The 45-room Zhiwa Ling combines the sensibilities of a fine Bhutanese guesthouse with the best of 21st Century technology. Envisioned and created by a local Bhutanese company, the hotel's elaborate hand-carved wooden cornices and masterful stonework coexist beautifully with cutting-edge telecommunication systems and Swedish under-floor heating.
The spa offers all the amenities of a modern fitness center – sauna, steam room, gym – as well as a traditional Bhutanese outdoor hot-stone bath. There is a Business Center, and a Tea House, two fully-equipped conference rooms and a Meditation House. One restaurant specializes in contemporary international cuisine, the other classic Bhutanese dishes. And everyone gathers at the Mad Monk Bar for after-hours fun.
Honoring the spiritual heritage of this ancient Buddhist kingdom, a temple has been built into the second floor of the hotel, made with 450-year-old timbers from the famous Gangtey Monastery, the crowning glory of this new ten-acre cultural landmark in the quiet Paro Valley where Zhiwa Ling fully lives up to its name: Place of Peace.

According to Buddhism, meditation is a straightforward spiritual practice designed to cultivate mental development and an awareness of the present moment. There are two basic types of meditation: Calming Meditation (Samatha), which quiets the mind and leads to higher states of awareness, and Insight Meditation (Vipassana), which improves and cultivates wisdom. In addition to mental benefits, it has been scientifically proven that meditation improves one’s physical health. It induces relaxation and sound sleep, and can help alleviate high blood pressure, heart disease, duodenal and gastric ulcers and many other stress-related conditions. Zhiwaling is pleased to offer its guests Buddhist meditation classes taught by accomplished Bhutanese monks at our very own Samden meditation house which draws its inspiration from a direct view to the Taktsang the Tigers Nest Monastery which is one of the most spiritually intense places in the world.
