It’s all about Lak Lake here and the myriad of ways to enjoy it: kayaking, mountain biking, village walks, fishing, gardening and more. Above all, a cold drink at sunrise or sunset from your private balcony will be a special moment in time. Y Lak Restaurant is a rustic and charming wooden longhouse with plenty of coveted spots for lakeside al fresco dining. They serve local M’nong, Vietnamese and Western dishes using plenty of ingredients sourced directly from the on-site gardens.
Ideal for nature lovers, adventurous couples and curious travellers keen to explore Vietnam’s central highlands. Lak Tented Camp offers a relaxed escape with meaningful cultural encounters, outdoor activities and a peaceful lakeside setting that’s far from the usual tourist trail.

The two-storey luxurious wooden bungalows are furnished with locally crafted furniture pieces and artwork. They make the most of the spectacular scenery and sleep up to four people.
