Phou Iu II Bungalows

Top choice in Northern Laos


Set around an expansive garden, the biggest bungalows have fun, outdoor, rock-clad shower spaces. All rooms have comfortable beds, mosquito nets, fans and small verandas, although the rooms are cold at night during the cool season. There's an on-site herbal sauna (10,000K) and massage (50,000K per hour), plus a small restaurant serving local Lao dishes.
