Our Story
Mekong River is an atmospheric, serene and artistic boutique bed & breakfast located amidst tropical gardens with stunning Mekong River views. Part of Ock Pop Tok, a Luang Prabang-based social enterprise that works directly with artisans, Mekong VIlla gives guests an opportunity to experience living nearby an artisan community and the tranquility of riverside living while still enjoying privacy.
A stay at the Mekong River is a full cultural immersion into the arts and cultural activity of an artisan community. We provide an opportunity for travellers to step away from the bustling tourist center in town, and to learn, share and relax in an exceptionally beautiful, peaceful and creative setting. Whether you are relaxing in the tranquility of your comfortable room, taking in a spectacular sunset on the villa’s verandah, or exchanging greetings and conversing with our staff, you will be at home!
The Villa is old Lao-French style home that has been remodeled into five beautiful rooms. The Hmong, Katu, Tai and Hill Tribe rooms are decorated in textiles handmade by artisans we work with through our Village Weaver Projects. The rooms feature air conditioning and en suite bathrooms and are outfitted with comfortable beds, linens and robes. There is complimentary Wi-Fi in the rooms and throughout the property. Personally decorated by the owners, the Mekong Villa feels as though you are staying in the home of a friend with fabulous taste and a great textile collection.
