The Postcard Dewa

Review Stars

The Postcard Dewa offers a beautifully secluded escape nestled on the forested slopes just outside Thimphu.

Six Senses Thimphu is often called the “Palace in the Sky,” and it really does feel like one. The lodge sits high above Thimphu in a quiet, peaceful area surrounded by pine trees and wide valley views. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel calm and relaxed. The design is inspired by a Bhutanese fortress — simple, elegant and warm.
