Riverside Boutique Resort

Layout

The resort’s concept draws on Laos’s simple, elegant approach to living and art, as well as the social value placed on harmony with nature and the surrounding community. Thirty-four thoughtfully designed rooms and suites are arranged around one of the most inviting pools in Laos. This award-winning hotel offers sweeping views of the surrounding karst mountains, along with a wide range of experiences tailored to each season, true to the peaceful yet adventurous spirit of Vang Vieng.

Rustic elegance and cuisine inspired by Laos’s rice-growing culture define the dining experience at its “Gold Crab Restaurant”. The focus is on sourcing fresh ingredients for a fusion of local and international recipes.

The riverside pool, with its panoramic mountain views, is the ideal spot to unwind after an intense work week, a tiring journey or a day of outdoor activities. 
By day, enjoy a glass of chilled white wine while soaking up the warm sun or the dramatic karst mountain scenery. In the early evening, let yourself be drawn into the celebrated sunset ritual from the pool terrace, as the sky turns rich shades of vermillion, pink and purple against the backdrop of limestone cliffs.

Rooms

The rooms are designed to offer an experience of comfort and tranquillity in harmony with the surrounding nature. The resort has several types of rooms and suites, each tastefully decorated with guests’ well-being in mind.

The rooms are decorated in a contemporary style while incorporating elements of traditional Lao design. Natural materials, such as wood and rattan, are used to create a warm and authentic ambiance. The beds are spacious and comfortable, and the windows offer superb views over the Nam Song river or the surrounding mountains.

The resort also offers more spacious suites and villas, ideal for those seeking even more privacy and comfort. Some villas have their own private pool or an outdoor lounge area, offering an even more exclusive atmosphere. These suites are perfect for couples seeking romance or families wanting more space.

The atmosphere in the rooms is peaceful and soothing, designed to encourage relaxation and well-being. The resort places particular emphasis on connection with nature, and each room is designed to minimize stress and promote restorative sleep. In addition, the resort’s calm and serene environment invites total disconnection.
