Just five minutes from the base of the iconic Taktsang Monastery, Zanta Spa is one of Paro’s best-kept secrets. A soothing hideaway where weary hikers, non-hikers, families, and wellness-seekers can unwind in absolute peace. Just back from Tiger’s Nest or choosing rest over another ascent, this is where your body, mind, and soul receive the care they long for.
Why Zanta Spa Is a Must-Visit in Paro
Zanta Spa sits quietly at the foot of the mountain, offering a serene alternative to the climb above. Not everyone can make the hike to Tiger’s Nest, and that’s perfectly all right. If you’re travelling with young children, caring for elderly parents, or simply prefer to take it easy, Zanta Spa becomes the ideal waiting haven where you can unwind, recharge and pamper yourselves in complete comfort.
Ideal for Everyone — Hikers, Non-Hikers, Families
If you’re planning to skip the trek, Zanta Spa makes your day just as meaningful. If you’re waiting for someone who’s hiking, it’s the loveliest place to spend a few hours. And if you did make the climb, this is the pampering reward your body will thank you for.
