PHILOSOPHY
Creation of an exceptional experience between Laotian culture and untouched jungle. Special attention has been paid to establish and maintain a good relationship with the nearby village of Xieng Lom.
The economic development in Luang Prabang is responsible for influencing the local people and their expectations for their homes and housing. Unfortunately old traditional wooden houses are being replaced by modern brick buildings with metal roofs. The preservation of these little treasures of old Laotion architecture is a main part of the Lao Spirit philosophy. We have already purchased three large houses.

The houses were carefully disassembled and rebuilt by experienced Laotian craftsmen on the Lao Spirit property. This is a way to give these wonderful antique, wooden houses a solid future.
The center of the resort consists of three restored 100 year old Laotian-French style buildings. These are the restaurant, reception and a massage house. An extension of a spa with a pool is planned for the future. The bungalows are built in a traditional style by local craftsmen and artists. Materials of wood and stone and an interior with antique furniture give each bungalow a unique atmosphere. There are no electrical appliances like air conditioning or television which may disturb the laid back atmosphere of the resort. Bathrooms with bathtub, fully screen open air shower and a large terrace facing the river offer peace and relaxation to the guest. Our restaurant, with river views, serves both traditional Laotian and international dishes in a cozy atmosphere. During dinner elephants from the elephant camp on the opposite river bank can be seen bathing
