Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary

The Bhutan Spirit Sanctaury is not really a resort. It is, first and foremost, an uber luxury spa, supported by five star accommodation and food. The spa facilities and service were outstanding. Our room was bright, spacious, with a to die for view. The bathroom setup with two separate sinks was great, as was the privacy afforded by the separate shower and lavatory enclosures. By the way, the spa offers the services of a traditional Bhutanese medicine practitioner, and he got our diagnoses spot on!

Very welcoming and pampering stay! Stayed at the Terrace Room - spacious, great layout, enjoyable sitting area to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view, excellent in room service, great dining experience, best of all the many pampering spa treatments and adventurous activities like cooking, archery, pottery class to name a few, and laundry service especially when I had been traveling for the past 10 days included in my stay! The property stands by its wellness concept - they not only prepared a packed lunch for me to enjoy while I was on a full day excursion, they also prepared lunches for my private guide and driver. Thank you very much, Juliane Pach (the General Manager) and team of Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary for the warm welcome and pampering stay!

This felt like a home away from home...the rooms are luxurious, spacious and zen. We didn't want to leave the hotel, we just wanted to relax in the room, linger over the special teas, and recharge in the spa. The very caring service, and the MANY thoughtful touches throughout our stay really do make this a sanctuary, and one of my favorite hotels to date. I can't recommend it enough, as it's really a standout experience in a sea of options.

An incredible place to stay in Bhutan if you’re seeking a luxurious and authentic experience. The hotel offers exceptional food and top-notch spa treatments, perfect for relaxation. The team is outstanding, and you can truly feel their dedication to making your stay unforgettable.

We spent two nights here at the end of two weeks travelling around Bhutan and after hiking two days via Bumdra camp and Tiger’s nest. This was an excellent hotel, you are paying a premium for it and the standard of the meals and service justified the price. All staff were trained to a very high standard which you can see as they each complete their roles, it’s nice to see staff trained correctly for this price point as we have been to other regions of the world where the rate is high but local staff haven’t been trained correctly. Our room was on the higher level with a balcony, seating area and very comfortable super king UK size bed. Our only negative about the hotel was the floor boards in the room and hallways outside the rooms squeaked. Luckily we couldn’t hear people in their rooms but when moving at night you will wake up your room partner if you need to go to the toilet. The European manager is very hospitable, greeting guests on arrival, departure and throughout your stay, the right amount of interaction. All staff were excellent. Included in our rate was all 3x meals which were delicious, cooked to a high standard, activities, spa/ massage, laundry per day. All these extras for our rate were worth it. We had a consultation with the traditional doctor which was very interesting and enlightening and we will definitely be implementing his suggestions. The sauna, massage and hot stone bath after our two day hike was very welcomed and excellent. The setting of the hotel and views were amazing. Whenever travelling in a country we stay at a range of hotels based on stars and prices, usually based on reviews. This hotel is on the high side but comparing to other places around the world of a similar rate/ standard we definitely have to say that the rate is worth what you get and will be in our personal favourite top list. If in the region again we will stay here again.

This is one of my favorite hotels ever!!! We were greeted by staff and the hotel manager Juliana upon arrival. We had time for a spa treatment, relaxing drinks with a view and an incredible dinner that evening. After breakfast the next morning, we were provided with a packed lunch for ourselves, our guide and our driver for our planned excursion. Then a repeat of spa, drinks and dinner. The food is amazing and the overall service was just stellar. My only disappointment was with myself for not booking a longer stay. Bhutan is not an easy place to get to - so if it's on your bucket list, make sure this is the only place you stay when you are there!
