Serene hideaway

Ideally located on the bank of the Nam Song River, just 90 minutes from Vientiane, Riverside Boutique Resort invites guests to experience the rugged beauty of the Lao countryside. Its serene atmosphere makes it the perfect base for discovering the unique charms of the region at an unhurried pace.

Inspired by the ethnic diversity of Laos, the resort offers a clean, contemporary take on traditional Lao designs. Beautifully curated furniture pieces, artefacts and accessories, sourced from and often created by hand by Lao craftspeople, are featured throughout.

The resort concept stems from the Lao simple and yet elegant approach to life and art, and the social value placed on living in balance with nature and the surrounding community. Thirty-four artfully designed guestrooms and suites are laid out around one of the most inviting swimming pools to be found in Laos. This award-winning hotel offers stunning views of the surrounding limestone mountains as well as a wide range of experiences for every season true to the peaceful yet adventurous spirit of Vang Vieng.

Lovely Oasis in Vieng Vang

"This hotel is the most calm oasis in the town of Vieng Vang. Beautiful gardens with a lovely pool to spend time out of the heat that are so well kept. The rooms are spotlessly clean and have a lovely traditional decor. Would certainly recommend this place to stay for a relaxing few days."
