Uma by COMO Paro, is an intimate, 29-room resort featuring the most exclusive private villas in Bhutan with an enviable location in the Paro Valley. Villas at Uma by COMO Paro are entirely private, with soul-stirring views of forest, mountains and the surrounding valley. Each villa occupies its own glade planted with azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias and hydrangeas.

Built of handcrafted stone, wood and tiles, the villas feel at Bhutanese and luxurious, with wood furniture vividly painted with flowers by local artists. Indian cotton bed covers have hand-stitched patterns paying homage to Bhutan’s Buddhist culture and colors, and hand-knotted rugs are from nearby Nepal. Facilities at the hotel include an indoor swimming pool, yoga studio, steam rooms for men and women, gym, alfresco sundeck and restaurant.
