Zhiwa Ling Heritage

Overview

Zhiwa Ling Heritage combines timeless Bhutanese craftsmanship with the comforts of a modern luxury retreat. The property’s intricate hand-carved woodwork, traditional stone facades, and Swedish under-floor heating reflect a perfect harmony of heritage and innovation. Spread across 10 acres of landscaped gardens, the resort is entirely Bhutanese-owned and built to embody the country’s cultural spirit.

Eight cottage-style buildings house the suites, all connected by covered walkways that open to mountain vistas and serene courtyards. Guests can unwind at the on-site spa, enjoy meditation at the temple built from 450-year-old timbers, or hold intimate gatherings in the hotel’s fully equipped meeting halls. Zhiwa Ling Heritage stands as a testament to Bhutan’s philosophy of happiness, balance, and sustainable hospitality.
