Zhiwa Ling Heritage  

Perched just outside Paro, about 7 km from the city center, Zhiwa Ling Heritage is a wholly Bhutanese‑owned heritage hotel and the country’s only property certified as a National Geographic unique lodge.

Dzong‑inspired architecture greets you with intricately carved woodwork, traditional stonework and hand‑painted murals. Eight standalone cottages—each named for one of the Eight Lucky Signs—mix Bhutanese motifs with modern comforts like Swedish underfloor heating. Electric golf carts ferry luggage to rooms, which feature essentials such as TV and slippers (services may vary by room).

Relax in the spa center and sauna, dive into the pool or keep fit in the gym. There’s a library, picnic area, elevator access and parking, plus concierge, ironing and press services. Practical touches and Bhutanese charm meet modern convenience.

An on‑site restaurant serves meals and a bar offers drinks for evenings on property—stop by for a nice meal and a relaxed nightcap.
