Echoes of Tranquility
Long ago, Lao princes would climb Phou Vao hill close to Mount Phousi to fly kites. As the colourful tails danced in the breeze, the young men practised the art of spatial meditation. Today the spot is known as 'the hill of kites' and is home to La Résidence Phou Vao. Overlooking the jungle- clad mountains, La Résidence Phou Vao echoes the calming, restorative ambience.
