In the heart of Laos’s mountainous north, lies the small village of Muang La. Wooden and bamboo houses sit quietly here in the valley between the Nam Pak river and the wild, tropical rainforests. Hidden away in this village is a beautiful boutique hotel that is sure to be a highlight of your journey to Laos.
The Muang La Resort is a place to get lost in secluded corners of aromatic and colorful gardens or listen to the sounds of the jungle and the flow of the river from your private veranda. The resort’s villas, spa and facilities are inspired by local architecture and design and built using local materials.
