Villa Maly is a 30-room boutique hotel centered around the former 1938 residence of Princess Khampieng and Prince Khamtan, a descendant of 19th-century King Zakarine. This former royal home combines heritage and comfort, surrounded by tropical gardens with the relaxed feel of a family compound. The property includes the original Plumeria house and seven additional buildings in an "Art Décor" style, with French and British colonial furniture from the 1930s and 1940s. Each room is designed with a mix of colonial touches and modern amenities like free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee-making facilities, and private bathrooms with showers. Guests can unwind by the outdoor pool, enjoy spa treatments, and dine at Le Vetiver, the open-air restaurant serving international dishes and a selection of wines. Only 15 minutes from the airport, Villa Maly offers comfort and easy city access.

The trip might have been the absolute best of our lifetime (thus far). We particularly want to commend our guide Peter in the Guilin area-he was so incredibly attentive, energetic, enthusiastic-and absolutely dedicated to ensuring that our meals were 100% vegetarian.
