Unforgettable Stays in Laos: From Colonial Villas to Eco-Lodges
Laos has quite the variety of places to stay, often locally owned, and they all have their own character and charm. Best of all, in Luang Prabang and Vientiane, you will find recently restored and converted, beautiful French colonial villas with lovely, small boutique hotel businesses. The stays often compliment traditional style buildings with up to date amenities. Often there are refreshing swimming pools, relaxing spas, and tranquil courtyards to decompress in after a day spent visiting the sights of Laos.
If you are more inclined to get off the beaten path, there are rustic, eco-lodges that are comfortable, set in the mountains of northern Laos. Eco-lodges are a great option for travelers who want to see remote villages, hike through forests, and experience a slower and more authentic side of Laos.
In the south, there are also a few small and relaxed resorts which provide a nice base to explore one of the country’s prettiest and untouristed regions. It doesn’t matter whether you are cruising the 4,000 Islands, or visiting waterfalls and temples, these accommodations will provide a friendly face, simple constituents, and close access to the best of the area.
Whichever place you visit, travel in Laos often provides a chance to support local communities and enjoy genuine hospitality in some truly memorable settings.
