Our favourite rooms
If you want better bird’s-eye views than the black-necked cranes, opt for the spacious Two-Bedroom Villa, which has more than enough space to fit you and your whole flock.
Spa
Six Senses is famous for its wellness offerings and rightly so: step inside the spa at Six Senses Gangtey and you’ll be rewarded with pampering Swedana treatments and cinematic panoramas of the peaceful Phobjikha Valley.
Packing tips
Bring keen eyes (or binoculars) for wildlife-spotting, plus something you can comfortably hike up and down the Black Mountains in.
Children
All ages are welcome, but the hotel is best suited to ages six and above. Parents, take note: there are lots of steps and stairs, so it’s not ideal for buggies.
Activities
This isn't as child-friendly as some of Six Senses' other Bhutan lodges, but your guest-experience manager will try their darnedest put together an itinerary to keep them entertained. This might include gentle hikes, cookery lessons or traditional dress-up.
Meals
With simple rice bowls, crudites, sandwiches, momo dumplings, banana pancakes and ice-cream sandwiches, the kids' menu is a good mix of comforting favourites and new things to try.
Sustainability efforts
Endearingly, the hotel supports a local centre with funding to protect Gangtey’s endangered black-necked cranes. Plastic-free Six Senses Bhutan Gangtey Lodge also uses home-grown organic produce in its restaurant, favours eco-friendly bath and cleaning products, and conscientiously recycles.
