River Resort

Top choice in Southern Laos


The 12 duplex villas (nine riverfront and three set back along a pond and rice paddies) are outfitted with gargantuan beds, indigenous wall hangings, indoor-outdoor showers, and big balconies with five-star views. Alongside a pair of pools, Thai and Lao massage and a beautiful restaurant, the resort also offers upscale excursions by boat (the sunset trip is fantastic) and other means.

It's 3km north of town, but feels miles away from anything.
