Welcome to our 4 Star Luang Prabang boutique hotel. An oasis. A destination unto itself. Once the home of Lao royalty, Villa Maly is today an exquisite luxury boutique hotel, ensconced by a profusion of tropical flora. Its rooms evoke the subdued elegance and creative flourishes of yesterday’s aristocrats. Its wonderful situation, in an enclave of classic old homes, will embed itself in your dreams of.
Our boutique hotel’s “Art Deco” style is prevalent throughout with an original blend of French and british colonial furnishings. The ambiance is residential, as if one was staying in a private villa. Hence the slogan “A Residence of Charm” says all about our unique elegance. The central building of the boutique hotel was formally the private residence of former Luang Prabang nobility, its original splendor derived from the 1920s, evokes a sense of the French past.
Room
The 33 guest rooms of the Villa Maly boutique hotel occupy five different buildings, including Plumeria, which was once the home of a royal Lao family. Each was designed as individual grace notes, to be inhabited by guests for a day, or three, or a week at a time, and then to inhabit that same guest’s memory for years to come. Common to each and every room are the trappings of Luang Prabang’s inimitable architectural appeal. Parquet floors, furnishings of tropical hardwood and in some, open timber-framed ceilings. European aesthetics are also at large at Maly. Marelli fans. Four-poster beds. And classic arrangements. Each room at our Luang Prabang boutique hotel Villa Maly is individually styled to be a testament to the colonial history of the property. With an art décor style that blends French and British tastes.
Villa Maly Superior Rooms
Each of the superior rooms at Villa Maly can lay claim to its own distinct appeal, featuring custom arrangements and distinguished artwork. The rooms do share similarities in hardwood floors, vibrant colors, slate-walled bathrooms, flat screen televisions and views of the gardens or pool. Some superior rooms boast a king sized bed; others offer a pair of beds. All promise a very individualized experience.
Villa Maly Deluxe Rooms
With king beds, wonderfully subdued colors and ample natural light, the deluxe rooms rank as the Villa’s most exquisite accommodation. All of the deluxe rooms occupy space in the home at the heart of Villa Maly, now known as Plumeria but once the residence of Princess Khampieng and Prince Khamtan and their children. The furnishings in each of the rooms was specially designed for Villa Maly and crafted by artisans in Saigon. The desks, the bedsteads, wardrobes and tables each add to the singular ambiance of Villa Maly.

Dining
At Villa Maly boutique hotel, our menu dabbles in the culinary traditions of the East and West, with a scattering of French standards and a little bit of Lao adventure. While you may be lured for a dinner or two beyond the confines of Villa Maly, we do urge you to experience the set menu at Le Vetiver one evening. This is real Lao cuisine by an exceptional Lao chef.

Dining on the mighty Mekong is to being in Luang Prabang what walking over the Brooklyn Bridge is to being in New York. Essential. To ensure you don't 'miss the boat', we've launched the Nava Mekong, the foremost regular dinner cruise opportunity in the royal capital.

Villa MaLy’s own culinary options are a good base for exploration. The hotel’s kitchen serves a mix of Western and Eastern dishes, from Italian favorites, local fish to green curry, fried glass noodles prepared Lao style and Chinese fried rice. We do soups, salads and sandwiches as well. Though our menu is not extensive, what we do we do well. Likewise, our wine list. It’s short but vibrant, with excellent vintages from Europe to Australia.
View on mapMouhot Bar
On the ground floor of Plumeria at Villa Maly, there is Mouhot's. A bar, yes. But it's more than that. It's an out-of-the way watering hole for those who want a quiet drink, and those inclined to lift a glass in the memory of the bar's namesake, Henri Mouhot. After the French naturalist Mouhot rediscovered Angkor, he traveled through Luang Prabang and fell prey to malaria. You don't have to worry about malaria at the Villa Maly. But rest assured, there is plenty of quinine (tonic water) behind our bar!

On a balmy Luang Prabang evening, what could be better than a poolside barbecue and hotpot in the midst of Villa Maly. At our Sindad, our servers will whet your appetite as they parade tantalizing cuts of well-marinated tenderloin, ribs, pork, shrimp and fresh seafood to your table. We’ll fire up the grill and leave you to cook selections to your liking. Meanwhile, we’ll leave a steaming hotpot to simmer its delights. Our wine list complements both the grill and the hotpot.

View on mapVilla Maly Spa
As we are a boutique hotel, so too we offer a boutique spa experience. In our two-table, poolside venue, our two therapists practice time-honored spa techniques. With Marelli fans, vibrant, tropical colors and hardwood floors, our spa trades on the same charming aesthetic at large in our rooms. We’re ideally suited for one guest at a time but couples can be accommodated, and the four-hand massage is an option. We do recommend pre-booking.
View on mapThe Grounds
A wonderfully mature tropical garden blooms all about the grounds of Villa Maly. Stepping stones meander purposefully among the plantings, showing off a profusion of tropical life — frangipanis, mango, ginger, orchids, lilies, gardenias, mango trees and others. It’s the sort of botanical garden that should have identifying placards, an aim we plan to satisfy. It is a place to linger, whether with a cup of coffee after breakfast, or on a stroll after dinner. In the midst of Villa Maly is our singular pool, and an ample pool deck, perfect for sunbathing or a late afternoon apertif.
