Whenever possible, COMO facilities engage with local producers who adopt local raw materials and sustainable production processes. This choice not only supports local entrepreneurs and economies, but also encourages social enterprises and non-profit organisations. The suppliers selected by COMO often offer fresher and higher quality products than those from international markets, coming from the local area and being authentically produced.
In particular, COMO Uma Paro decided to support a young local entrepreneur in opening the first prayer rug printing shop in Bhutan, thus helping to preserve and promote traditional handicrafts and the local economy.
COMO Uma Bhutan invites guests to the heart of the mystical Himalayan Kingdom, in an entirely Buddhist country nestled between China and India. The property consists of two award-winning lodges: COMO Uma Punakha and COMO Uma Paro, respectively recognised as the best hotel and second best hotel in Asia according to Condé Nast Traveler. Together, they offer a unique experience that will take you to the heart of this extraordinary country.
Situated on a hillside overlooking the picturesque Paro Valley, COMO Uma Paro spreads over a 38-acre estate, offering breathtaking views of the pristine mountains and pine-covered slopes. The lodge offers exclusive COMO-style hospitality combined with traditional Bhutanese elements, with 20 elegant rooms and 9 private villas. Guests can enjoy Bhutanese and Western dishes at the Bukhari Restaurant, whose name recalls the traditional ‘bukhari’ hearth. The menu is based on local seasonal ingredients and also includes the renowned COMO Shambhala Cuisine, a healthy offering rich in live enzymes, vitamins and minerals for total well-being.
As a tour operator, COMO Uma Bhutan organises transformative experiences to discover the magic of Bhutan. These include spectacular treks, nature walks and fascinating cultural tours, all led by experienced, English-speaking local guides.
