Ock Pop Tok Mekong Villa Opening in August!
Our Mekong Villa is the perfect place to submerge yourself in textile art and culture. Based in the gardens of our Living Crafts Centre, the villa features 4 textile themed rooms with Mekong views. Immerse yourself in the unique designs and traditions of one of Laos' ethnic groups; Hmong, Katu, Tai or Northern Hill Tribes. Spend your days in the gardens watching the weavers work, or taking classes and learning to weave yourself. You'll feel like you're staying with a Lao friend on the Mekong with exceptionally good taste. An intimate feel, fabulous personal service, wonderful attention to detail and vibrant, youthful design, all for a great price. A Mekong view? You've got it! A lush, tropical garden? Yes! Peace and quiet? Absolutely. Even better yet, every night you stay, a percentage of your room fee goes back to helping one of our Village Weaver Projects. Opening rates start at $30 per/night.
We are working hard to finish now, and look forward to welcoming our first guests by August. We look forward to posting more detailed information in the upcoming weeks.
