About The Hotel

At 7,710 feet, Thimphu lies in a steep valley surrounded by richly forested mountains dotted with ancient monasteries and temples, and is the world’s only national capital without traffic lights. Set in apple orchards to the north and young pine forests to the south, the lodge perches on the valley hillside south of the town at 8,695 feet (2,650 meters). Offering spectacular views of Thimphu Valley and across to the giant Buddha, this location provides a comfortable escape from the bustling capital, while close enough to easily access the many attractions.

Sustainable Initiatives

Environmental and Social Responsibility

Six Senses quickly became recognized as the hospitality industry’s pioneer of sustainable practices, demonstrating that responsibility can be successfully wedded to uncompromised high-end facilities. The resort is committed to the local environment, wildlife and communities and it is engaged with 29 community members to support various activities. Sustainability is the foundation for all operations and it is reflected through the management of energy, water, waste, purchasing and chemical usage and engagement with local communities. The resort is passionate about preserving the world’s only carbon-negative country. The resort’s entire energy supply comes from hydropower, and staff work tirelessly to recycle products and protect the local environment. Water is bottled at the on-site reverse-osmosis facility, and there’s an organic garden where vegetables are grown for the restaurant.

Plastic free

At Six Senses, this means going beyond banning single-use plastic and unnecessary waste by implementing a policy to become Zero Waste and Plastic Free, uncovering solutions that have not yet been created and promoting a de-plasticized lifestyle by providing more sustainable alternatives. Joining the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative is another step in this direction to address the root causes of plastic pollution. It enables businesses and governments to take concerted action and lead by example.
