On the outskirts of Bhutan’s capital city, you’ll find The Postcard Dewa. Nestled in a forest, this Bhutanese mountain hideout is just close enough to take in the city of Thimphu, but far enough from the bustle. With no more than 15 luxurious rooms, the hotel is the perfect place to wind down in the lap of nature and enjoy pristine views of the Khasadrapchu valley and Wang Chhu River.
All of the hotel’s 13 rooms and two luxury suites are set against the backdrop of dramatic mountain vistas. Ranging from 995 sq ft to 2,100 sq ft, the rooms are generously spaced. Rich in natural light and traditional details, they even come with their own private sit outs from which to take in the surrounds. The Dewa Suite, our most impressive yet, even offers a private garden, terrace and an intimate dining gazebo - perfect for precious time with the family.
Mountains and monasteries make up much of the travel itinerary here. Take the lush hiking trails to ancient Buddhist temples or tour the capital city’s many sacred sites and colourful market stalls. But if you’re after some private time with nature, then our chefs are happy to curate the perfect picnic basket for you to enjoy by the Wang Chhu River.
The Postcard Dewa’s idyllic mountain surrounds make it the perfect place to slow down with meditation and yoga. Therapies at the spa include treatments that borrow from traditional Bhutanese practices like a hot stone bath, that’s perfect for sore muscles. Fitness conscious guests can also enjoy a swim in the temperature-controlled swimming pool.
The spread at The Postcard Dewa is deeply influenced by Bhutan’s culinary heritage. Gems on the menu include traditional dishes like Ema Datshi, Maru, and Paksha Paa. An emphasis on local produce ensures that ingredients like Red rice, Buckwheat, Bhutanese chillies, and river-fresh Mountain Trout make a regular appearance on the menu.

We went to the Postcard Dewa with some friends for 2 nights in May - celebrating a milestone birthday. The entire visit was magical !! the place is beautiful - it is 20 mins before Thimpu, just off the main highway from Paro; it is on an elevation, and you get a 360 view of the natural beauty around you; the rooms are large and beautifully done with a local flavour; the food is fresh ( a lot of the ingredients are from their own garden ) and yum ! Most importantly - the team is FANTASTIC ! whether it is TJ, who is the property manager, or Harsh, the head chef, or the entire team - it is really A1. There was so much energy and happiness in the team that it vibed through our group as well !! This was our 2nd stay at a Postcard property (the other one was at Goa - you can read the review posted by me) and i love it ! Highly highly recommended - Bhutan and Postcard Dewa. We will be returning shortly !
We had one of the best holidays ever in Bhutan and the most beautiful part of which was our stay at The Postcard. No words to explain the hospitality provided to us by TJ and team Postcard. Food was awesome and we were introduced to the best local delicacies. We had the most pampered and relaxed vacation in the midst of the nature, surrounded by beautiful mountains at Postcard. Our treks were made safe and special by our furry friends Tiger, Blackie, Sichhu and Brownie. Each of the 7 days that we spent at postcard were different and special. We would like to thank each of the staff at The Postcard Thimphu for making our trip so special and memorable. Special mention to TJ, K(our companion and friend throughout the holiday), Subeer, Karun, Karma, Harsh and all the staff for extending such a warm welcome to us!
We stayed at The Postcard Dewa for 5 days and enjoyed every moment of our stay. The entire experience was curated and managed by the amazing team to ensure our comfort. A big shout out to Kuenzang ( a.k.a K) who drove us around, took great care of our preferences and shared amazing nuggets of information around Bhutan’s history and society. The food and drinks were delicious and customised to our liking( thanks to the head chef Harsh, the F&B manager- Shubi and Karun). Experienced one of the best Spa treatments thanks to Tashi. Overall, it was a relaxing, one of a kind and memorable stay in a lovely country. Thanks to the entire team at The Postcard Dewa led by TJ
A great experience. Absolutely top quality food, fantastic service and a beautiful and well equiped room. The driveway to get there from the main road is challenging but I am certain will be fixed soon. If we ever came back to this beautiful country we would certainly stay here.
The beautiful Postcard Dewa, Thimphu, exudes luxury in its purest form. From bespoke services to the carefully crafted dishes by chef Harsh, were experiences that my husband and I were not expecting (I must admit). We realised pretty soon that we were heading for two days of care and pampering. We were very warmly ushered into the hotel with an offering of their esteemed Khada and soothing welcome drinks. We were then taken to our room, overlooking the serene valley.
