Accommodations

The hotel offers spacious rooms with a balcony overlooking the Mekong River and the mountains of three countries. Each room includes a flat-screen cable/satellite TV, a DVD player, and an en suite bathroom with a bathtub. Free minibar is included in every stay.

Elephant Camp & Activities

The resort operates an on-site elephant camp where guests can walk with the elephants, feed them, and learn about their care from professional mahouts and vets. A unique overnight Jungle Bubble experience places guests inside a transparent dome next to the elephants' roaming area. Other activities include longtail boat trips on the Mekong River, guided treks, cooking classes, and bicycle tours of the surrounding countryside.

Dining

The hotel has two restaurants: Sala Mae Nam serves an international breakfast buffet, and Baan Dahlia offers Italian dishes. All food is prepared with locally sourced ingredients, including produce from the on-site herb garden. Private dining arrangements are also available upon request.

Wellness & Recreation

The spa offers treatments inspired by indigenous traditions, including massages, facials, and body scrubs. An infinity pool with views of the valley and surrounding wilderness is open year-round, with a pool bar and sun loungers. The resort also has a fitness center, yoga classes, a tennis court, and a steam room.
