Your hidden refuge and gateway to the unique cultural and natural treasures of Inle Lake
Where entire villages are built on stilts, markets drift on clusters of canoes and myriad tribes maintain their ancient customs and dress. The nesting place of the rare Sarus crane and the sole home of a multitude of endemic wildlife from fish to turtles, birds and reptiles.

Nestled sensitively into the surrounding nature, amongst our mature tropical gardens and lily ponds, your stay is in locally-constructed and sustainably-sourced traditional pyinkado, teak and bamboo-thatch houses.
Inside are playful accents of Inthar fabrics, bespoke furnishings, Shan paper lamps and crackling clay fires for the cooler months*. except for some mountain houses. Adjoining are your leafy veranda or elegant bath suite, many leading to open rain showers under the mountains.
Around the ponds, palms and lilies in our grounds you will find relaxing comforts from our serene spa or swimming pool, to our yoga platform and meditation zayatt, dells in the mature local garden and open sun decks.
If you feel active, you can join in with the creativity at our traditional craft village, venture out on an excursion or chose an authentic lake experience. Then reconvene for sundowners outside our low-slung bar, and dine beneath the brilliant lake stars.
"The place was soooo breath-taking in a peaceful way, we did not want to leave the room for going around. Elegant in design, perfection in details, the service is top-nudge, the rooms are spacious, comfortable, thoughtfully designed (we loved the shower outdoors) and simply beautiful... This comes in the heavenly view to the lake, which is isolated from the touristy crowd, and they made an effort to reduce the noise as well by not allowing the very noisy motors of the boats to run at a certain distance...”

“I don't need to say much more about the quality of this hotel or the beauty of its location. Go to Myanmar. Go to Inle Lake. Stay at the Inle Princess.”
- Timothy C, MASSACHUSSETTS
“My most recent stay at Inle Princess Resort was, like all my previous ones, wonderful. I find everything at the resort just excellent, the chalets, restaurant, spa, bar, gift shop and again, above all, the people.”

Inle Princess commitment to the local community and sustainable practices comes from our own upbringing around the lake, and continued investigation into sustainable innovation.
