Accommodation
All 24 rooms are minimalist in design while nodding to the traditional Bhutanese style with decorative wall hangings, ornate woodwork and cushions dressed in colourful checks and stripes. Every room has vast, timber-framed windows with pacifying views of the mountains and the nearby temple, opening onto a terrace or balcony – both ideal for morning coffee and reading the copy of The Restful Mind let in the room. Organic bathroom toiletries are handmade by a local artisan and guests can choose from a selection of scents.
