UMA PARO is a
swanky accommodation located in close proximity to the Paro Airport, also the
venue of choice in hosting the much-talked about wedding of Hong Kong actors
Tony Leung and Carina Lau in 2008. With 20 standard rooms and nine private
villas, the resort overlooks the Paro Valley, boasting stunning cultural
architecture on the outside-but familiar modern settings within
(comohotels.com/umparo).
METTA RESORT &
SPA Peaceful, beautiful and exuding a very real sense of home, owner Mr
Tshering Tobgay and his Malaysian wife Sharine ensures homesick travelers get
their fill of Thai, Chinese, Indian cuisine, making Metta the usual last hotel
stop before flying out of Bhutan. Five-star service sets this three-star
boutique property apart, spacious rooms with flat screen TV, comfortable
air-conditioned living room area, garden, Wi-Fi and even a spa. Guests will
also be giving back to local community, since Mr Tshering donates part of his
earnings to various causes yearly-building bathrooms for 50 monks of a Thimphu
monastery this year, and upgrading of facilities at this alma mater at Haa
Valley in 2014 (bhutanmetta.com.bt).
