Fantastic 4 nights in Inle lake! We stayed in a junior suite which worked great and is interconnecting so perfect for a family! The hotel is amazing and there are no boat noise from the lake albeit being on the lake. Tranquility put to another level when lying next to the pool and seeing the sun set! The rain showers in the rooms are amazing and so is the turndown service, everything so well looked after and could not recommend this highly enough. The Suites are very spacious and worth the extra penny

We enjoyed our family holiday at Sanctum very much. Such a tranquil place for us to unwind. The gardens and view are beautiful. The tomato salad and breakfast coconut noodles are a must. So delicious. We highly recommend this resort for families and couples.

This is THE place to go for a relaxing holiday with views and royal treatment without pretentiousness or stuffy atmosphere.

Magnificent people and place. Low season so we had a lot of the place to ourselves. The views are divine. Right next at active farming. We named the water buffalo that we saw every day out in the field Bob and Robert. If you can get it, get a water view in the main building.

Infinity pool, pillow menu, sophisticated room detailing. They also are very concerned about environment so glass instead of plastic bottles.

Nothing is perfect and we did have two issues 1) limited menu at restaurant but easily fixed by walking 5 minutes next door to Novotel for dinner. Also on the last day Sanctum was happy to made me plain veggie fried rice even though not one menu. I loved it. I wish I’d thought of that earlier. 2) we couldn’t get our room cool enough. Our room had high ceilings and I think the A/C was powerful enough. Either that or it needed repair. We had someone come up to help but nothing changed and it wasn’t super hot in the room just not American A/C cold. Could have just been that room on a bad day.

Do opt for spa treatment. The herbal sports massage was fantastic. I hadn’t had a similar treatment with hot towels but I’ll be looking for it in the future. My husband enjoyed the Myanmar massage which is done in PJs through a towel.
