Nam Kat Yorla Paa

Enjoying a prime location on the banks of the Nam Kat River, the Nam Kat Yorla Pa eco-resort is surrounded by imposing mountains, and verdant rainforest. This region of northern Laos appeals to a wide range of people including those wanting to immerse themselves in a gentle pace of life, those wishing to learn more about the culture of the local hill-tribes and adventure enthusiasts, wishing to explore on foot, by bike or from the dizzying heights of a zip-wire.

The resort is in a protected forestry area and is driven by sustainability. Drawing on the architectural and cultural influences of the historic Oudomxay region, Nam Kat Yorla Pa features traditionally built wooden villas and pavilions spread along the river to take advantage of the glorious views. The atmosphere is personal and intimate with friendly staff and attentive service.

There is a range of accommodation available, including double rooms in the rustic Farm House, rooms sleeping up to four in the Safari Tent, Standard Rooms, and more spacious Superior Rooms, sleeping up to three adults and the more comfortable Executive and Deluxe Rooms, sleeping between four and five guests.

We would recommend staying in a spacious Pool Villa, sleeping up to four adults, which includes a separate bedroom, private garden, pool, and gazebo. The traditional exterior is complemented by modern comforts and contemporary interior design, with wooden floors and furniture, plush beds, rich local textiles, and artefacts. The furnished balcony overlooks the river and there is Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, hairdryer, fridge, minibar, and safety deposit box.

The on-site restaurant serves tasty local food and guests can order food and drinks direct to their rooms. There is a popular spa, shared outdoor pool and an abundance of outdoor activities including trekking to local waterfalls, climbing, cycling, and zip-lining.
