Punakha, Bhutan

Dhensa Boutique Resort is an elegant small hotel set on a mountainside above the Punakha Valley. Tucked among thick pine forests and surrounded by numerous walking trails, the property overlooks the Punakha River and extensive rice paddy fields that terrace down to the valley floor. Marrying contemporary design with the peaceable ambience that defines Bhutanese culture, Dhensa provides soothing accommodations in a minimalist, clean-lined space. Six individual cottages house four guest suites each, all with private balconies for relaxing in solitude. Understated interiors have comfortable beds with luxurious cotton bedding and en suite bathrooms with soaking tubs. Complimentary wireless Internet is provided. Fine meals are served in the glass-enclosed dining area with panoramic views of the valley, or in the fresh air on the broad stone terrace. Local seasonal and organic produce is incorporated into creative menus that features Bhutanese, Asian and Western selections. The Kibu Spa, set in its own cottage with windows onto the forest, offers a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.
