View Point Lodge is an eco-boutique resort, set north of the Inle Lake, in Eastern Myanmar. Situated outside the village of Nyaung Shwe, the hotel is set on stilts over the pond, some distance away from the activity on the main lake. The resort boasts of its eco-credentials; all rooms are built with natural materials without the use of concrete and ensures minimum damage occurs to the environment during its daily operations.
Accommodation at the View Point Lodge comprises of just 24 floating houses on stilts. Located just outside Nyaung Shwe village, overlooking the Taik Nan Bridge, the hotel is situated at the crossroads of land and lake where there is a constant hive of activity with local village life. The cottages are built in traditional Shan style using local limestone, mud and rice straw, which provides superb insulation and soundproofing; essential to cut out the noise from the motorboats.
Inside, the rooms are luxuriously decorated with wooden polished floors, open beamed ceilings and spacious bathrooms with modern facilities. Rooms are divided between a spacious bedroom and a separate sitting area with a day bed with double glazed windows. The much renowned Shan Restaurant serves delicious International and tradition cuisines, which we recommend to book in advance as it is quite popular with local guests and tourists to the area.
