Imagine you’re standing on a mountainside, the air crisp enough to make your cheeks turn pink, blossoms are starting to flirt with the sunlight, and in the distance, monks are twirling in the kind of colourful robes that would make your Instagram melt. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? But it’s not. It’s Bhutan. And more specifically, Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary.

This little slice of luxury heaven isn’t your average hotel. Oh no. It’s a wellness-inclusive retreat tucked into the Neyphu Valley, where the pine trees look like they’ve got Pinterest accounts and the rugged cliffs make you think, “Wow, I really should take up rock climbing.” Except you don’t, because Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary is all about indulgence, not exhaustion.

Now, from 7 to 14 April 2025, this magical place is opening its doors for the Paro Tshechu Festival, and honestly, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book a life-changing holiday, this is it!
