COMO Uma Paro

Character and identity

Set on a 38-acre hilltop estate in pine forest above the Paro Valley, COMO Uma Paro is built in the style of a Bhutanese dzong with an inner courtyard, handcrafted stone, wood and tiles, and interiors that showcase traditional artisan work alongside contemporary lines. Twenty rooms and nine villas are distributed across multiple low blocks following the terrain's contours, ten minutes from Paro International. Wellness anchors the experience: a COMO Shambhala facility with two private hot-stone bathhouses, a 25-metre outdoor lap pool, indoor pool and 24-hour gym. Bukhari, the restaurant, leans on seasonal local ingredients and mountain views.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What defines a stay here is the sense of place: a hillside dzong in pine forest, deeply tied to Bhutanese craft and Paro's hiking culture, with COMO's wellness programme layered on top. Spend the money if you're building a serious Bhutan itinerary and want privacy plus easy trail access. Book a villa for the front porch and seclusion, and let the property plan your trekking days.
