Legends & LUXURY

It doesn't get any closer than this. A gushing river literally right in front of the Bill Bensley-designed villa, embraced by mountains, waterfalls and the intimacy of nature where every leaf is a flower, Rosewood Luang Prabang is love at first sight.

Once home to French explorer and diplomat Auguste Pavie (1847-1925), who hosted illustrious guests such as early female Olympians Jeanne Filleaul-Brohy and Marie Ohier, naturalist Henri Mouhot (known for his exploration and posthumously published writings and detailed sketches of Angkor Wat), and the six French adventurers in the first Mekong Expedition (1866-1868), this sprawling and secluded mountain estate retains an explorer's spirit. And with only 23 suites and villas, Rosewood in Luang Prabang is mindful towards sustainability too.

This is my second time in Luang Prabang. To quote Fyodor Dostoevsky, “I like revisiting, at certain times, spots where I was once happy.” But unlike previously where I stayed in the heritage town area, this time I leave the streets behind for the primeval nature. Tapping into Mouhot and past explorers’ pneuma at the very present.

SWEET SANCTUARY

Pink and yellow hibiscus hang by the riverbank; away from the city, streams resume its wild arteries. Colonies of iridescent dragonflies hover above the river before making a sharp unexpected turn, rarely staying still for the camera. It's a clear indication that the water ecosystem is healthy.
