About River Resort Champasak

A stylish eco-resort offering relaxation on the banks of the Mekong.

Set on a 30,000 square-metre plot on the banks of the Mekong in the southern province of Champasak, River Resort is a lesson in eco-friendly sustainability with a stylish touch. First up, the private patch of land ensures the preservation of hundreds of native flora and fauna. At the hotel, produce is homegrown in the rice paddy and vegetable gardens, recycling and composting are vital and over 90% of staff are employed from local villages. If you're looking to explore the natural beauty and spectacular, untouched wilds of Champasak and feel good about where you're staying, River Resort is your spot.

Property details

The property

The Riverside Sala is the place to go for a menu of western and local dishes, accompanied by the sounds of the river burbling by your side. It can get pretty humid in this part of the world, but the River Resort offers not one, but two infinity pools to lounge by and keep the heat at bay - those views don't hurt either. Other than that, there's a small spa offering delightful massages, and the resort's private rice paddies and parklands are perfect for a wander.

The rooms

The River Resort has 22 river-view rooms and 6 gardens rooms, giving you the choice of waking up to sunrise over the water, or birdsong and the beautiful foliage. We'd take either! In a nod to sustainably, much of the furniture is locally-made using bamboo and the throws and blankets are all woven in a neighbouring village. All rooms enjoy ensuite bathrooms (and a choice of indoor and outdoor showers), air-con and ceiling fans, WiFi, minibars, and room service.

Activities

Both Champasak and the River Resort have plenty to keep you busy. At the hotel, stroll through the pristinely preserved parklands, take to the river in a boat or kayak and participate in traditional ceremonies, or just take it easy with a massage and an afternoon lounge by one of the two infinity pools. Further afield, there are UNESCO World Heritage sites to be be discovered (the Wat Phou temple is the highlight of the region), and plenty of cycling and walking routes that can take anything from an hour to most of the day.

Why we love it

Watching the sun rise over the ancient Mekong river - even writing that makes us feel all romantic.

Insiders Tip

The best way to see this luscious landscape in all its glory? Take to the river, either on a boat tour or by kayak.

Something to think about

The decor at the River Resort is simple, but the traditional Laotian furnishings add life and it's got everything you'll need.
