Where the golden light of dawn dances through the jungle
Escape the daily grind at Rosewood Luang Prabang, a hidden gem in a lush green valley just ten minutes from the UNESCO-protected city centre. Here, where the monks' bells ring in the morning and the last rays of sunlight dance on the river in the evening, a retreat of quiet beauty awaits you. Designed by renowned interior designer Bill Bensley, the resort is a harmonious blend of French-Indochinese colonial architecture and Laotian craftsmanship. Whether you meet monks giving alms early in the morning or explore the fascinating waterfalls and temples, you will find authentic experiences here. In the evening, "The Great House" will spoil you with Laotian-inspired menus.

"The Rosewood Luang Prabang is not a hotel for those in a hurry. It is a place for slow arrivals, for quiet discoveries, for candlelit conversations and walks without a destination. Those who are prepared to get involved will take away more than beautiful pictures - namely a feeling of depth and contemplation that lasts a long time."
Surrounded by the jungle, crossed by a small waterfall and only minutes away from the World Heritage Site - the Rosewood Luang Prabang is a place full of contrasts in perfect harmony. It combines boutique charm with responsible luxury, retreat with authentic culture. This makes it unique in Laos - and a place that you don't just visit, but experience.
At Rosewood Luang Prabang, every accommodation becomes a personal oasis. The 23 individually designed suites, villas and tree houses blend harmoniously into the tropical landscape - partly by the rushing river, partly elevated above the valley with a view of the lush greenery.
The Riverside Villas offer elegant interiors with hand-picked antiques, open-plan bathrooms and private terraces right on the water. Those seeking absolute seclusion will find it in the Hilltop rooms with sweeping jungle views. The speciality: the six "Tented Villas" - luxurious tented suites with fine textiles, four-poster beds, copper bathtubs and soft lighting.
All rooms pay homage to Luang Prabang's colonial heritage - with Laotian wood carvings, silk fabrics, lots of natural materials and architectural finesse. No two rooms are the same - but they all share a sense of tranquillity, style and belonging to the place. When you sleep here, you don't just sleep - you immerse yourself.
German nationals require a visa to enter Laos.
This visa can be applied for in various ways:
- In advance at the Laotian Embassy in Berlin.
- Online as an e-visa (eVisa): This is a convenient option that has recently become available and is usually processed within a few working days. The cost of an e-visa is currently around 50 US dollars.
- As a visa on arrival (Visa on Arrival): Available at international airports (e.g. Wattay International Airport in Vientiane, Luang Prabang International Airport, Pakse International Airport) and some international land borders. The costs for this are approx. 30 US dollars for German citizens.
Your passport must be valid for at least six months at the time of entry and have at least two free pages for the visa entry.
A tourist visa (both e-visa and visa on arrival) generally authorises a stay of 30 days, with the possibility of an extension to 60 days.
No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany to Laos, unless you are travelling from a yellow fever area or have had a longer transit there. In this case, you must provide proof of a yellow fever vaccination.
The Federal Foreign Office strongly recommends checking the standard vaccinations according to the current vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute for children and adults (www.rki.de) and updating them if necessary.
Vaccinations against hepatitis A in particular are recommended as travel vaccinations. For longer stays, particular exposure or travelling to rural areas, you should also consider vaccinations against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and Japanese encephalitis.
Individual travel medical advice from a doctor or travel medicine specialist is strongly recommended to discuss the specific health risks of your trip to Laos and to optimise your vaccination protection.
Laos has a tropical monsoon climate, which is also characterised by dry and rainy seasons:
The dry season from November to May is the most popular time to visit. During this period, it tends to be cool and pleasant from November to February/March, while the months of March to May can get very hot before the rainy season sets in.
The rainy season lasts from May/June to October, with more intense, but often only hourly showers that bathe the landscape in lush green.
