Chateau Orientale Resort

A beautiful resort located on the river. Gorgeous furnishings and fittings throughout the resort. I loved sitting out on my balcony listening to the birds and watching village life around and on the river. The staff were lovely despite only 1 of them speaking English. The food was delicious. The elephant experience was pretty special as well. A very peaceful and restful place. Loved it.

Nothing

The beautiful oriental design of the rooms and restaurant. Situated overlooking the Nam Khan river, it had a timeless quality harking back to an age when life was simple and unhurried.

We loved our stay, nothing we didn’t like

I loved the attention to detail, from the lily pad pond with a curving stone path to the carved wooden doors and brass fixtures, it exceeded expectations.

It is about $15 to get to town which can add up but it’s quiet rural setting is worth it.

This was my third visit to Chateau Orientale Resort — and it continues to be a truly special place in Luang Prabang. During my stay, I had a two-day tour with Lan, an excellent guide, including a Cave Stay Over in the Sacred Valley, Hiking, E-biking through the beautiful countryside, swimming at stunning waterfalls, and kayaking back along the river — all absolutely unforgettable. Another highlight was the bonding time with two elephants, feeding and bathing them in the river — a truly unique and meaningful experience. Back at the resort, the rooms are comfortable and relaxing, and the setting on the Nam Khan River is peaceful. The restaurant food was superb, and dining there with one of my favourite river views made every meal special. Chateau Orientale Resort perfectly combines adventure, comfort, and natural beauty — I would happily return again!
