Bhutan is an archetypal once-in-a-lifetime destination, but we can’t wait to go back. Its Himalayan valleys and monastery aeries are breathtaking, and crowds have yet to spoil even the most popular places. We found a constellation of new luxury hideaways there to recommend. Of the seven new luxury hideaways we anonymously reviewed, we recommended six (one of them didn’t make the cut, but &Beyond Punakha River Lodge earned an unusually high rating of 97 points).

This video takes you inside Bhutan’s best new hotels and shows you a few of the extraordinary sites you have to look forward to if you go. Read more about our Bhutan trip here.
