In such peaceful surroundings, and with a little help from the hotel\u2019s Mekong Spa, you\u2019ll forget about the stresses of home and relax into your new found heaven.<\/p>\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\n<p>Positioned in the north of landlocked Laos, La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao lies at the confluence of the Mekong and Narn Karn rivers, up on Phou Vao hill. Just a ten-minute drive from Luang Prabang International Airport, you\u2019ll feel entirely secluded surrounded by the palms and coconut trees which make up the jungle. A short distance from Luang Prabang, a UNESCO world heritage site, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the local historic and cultural landmarks from the former royal palace to the town\u2019s oldest Buddhist monastery, Vat Xieng Toung. Whilst you\u2019re there, we recommend taking a sunset cruise down the Mekong river on a traditional boat. You\u2019ll float past the Si Moung Khourn temple and the Tharn temple cave, all culminating at the top of Chornpet hill overlooking Luang Prabang for breathtaking views.<\/p>\n<h2>Your room<\/h2>\n<p>The rosewood furnishings and rich cotton fabrics make La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao&#8217;s rooms and suites truly luxurious. All drenched in natural light you can walk straight from your room into the exotic gardens or onto a private terrace. Flop down onto your king-sized bed or head out to the infinity pool perched on the cliff edge and unwind.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao is the perfect little hideaway with its boutique spa and French-Laotian fusion restaurant, but what really sets it apart, we think, are the phenomenal views which stretch far into the distance and in all directions. Take in the hazy silhouetted mountains, the town of Luang Prabang, Phousi temple and the tropical valleys dotted with glittering golden pagodas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An exquisite mix of traditional Laotian and European colonial style, the 34 rooms of La R\u00e9sidence Phou Vao promote complete calmness and serenity.
