Scenic treks into the surrounding jungle will introduce you to ethnic minority tribes like the Hmong and Khmu, whilst mountain biking, scenic river cruises and 4×4 excursions can also be arranged.

And when you want to relax, the lodge has its own sauna and thermal spring-fed pools to sink into. The restaurant here serves up delicious Lao-French fusion cuisine using produce grown in the garden, as well as salt extracted from the river. Employing the majority of its staff from the local area, the lodge prides itself on the harmonious relationship it maintains with both the local community and natural surroundings. Tucked into tropical gardens, the lodge is made up of just 10 comfortable rooms, each fitted with locally crafted furniture, hot showers and balconies from which to drink in the charming views.
