Vietnam.

3. LOCATION
Inle Lake:
• Freshwater lake located in the Shan Hills against mountainous background.
• Notable for its relatively cool climate (set at 800 metres above sea level).

distinctive pagodas & stupas, and the unique ‘leg rowing’ technique of its fishermen.

4. LOCATION

is set on dry land while the other half sits on stilts over
the water.
• The nearest airport is Heho, which is served by flights
from Yangon, Nyaung-u, Mandalay, Tachilek and Keng
Tung.
• From Heho, you will drive through quaint villages and
scenic hills before reaching Nyaung Shwe. From Nyaung
Shwe, you may continue by land or by boat to the hotel.
Journey time from Heho Airport to the hotel:

• By road & boat (airport to Nyaung Shwe → Nyaung Shwe
to hotel): 1 hour 45 mins
The hotel can arrange for overland and water transfers.

5. CONCEPT
• The resort inspires contemplation through its off-the-beaten-path location and architectural flourishes that invoke
monastic traditions.

conditioning to cable televisions and mini-bars in every room.
