The on-site restaurant incorporates these organic ingredients to serve you tasty Laotian dishes. Their environmentally friendly and sustainable efforts don't stop here. They employ 90% of their staff is from the neighboring villages.
One of the resort's highlights is the reflective, Mekong-facing infinity pool. Sunsets from this spot will burn into your memory like the final golden rays of the sun setting behind the magical landscape of rural Laos. In addition, the River Resort is a great place to start your discovery of the 4,000 nearby islands and try kayaking and trekking in the wilderness of Southern Laos.
