Stay
The Inle Princess Resort has 46 comfortable chalets with garden or lake views. The lead in Mountain Houses have French windows with mountain views, while the Garden Houses are set back amongst pools of lily-ponds and tropical gardens. Lake Houses are exclusive pyinkado and palm thatched houses and Princess Houses are located beside the hotel gardens, with large plant-filled private verandas. We found that that the rooms fronting the lake had the best views.
ChildCare
Children are welcome to stay at the Inle Princess Resort, but there are no specific facilities available. Babysitting service can be arranged, if requested.
Dine
The restaurant at the Inle Princess Resort is run by a French chef and every morning, he churns out perfect croissants for breakfast. The outdoor deck overlooking the lake where both breakfast and lunch are served is such a delight to dine. Alternatively, eat in the dining hall for a unique dining experience. The terrace bar is the ideal spot for relaxing with an evening sunset drink, while the cave-like wine cellar provides an intimate setting to enjoy some imported wines.
Relax
The Inle Princess Resort Spa is amazing; it's like being in the middle of a forest listening to the sound of rain and crickets, an out of the world experience. It offers three treatment rooms and a variety of massages, as well as yoga and meditation classes.
Experience
We take boat out on the Inle Lake and row silently over tranquil water through the morning mist. A flock of birds fly past and in the distance, we spot a Black-collared Starling, Pheasant-tailed Jacana and a Black-winged Stilt. The pristine lake is home to aquatic species found nowhere else in the world and sanctuary to the migratory birds that can be seen in abundance between November to May. With over 254 species recorded in the Inle wetland, this is a birdwatcher’s dream.
