Fodor's Expert Review La Folie Lodge

Don Daeng, Pathoumphone, Champasak, Champasak, Laos Fodor's Choice

For a luxury Robinson Crusoe experience, nothing surpasses La Folie. The spacious bungalows have stunning views of the Mekong, as well as Wat Phou across the way, and they front the largest sandy beach in the 4,000 Islands area. With tourism on Don Daeng still in its infancy, the island and its locals offer unparalleled unspoiled charm. The unique arrival boat trip and bicycles to get around the island are included in the price. Rooms go for a substantial discount in the off-season.

PROS

  • stunning views
  • unique escapist experience
  • off-season discounts up to 40%

CONS

  • no other dining options nearby
  • very expensive
