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.
A secluded island stay, right next to the iconic Wat Phou temple.
Situated on the lazy Don Daeng island in the middle of the Mekong River, and under the watchful eye of a spiritual mountain, La Folie Lodge is an excellent jumping off point to explore Champasak. A mere boat-ride from the famous Wat Phou temple and accompanying archeological site packed with intricate carvings, it's perfect for culture vultures looking to explore. Whilst the location is spectacular, the hotel is also a delight with traditional stilted bungalows, outstanding service, pretty views and delicious cuisine. You'll come for the sights, but stay for the lodge's charms.
