Float down to Mekong Lodge for dreamy break

Update: 13/04/2011
The Mekong Lodge is an eco-tourist heaven for guests who want to sample the real delta. Positioned 200 meters from Cai Be Floating Market by the waterway in Tien Giang Province, the lodge is a resort with a difference.

It is the perfect hidden location to get away from it all, leave all your troubles and work stress behind you in the green landscape and waterways, lush vegetation and trees.

To reach this little utopia you have to travel by boat as it is situated in an island next to the Tien River. But this is no inconvenience; in fact the boat trip is an integral part of your stay as you can experience that sleepy feeling when you drift down the river and only waking from your dream state to witness the floating market and boat people in action.

Mekong Lodge includes 30 private bungalows and a River View Restaurant, covering an area of more than 12,000 square meters. Each room has an au naturale feel with bamboo chairs et all.

In the afternoon, tourists can feel free to explore the island and see what life is like for the locals as they fish, cook, pick fruit or chat with guests.

The sunset over the river is like something out of a movie and cannot be missed.

And of course visitors have to try the fresh, local dishes.

Mekong Lodge is located at An Hoa Hamlet, Dong Hoa Hiep Commune, Cai Be District, Tien Giang Province.
