Sanctum Inle Resort

Inle Lake

Set in Nyaung Shwe, on the eastern bank of Inle Lake, Sanctum Inle Resort resembles a decadent Renaissance monastery complete with cloistered courtyards and porticos. A 90-minute drive from Heho Airport, it features views of Inle Lake, scented gardens and an exquisite spa.

Its 94 rooms and suites are all generously proportioned with seating areas, oversized windows, and exposed wooden beams. Renowned designer, Brigitte Dumond de Chassart, has preserved a monastic-style minimalist feel whilst still ensuring every modern comfort.

Dine at The Refectory for celebrated garden-to-table fare in the Shan tradition, as well as international favorites, in a lakeside setting. Sample Myanmar-brewed beers at Cloister Bar.

Sanctum Inle is ideally located to explore the Lake’s stilted villages, timeless one-legged rowing fishermen, markets, and local infrastructure. Busy days are happily concluded in the resort’s tranquil spa or by its spectacular lake-facing infinity pool.
