Opened in 2010, the Aureum Inle Resort & Spa is perched on the edge of Inle Lake with villas surrounding its banks. Each of the 66 units comes with separate sleeping and living areas, satellite television, private balconies and outdoor terraces. Dine at either one of the hotel’s restaurants (both indoor and outdoor options are available). Other on-site facilities include a spa and beauty parlor, a swimming pool and a boutique shop. Water sport activities are also available through the hotel.

Positioned on the east bank of the peaceful waters of Lake Inle, Novotel Inle Lake Myat Min hotel is an ideal retreat from the non-stop action of the modern world; yet it’s a short drive to the lively attractions of Nyaung Shwe town center for guests looking for the perfect combination of splendid isolation spliced with more metropolitan delights. Tranquillity is at the heart of the hotel’s philosophy, and this is reflected in the cubic buildings, wood-panel walls and vast windows of the hotel’s architecture - designed to bring calm to restless minds. All of the rooms are decorated with dark wood flooring, complimented by royal blue and charcoal gray furnishings. Whether guests opt for an airy suite overlooking the resort's lush gardens, or a spacious villa right on the water, both are enhanced by a choice of either an elegant balcony or a scenic patio. Along with the picturesque surroundings, guests can find further relaxation by slipping into the infinity pools for a cooling dip or reinvigorate tired limbs with a trip to the on-site spa.

Inspired by the serenity of Lake Inle’s waters, Sanctum lnle Resort is designed to promote contemplation through its off-the-beaten-path position, and the architectural flourishes that invoke monastic traditions, such as Spanish-style arches and the minimalistic room designs. The arched windows and graceful cloisters might be modest in their approach, but there is nothing simple about Sanctum Inle Resort. Lofty and bright, the hotel’s rooms come outfitted with the comforts of home, with natural wood floors, plush beds and cable television - all set off by the solid teak wood furniture, handcrafted by local Myanmar artisans. Here, guests are encouraged to rise early for meditation in the gardens and contemplative walks by the lake.

Constructed between 20 acres of rice fields and floating gardens, guests of the Sofitel Inle Lake can experience world class luxury in this hotel that merges Myanmar style with the latest technologies. Guests can catch stunning views of the surrounding natural scenery from the terraces of their spacious rooms or from any of the hotel's two restaurants and two bars. The restaurants serve a range of local and international dishes and there are ample opportunities for guests to relax, whether that be at either of the opulent bars, temperature-controlled pools, or by enjoying a professionally administered massage.

Located in the heart of Inle Lake, the second largest freshwater lake in Myanmar, Inle Heritage Stilt Houses offers six bungalows that are beautifully integrated into their surroundings, affording fantastic views of the lake's breathtaking sunsets. Furnished with locally woven fabrics and Shan paper designs, the rooms merge relaxation with aesthetic wonder. Traditional charm is matched with modern comfort, as the rooms are equipped with solar-powered hot water, Wi-Fi, and other modern amenities. Surrounded by organic vegetable gardens, each of the structures satisfies the highest of environmental standards with such materials as teak and bamboo. Wooden walkways connect the rooms to the resort’s famous restaurant and lounge where guests can experience flavors of traditional Inthar and Shan cuisine infused with modern twists served three times a day, or relax over an afternoon tea. Through a combination of ecotourism and social business models, the Inle Heritage organization that oversees the stilt houses seeks to both promote and preserve the unique culture of its region.
