The Viewpoint Lodge sits on the edge of the canal leading to Inle Lake and is just a short walk into the centre of Nyaung Shwe. The town location provides easy access to local restaurants and shops, yet the over-water accommodation still provides a tranquil, lakeside atmosphere. The accommodation consists of 20 thoughtfully-designed Cottage Suites, built using traditional Shan construction methods and from an ecofriendly mix of materials such as limestone, mud, and rice straw, all reinforced with wooden beams. Inside, the suites do not compromise on modern comforts and each has a modern en-suite bathroom, plus a seperate sleeping and living area. The renowned Viewpoint Restaurant seves traditional Shan cuisine with a modern twist - likely to be the most contemporary Burmese cuisine you will come across during your trip.
