Going Upscale on a Himalayan Mountainside in Bhutan
Luxury hotels aren't the first thing that springs into mind when you think about the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan — a country so detached from the rest of the world that it only saw the introduction of TV six years ago — but Uma Paro exists as high-living proof that boutique-hotel style can climb even the highest mountains. Just 10 minutes from Bhutan's only airport, Uma Paro perches proudly by the Himalayan mountainside, flanked by thick pine forest. Complete with Ayurvedically inclined Como Shambhala spa, a brilliantly inventive Bhutanese/Indian restaurant, and a welcome so warm it could melt Everest bald, Uma Paro is a romantic getaway like no other. The brainchild of hotel guru, fashionista and international tastemaker, Christina Ong, Uma Paro brings the Como brand of ultra-chic hotel design and spoiling spa luxury to one of the most isolated — and beautiful — corners of the Earth.
