This was our fifth holiday with Sundowner Holidays, and once again they provided perfectly located boutique hotels, great excursions, seamless connections, and knowledgeable guides. Our sincere thanks go to the whole team for putting this wonderful itinerary together. We look forward to planning our next trip!

Rooms

Each of the 34 rooms at Riverside Boutique Resort is decorated with textiles and artwork that celebrate one of Laos’ many ethnic groups, from the Hmong to the Tai Lue, giving every space a distinct character. The interiors are calm and comfortable—timber floors, handwoven fabrics, and generous balconies that overlook either the gardens or the river, depending on your room. There’s a sense of thoughtful restraint here: well-made furniture, excellent beds, and a feeling of quiet connection to your surroundings.

Our Laos trip was fantastic! We wandered through Luang Prabang’s temples, cruised the Mekong River, and swam at Kuang Si waterfalls. The hotels were comfortable, the guides friendly and knowledgeable, and everything ran smoothly. A holiday of a lifetime!
