Enjoy some R&R (and find your land legs again!) in this tiny north Laotian village.
Pakbeng is a small and sleepy village in northern Laos, set alongside the mighty Mekong River. Whilst the village might only be a stopover on your Laotian adventure, Le Grand Pakbeng will ensure you spend your time here in comfort. The resort is peppered with 45 villas and suites and provides plenty of spots to just kick back and relax, giving you a chance to regain your land legs after a few days cruising. The vertiginous, hillside setting provides spectacular views too, to be enjoyed either from your private balcony or from the infinity pool. Bliss.

Bucolic, charming and hidden far off the tourist trail, this is a true sanctuary.
Pakbeng is pretty as a picture, one that includes soaring mountain peaks, gently flowing rivers, and a peace that is truly palpable - and completing it is Sanctuary Lodge. Nestled high on a hill overlooking the Mekong, it does just what is says on the tin, fulfilling the promise of quiet days watching elephant splash at the river's edge and tranquil dips in the pool. Laos feels untouched and undisturbed by modern life but a few days at the Sanctuary confirms it from the moment you disembark at the dock. Sipping on a BeerLao (a local staple), you'll think, 'this is the life'.
