La Résidence Phou Vao
There is something wonderfully peaceful about arriving at La Résidence Phou Vao. Perched on a hillside overlooking Luang Prabang, this intimate retreat feels worlds away from the bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by tropical gardens and panoramic mountain views, it offers a sense of serenity that perfectly captures the spirit of Laos.
The hotel combines traditional Lao design with understated elegance. Spacious suites, an inviting infinity pool, and a tranquil spa create the perfect setting to unwind, while the UNESCO-listed town of Luang Prabang is just a short drive away.
A stay here can be as relaxing or as enriching as you choose, whether that’s exploring ancient temples, witnessing the morning alms-giving ceremony or simply enjoying sunset views from the pool overlooking the mountains.
