Over the course of this 7 day journey, we will be staying at 3 different luxury accommodations. We will begin our trip at Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, which is the first and only 5-star traditional spa-inclusive resort in the entire country. All of the rooms here have a beautiful view of the scenic Neyphu Valley, and either a large terrace or balcony from which you can take in the incredible views.

From here, we will venture to Dhensa Boutique Hotel, located in Punakha, which is flanked by thick pine forests and overlooks the Punakha river and hundreds of paddy fields that stair-step down to the valley floor. All rooms feature private balconies overlooking the incredible scenery that surrounds the hotel.

Our last stop will be the newly renovated Druk Hotel, which is nestled in the heart of Thimphu and is surrounded by verdant forests. Each floor explores a subtle palette drawn from water, air, earth, fire and sky, and the spa is certainly not to be missed.
