Comprised of five lodges spread over the west and central valleys of this remote Himalayan kingdom, Six Senses Bhutan offers guests a unique adventure with uplifting experiences at every turn.

The architecture and design of the five Six Senses Bhutan lodges reflect the values of Bhutanese culture: simplicity and harmony. The design generator for each lodge was the unique aspects of Bhutanese history, tradition and lifestyle. Each lodge reflects a particular aspect of Bhutan, offering guests new perspectives along their journey through the five valleys. the presence of locally inspired touches, such as bukharis (traditional wood-burning stoves) and vegetable-dyed, antique-washed Himalayan rugs.
The architecture of each lodge satisfies more than functional needs; it also encourages the spirituality, well-being and curiosity of its inhabitants. Rooting our architecture and design in the origin of Bhutanese tradition ensures our lodges reflect and exude the spirit of the country while preserving its rich culture.
