A stay at Uma by COMO, Paro is about immersing yourself in the richly textured culture of Bhutan while enjoying the luxuries of a COMO resort.
The villas at Uma by COMO, Paro are entirely private, with soul-stirring views of forest, mountains and the surrounding valley. Each one occupies its own glade planted with azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias and hydrangeas. Built of handcrafted stone, wood and tiles, the villas feel at once Bhutanese and luxurious with wood furniture vividly painted with flowers by local artists. Indian cotton bedcovers have hand-stitched patterns paying homage to Bhutan’s Buddhist culture and colours, and hand-knotted rugs come from nearby Nepal.
The result is a luxury resort with a fresh, original look that feels sleek even as it recognises Uma Paro’s cultural context
