Riverside Venue

Private Events & Corporate Retreats

Weddings, corporate retreats, birthday celebrations, family reunions, anniversaries, and management meetings. A riverside eco-luxury setting, 15 minutes from Luang Prabang's UNESCO Old Town.

The events team builds each programme around the brief, from a single dinner under the stars to a multi-day corporate retreat with wellness and cultural programming. The full property can also be reserved for exclusive use. Private events are arranged directly with the hotel, not through online travel agents.
