The Riverside Boutique Resort Vang Vieng offers very high standards in Vang Vieng in a 34-room boutique hotel offering personalised service celebrating the exceptional cultural and natural diversity of Laos.

Located on the banks of the Nam Song River, next to a small wooden bridge, the Riverside Boutique Resort is set in a tropical garden with a central swimming pool.

Its thirty-four rooms and suites, as well as the restaurant and the bar, offer stunning views over Vang Viengs’ limestone mountains.

Rooms are designed in different regional Laotian styles, with Lao artefacts and fabrics reflecting different ethnic groups. Balconies with garden or mountain views are the key features.

 

What’s so Special?

The hotel has a beautiful design by award-winning local architect Sakpaseuth Phanrajsavong. Prominent artists and artisans have contributed their talent in order to showcase various aspects of the country’s beauty and traditions.

The rooms, in particular, feature original decors inspired by eight ethnic groups: the Akha, Hmong, Katu, Lanten, Lao Lum, Tai Daeng, Tai Lue and Yao.

The Riverside Boutique Resort is the result of an international partnership with the Greenpark Boutique Hotel in Vientiane and a stay at the Green Park in conjunction with the Riverside Boutique Hotel Van Vieng is a great option.

Classic Rooms

There are 4 Classic rooms (32 sq. m.), each with a garden view.

These rooms are luxuriously designed and equipped with wooden furniture and exclusive fabrics and artefacts from the Tai Lue ethnic group. They are the most private rooms in the Resort with individual balconies facing a small garden.

The ‘Restaurant du Crabe d’Or’, named after one of Vang Vieng’s most famous caves, offers indoor seating, to enjoy the air-conditioned comfort of an elegantly set-up room on the first floor, as well as outdoor seating, to take full advantage of the river view and tropical garden with a magnificent backdrop of limestone mountains.

Discover authentic Lao dishes, prepared with fresh local ingredients, or enjoy a more traditional Asian and French cuisine. Fine wines from France and Chile, as well as coffee from the Boloven Plateau complement all meals.

A hearty breakfast is served, with tea, coffee, fresh fruit juices, fruit salad, French-style bread, croissant and toast, butter, jams, eggs and omelettes.

Nam’Song Bar

The “Nam Song Bar’ is a great venue to unwind with a cocktail, to enjoy some lounge music or to play board games in a sophisticated and charming atmosphere.

The bar features a series of artworks that illustrate some of the most beautiful birds and orchids found in Laos. It also includes a stylish display of traditional baskets and tools collected from local communities in six different provinces.

Weather permitting; it is at the terrace outside the bar that salads and light meals are provided at lunchtime.

Facilities & Activities

In partnership with Green Discovery and the Organic Farm, the Riverside Boutique Resort offers a number of activities including cycling, trekking and rafting trips.

Exploring Vang Vieng on a bike (full day) – this moderate cycling tour, covering around 25 km in one full day is designed for active people who would like to explore the beautiful surroundings of Vang Vieng. 

Boating and hiking around Vang Vieng (half day) – this tour will take you on a boat up the Nam Song River to the Organic Farm and a Hmong village. It provides ample time to relax at a waterfall.

Kayaking on the Nam Song (half day) - this tour will take you kayaking on the Nam Song River, surrounded by rugged karsts and beautiful rural scenery, and exploring amazing limestone caves. 

Kayaking on the Nam Lik (full day) - for those who are looking for an exciting day, this trip offers a good adventure on one of the most scenic rivers in northern Laos.

Cooking class at Organic Farm (half day) - This activity is for anyone who wants to discover Lao cooking and learn how Lao people use natural materials and traditional methods for growing their crops and raising their animals.

Vang Vieng Discovery

Vang Vieng is a small picturesque town on the banks of the Nam Song River - now emerging as a more mature destination, offering something more than a hedonistic adventure stop for Gap Year kids.

Vang Vieng makes a convenient stop on the winding overland route from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, itself one of the most beautiful stretches of road in Laos.

This trip will appeal to those looking for activity, with trekking and kayaking included. Discover Vang Vieng's spectacular limestone scenery and the culture of this region of Central Laos.

In Brief

Transfer from Vientiane or Luang Prabang and visit Vang Xang en-route. On the second day go trekking and discover some of the many caves around Vang Vieng.

Day three is spent largely on the water, kayaking the gentle rapids of the Nam Song River and exploring riverside caves.

On Day four enjoy a visit to Nam Ngum Lake before heading on to Luang Prabang or Vientiane.
