Six Senses Paro

What the classifiers highlight

Twelfth-century farmhouse ruins, older than the kingdom itself, set the theme for this lodge near Paro's airport and the trail up to Tiger's Nest. Forbes counts 16 suites in hand-chiseled stone and timber, hung with vegetable-dyed antique Himalayan rugs, plus a semi-underground spa pool behind floor-to-ceiling glass. Guests can pick herbs in the garden for a cooking class.
