The resort features 34 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully styled with hand-woven textiles and cultural motifs representing Laos’s rich ethnic diversity.

Dining at Riverside is a journey through Laos’s culinary landscape. The resort’s restaurant, open to garden and river views, serves a seasonal menu of traditional Lao cuisine and international favorites, using fresh, local ingredients. Whether it’s breakfast by the water or a romantic sunset dinner, every meal is a celebration of place.

Guests can unwind with a traditional Lao massage at the spa or lounge by the saltwater swimming pool shaded by frangipani trees. The rhythm of nature and the calm of the river provide a soothing backdrop for every activity - from meditation on your balcony to soft adventure in the nearby countryside.

Committed to cultural preservation and sustainability, the resort integrates local materials, supports regional artisans, and partners with community-based tourism projects.
