Laos seems to be one of those countries that are on many a travellers’ list, but year after year gets pushed aside, often for somewhere more well-known. Somehow, it's remained something of a secret - but for those in the know, Laos is a brilliant option for a luxury holiday. With the mighty Mekong River running from top to bottom, Laos is one of the most gorgeous destinations in Asia, while its fascinating ancient culture and laidback way of life make for a truly immersive holiday.

WHY CHOOSE A LUXURY <span class="indend">HOLIDAY TO LAOS</span>

WHY CHOOSE A LUXURY HOLIDAY TO LAOS

WHY CHOOSE A LUXURY <span class="indend">HOLIDAY TO LAOS</span>

Luxury holidays to Laos range from relaxing journeys with sunset cruises and Buddhist temples to fast-paced adventures in remote Northern Laos: your holiday can be as intrepid of revitalising as you like. This is the perfect place to escape everyday life. 

Whatever you are looking for, your holiday will be so much more than a selection of luxury hotels (although we will ensure those match your expectations too). Your holiday will be the perfect balance of discovery and downtime, with well-crafted travel experiences that will remain with you forever. Laos’ proximity to Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia, make it a great choice for those looking for a wider luxury travel experience around Southeast Asia, too. 

Where to Visit on a Holiday to Laos?

Most holidays to Laos will feature visits to the town of Luang Prabang and the French colonial buildings of the capital Vientiane, but there is so much more to explore. From the mystical Plain of Jars to the remote northern hill tribes and the beautiful 4000 islands - Laos' answer to a beach! - the country is brimming with interesting places to go. Our specialists can help you decide where to go for an authentic Laos experience.

We love to show travellers the real Laos, with experiences that take you into remote and rural towns.

Laos is home to some of the most dramatic and staggering scenery in Southeast Asia.

Stunning architecture meets a seductively laidback atmosphere in Luang Prabang.

Destinations in Laos

Situated on the banks of the Mekong, the ancient capital of Luang Prabang is the cultural hub of the country. You can happily while away several days here exploring the markets, temples and waterfalls, as well as watching saffron-robed monks collect alms. The modern capital of Vientiane has a strong French influence in its wide boulevards, colonial architecture and the baguette stands that line the street. However, it’s when you get into the countryside that you truly experience the magical atmosphere of Laos.  Whether exploring the mountains of the north or the national parks of the south, the cheeky smile and quick wit of the locals will never be far away.

Playing game of petanque with the locals is an absolute must - paired with a Lao beer, it's a perfect way to spend an evening.

A misty morning jeep safari in the Bolaven Plateau will reveal a side to Laos few tourists see.

Walking with elephants is an incredible and ethical way to get up close with these majestic creatures.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences

Laos is home to national parks, rivers, lakes and along with its enchanting culture is a destination to embrace your inner explorer and discover something truly extraordinary. In a country as beguiling as this, everyone can find that magical luxury travel experience and make memories that last a lifetime (with a little help from us, of course).

WHEN TO GO TO LAOS

WHEN TO GO <span class="indend">TO LAOS</span>

Laidback Laos generally has an appropriately laidback climate, with no coastline to bring troublesome storms. The dry season lasts from November to April but the absolute best time to travel is November when the rivers are full from the recent rains. For more in-depth info please visit our dedicated page on the weather in Laos.

HOTELS IN LAOS; SPECIALLY CHOSEN FOR YOU

From stylish boutique hotels, to luxury lodges and overnight cruises, you can choose from a great selection of luxury accommodation in Laos. Luang Prabang has some of the best hotels in Indochina, all with their own unique character and charm. Particular favourites include Satri House, the former residence of a Laotian prince in the heart of the old town, and Rosewood, a beautiful property in the surrounding countryside. We think a river trip is essential on any trip to Laos, and there are a brilliant array of small boat overnight cruises. Alternatively, there are glorious hotels on the banks of the rivers, such as Muang La Lodge and La Folie.

A stay on a sandy bank of the River Mekong provides a relaxing end to a holiday or it is a short hop to Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam for anyone looking for a more traditional luxury beach hotel.
