With private, family-friendly spaces, and sublime views over the still lake, the Phong Nha Lake House Resort is an excellent value base from which to explore Phong Nha National Park. It might be fairly basic, but the setting is second to none.
The Lake House makes up for any lack of polish with charm, cosiness, and, of course, those views. Take the retreat experience up an extra notch, with relaxing massages, yoga and meditation sessions, and cocktails by the pool.
Leisure: outdoor pool, massage, yoga, lake views, boat trips
Rooms: 34 bungalows & villas
