. Nestled in a quiet woodland a stone’s throw from the main body of the hotel, the spa delights and soothes the senses with never-ending views of the valley.
