Residence Bassac sits in the small, lively town of Champasak, formerly known as Bassac, with nine unique villages and surrounded by 40 more, plus the famous Wat Phou—a pre-Angkorian temple and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area mixes centuries of history with beautiful natural landscapes that you’re sure to enjoy. Be sure to check out Soum Noum, the hotel’s restaurant, and the Sala on the Mekong River, where you can try a great mix of Lao and Mediterranean dishes made with fresh, local ingredients by talented chefs.
