Hotel Pemako - Punakka

Along the banks of the Mo Chhu, where forested hills gently open to light and space, Hotel Pemako unfolds like a quiet dream. Rooted in Bhutanese philosophy and carefully designed for the land it rests upon, this intimate retreat seamlessly blends cultural elegance with contemporary comfort.

The estate features 19 spacious tented villas and two grand sanctuaries, each offering deep privacy, warm Bhutanese wood interiors, river-facing decks, and personal plunge pools. Arrival feels ceremonial—guests cross a fluttering bridge of prayer flags and are welcomed with a blessing and herbal tea by the in-house lama, setting a peaceful rhythm for the days ahead.

Dining is an experience in its own right. From rustic Bhutanese dishes lovingly prepared in a heritage cottage to globally inspired cuisine served with finesse, meals are fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully crafted.

The Lotus Realm Spa draws inspiration from ancient healing practices, offering herbal hot-stone soaks, Sowa-Rigpa therapies, and a meditation pavilion situated beside flowing waters. Nature trails nearby invite gentle exploration, and the revered Punakha Dzong lies just within reach.

With sustainability at its core, Pemako preserves the forested landscape while offering a stay that feels soulful, restorative, and truly rooted in place.
