Most visitors report excellent and enthusiastic staff and guides readily available for excursions.

Food is offered in the excellent Bhukhari, which uses the very best of local produce.

If you need to re charge the batteries, you can always utilise the amazing COMO Shambhala Retreat which includes four treatment rooms offering Ayurvedic and Asian inspired treatments.

The official Uma Paro web site says:

“Opened in 2004, Uma Ubud became COMO Hotels & Resorts second inland retreat dedicated to Uma’s understated philosophy of quiet comfort in inspiring, culture-rich locations. Its arrival coincided with Uma Paro, which opened in the wildly beautiful Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.

Enjoy the adventure. At Uma Ubud, you won’t fail to fall in love. Simply listen to the life - animals, birds and people - that exudes from Ubud’s enchanted forests and mist-wrapped paddies.”

The major selling point of this place is it’s inspired location. 38 acres of resort overlooking the Rinpung Dzong (ancient stronghold) and the Paro river.

Double rooms sell for £160 ($320) per night.
