Pemako, which translates to ‘hidden lotus-shaped land’, currently comprises of two thoughtfully curated hotels – opulent tented villas immersed in nature in Punakha, and an urban sanctuary located in Thimphu. The addition of a new hotel in Paro will extend Pemako’s presence in Bhutan further, with hotels in all of Bhutan’s key locations.
In partnership with Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the Danish architects famously behind the new concept of the Gelephu Mindfulness City, the first area of its kind, set to open in Bhutan aiming to be world’s first mindfulness city; the new Pemako property in Paro will be designed in keeping with Pemako’s essence – which is for guests to experience authentic and genuine Bhutanese experiences.
Commenting on the future of Pemako, Mr Wangchuk Dorji says, “Whilst Pemako remains a local brand, we have the aspirational goal to go global, bringing the beauty of Bhutanese hospitality to other special destinations in the future. In the next 5-8 years we hope to be internationally present and look forward to sharing more news in years to come.”
