The River Resort

Perched on about 400 meters of Mekong River frontage in southern Laos, The River Resort sits in Champasak — a short drive from Champassak Terminal West and the UNESCO-listed Wat Phou. It’s roughly 5 km from the town center and about 34 km from Pakse (PKZ) airport.

About two dozen air-conditioned rooms, many with private balconies or patios and panoramic Mekong views. Contemporary Southeast Asian architecture and bamboo furnishings give a local, eco-conscious vibe. Rooms feature minibars, refrigerators, flat-screen TVs and, in many units, both indoor and outdoor showers.

Two infinity outdoor pools (plus reports of an indoor pool), an onsite spa and massage rooms, rooftop lounge and riverfront dining sala. Two private riverboats offer casual daytime trips and sunset cocktail cruises when river conditions allow. Non-motorized water sports, bicycles to rent, gardens and a soft-sand beach at low tide. Family-friendly services include babysitting (surcharge). Wake up to Mekong-breeze mornings and unwind at the cocktail/juice bar.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, free self-parking, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, dry cleaning/laundry and concierge/tour desk. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Open-air Dining Sala overlooks the Mekong and serves Western and Laotian/Thai dishes with alfresco riverfront options. There’s a rooftop lounge and cocktail/juice bar, room service during limited hours, and a complimentary self-serve breakfast each morning. The resort emphasizes farm-to-table gardens and organic ingredients.
