Six Senses Thimphu Lodge

At Six Senses, the design is beautifully simple with repurposed solid wood tables and glass walls to let the light in. The central pavilion houses the atmospheric bar and rustic main restaurant, Namkha, where you can tuck into specialties from across Asia like slow cooked yak with glass noodles and chilli. You can even join the chef for a stroll through the garden followed by a four-course lunch. The spa is spread across multiple pavilions, offering Himalayan salt scrubs and traditional Bhutanese healing rituals.

Decorated in vegetable-dyed Himalayan rugs, hand-crafted objets d'art and floral motifs, there are 25 suites or villas (with between one and three bedrooms). Light wooden walls and floor-to-ceiling windows combine to make a bright space warmed by traditional wood-burning stoves, and other amenities include a wine fridge, espresso machine and yoga mats. The villas have varying stand-out features including a courtyard, living/dining area and spa treatment room - and some have their own telescope! Behind a privacy screen, the bathtub sits next to expansive windows with a separate rain shower as well.
