ATMOSPHERIC
Stilted wooden houses stand with their feet in the water. Tiny villages line the lake. Thousands of picturesque stupas sag under the weight of countless decades. This is Inle Lake.
One of the most atmospheric and unchanged places in the whole of Myanmar – itself a region of timeless landscapes and dream-like cities – Inle Lake presents you with the fabric of life as it was lived in the distant past. As the country’s second largest lake it is not merely stunningly beautiful, it also offers you the chance to revel in a diversity of experiences; visits to grand pagodas – a complete contrast to the 1000 ruined stupas of Inthein – and 13th century villages. Trips to see local industries ranging from cigar rolling shops to artisan boatyards. And, of course, the chance to stay at Sanctum. Poised on the edge of the lake, this Inle resort gives your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Myanmar an extra level of indulgence, glamour and relaxation.
