The Inle Sanctuary at Phayartaung

For anyone seeking peace and natural beauty, Inle Sanctuary, Phayartaung offers one of the most breathtaking locations in Myanmar. Their six luxury stilt houses, built on a pier jutting out into the middle of Inle’s three lakes have unrivalled views of the water and surrounding hills. They are a sustainable ecolodge located by Sakar (or Samka) Lake, an unexplored lake south of Inle Lake. They are 100% solar powered, source all the food locally, and support development in Phayartaung village, its neighbours. Inle Sanctuary is three and half hours by boat from Nyaung Shwe (two hours by car ) and can also be reached from Loikaw (one hour by car, then one hour by boat). Its location off the beaten track means you will be guaranteed a peaceful stay in unspoiled natural surroundings.
