The Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary, with just 24 exclusive rooms, is designed for an intimate, deeply personal experience within Bhutan’s serene Neyphu Valley. Each suite faces east, capturing breathtaking Himalayan sunrises and aligning with Bhutanese beliefs in renewal. The architecture embodies traditional Bhutanese craftsmanship, featuring hand-carved wooden beams, stone masonry, and vibrant murals created by local artisans.

The entrance courtyard reflects monastery architecture, honoring Bhutan’s spiritual traditions. Expansive windows create a seamless connection to nature, immersing guests in the valley’s tranquility. The wellness spaces guide guests through a journey of relaxation and introspection, complemented by a heated indoor pool with sweeping views of the mountains. Sustainability is central, with energy-efficient systems, locally sourced materials, and organic, locally grown produce. This sanctuary blends architecture, culture, and nature, providing a peaceful and authentic retreat that fosters healing and a deep connection to Bhutan's spiritual heritage.
