RESCUED LAO ELEPHANTS STAR IN NEW LUANG PRABANG GETAWAY
Industry: Hotels       

A former residence of Lao royalty, Villa Maly Boutique Hotel is bundling the best of this UNESCO-recognized destination into its last summer special for 2014 which also includes a sunset and dinner cruise on the Mekong River with Lao dancing and music, and a traditional massage at the hotel.

(TRAVPR.COM) LAOS - June 26th, 2014 - LUANG PRABANG, Laos - A summer sojourn in the one-time residence of Lao royalty and a close encounter with the country’s gentle elephants are the cornerstones of the latest holiday deal out of Luang Prabang.
 
Villa Maly Boutique Hotel, a 33-room enclave anchored on the former home of Prince Khamtan Ounkham and Princess Khampieng, is opening its doors to travellers and animal lovers with ‘Elephant Encounter’, a two-night stay package featuring a visit to a sustainable elephant sanctuary just outside Luang Prabang.
 
Available from July 1 to October 31, 2014, the offer features:
 
- a half-day visit to Elephant Village
- two nights in a Superior Room
- breakfasts in the hotel’s garden restaurant, Le Vetiver
- one-hour massage per person at Maly Spa
- sunset and dinner cruise for two aboard the Nava Mekong, and
- round-trip airport transfers
 
Situated 15km from the UNESCO-recognised heritage town, Elephant Village is dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of rescued elephants.
 
A half-day tour begins with a pick-up from Villa Maly and a briefing from one of the sanctuary’s managers, before visitors are introduced to their elephant friend for the day. A 3km ride on the howdah elephant seat, or on the elephant’s neck is the highlight of the tour, which concludes with a traditional longboat ride to Tad Sae Waterfall for a buffet lunch, and transfer back to the hotel.
 
Home to nine rescued elephants and staffed by professional veterinarians, Elephant Village aims to give Laos’ elephants a safe home away from the abusive logging industry, while developing a sustainable tourism product that employs local villagers who would otherwise participate in the destructive slash-and-burn trade.
 
Villa Maly’s ‘Elephant Encounter’ package is priced at USD 280 for single occupancy and USD 490 for double occupancy.
