"To have a restful mind is to relax in your nature.” This philosophy, inspired by the teachings of His Eminence Gyalwa Dokhampa, is woven into everyday life at the Sanctuary. The team’s goal is for guests to depart with a lasting sense of positive change and to carry this renewed mindset into their daily lives at home. Two resident traditional Bhutanese doctors serve as wellness guides, crafting personalized plans for each guest. The spa boasts six treatment rooms offering distinctive healing therapies, including Ku Nye (a signature Bhutanese massage), Moxibustion (a traditional Chinese medicine practice), and Numtsug (a signature hot oil compression). Guests can also enjoy facilities such as steam rooms and saunas for men and women, two traditional hot stone baths with individual treatment beds, a gym, a heated indoor pool, and a yoga and meditation room. For a unique form of relaxation, guests can even partake in supervised sessions at the ceramic/art studio.

The Culinary Team prepares a variety of delicious dishes in an open kitchen, using locally sourced produce. Ingredients are harvested fresh from the resort’s own garden or greenhouse and nearby farms, with a focus on seasonal vegetables, fruits, and fresh herbs. The kitchen is happy to customize meals to accommodate any dietary intolerances. In the mornings, guests can opt to assemble their own breakfast and enjoy it in the comfort of their rooms for a more relaxed experience.

• The eastern signature treatments such as the Ku Nye massage and Numtsug (compression with hot oil).
• The use of wild therapeutic herbs and spices in the spa. Bhutan has a strong tradition of herbal medicines and is the ‘land of therapeutic herbs’.
• The walk to the Tiger’s Nest: a stunning monastery that looks as though it’s hanging onto the rockface of a steep cliff. Not an easy hike - 5 hours there and back – along a steep rocky path and at height, so take your time! Once at the top, breathe in the fresh air and hang your prayer flag from the cliff, enjoying views over the valley.

• For all stays in Bhutan, the government requires a Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) per person per night. This fee helps improve infrastructure and services, enhance the tourist experience, and support carbon-neutral tourism efforts. 
• From 2022 onwards, visitors can plan their own holiday. Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary has an in-house travel agency to manage all these arrangements for you.
