We stayed at the Riverside Boutique Resort for 3 nights and decided to try the Sala Spa on our last night. We had a really intense and busy day exploring the area so having a relaxing massage was the best way to end our day. The Spa is located at a remote area inside the Riverside Resort, right next to the Nam Song River. The ambience of the place is very quiet and relaxing and it offers an amazing view over the mountains. Both me and my boyfriend opted for the 60 minute long traditional Laos massage and we absolutely loved it! The masseuse used her body weight to make pressures on our muscles and then stretched them out. She started from our feet and then she moved up to our legs, backs, arms and head. The whole experience was very relaxing and much needed after a busy day. If you’re thinking about getting a massage in Vang Vieng, there is no better place for it than the Sala Spa!
5. Vang Vieng Elephant Sanctuary

This was a great activity to do with our young kids aged 9 and 7. We were picked up at our hotel in Vang Vieng for a scenic 45 minute drive to get to the sanctuary. When we arrived we had an interesting, informative and entertaining introductory talk by the owner of the sanctuary. This gave a background to the culture, history and threats to elephants in Laos, as well as what he is trying to achieve at the sanctuary. A fairly easy trek (waterproof shoes provided) through a beautiful landscape took us to the elephants’ natural habitat. We were able to feed the elephants with bananas and then bathe them in a nearby river. We then trekked back to the sanctuary buildings with elephants, during which we saw them having a mud bath. Back at the sanctuary buildings we fed them some more and were in turn fed a delicious Lao lunch. It was an amazing privilege to be at such close quarters with these gentle, curious and majestic animals. There are four elephants currently at the sanctuary. Groups of visitors (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) are limited in numbers so as to maintain a good visitor-elephant ratio. I can thoroughly recommend this activity as an inspirational way to spend half a day!

We made it to the first viewing hut in around one hour going slow with breaks. Leave early to make sure you have the time to return slowly before the lights fade. Great outdoorsy experience and view. Turn by the sign for the school and follow the signs to arrive at the entrance. Bring water and take the bottle back with you.
