Into Inle LakeIn a region long closed off to the wider world, Sanctum Inle Resort is opening the doors to a luxury accommodation experience that will celebrate one of Myanmar’s most compelling destinations – Inle Lake – which is renowned for its stilted wooden homes, floating gardens and fishermen who propel their boats across the water with spidery finesse. Opening in October, the 94-room resort will boast an Olympic-sized swimming pool overlooking the lake, minimalist but modern suites, the Sanctuary Spa, an international restaurant and Cloister Bar, an elegant hangout boasting a selection of Myanmar-brewed beers, international wines and Cuban and Dominican cigars. Two hours by air, car and boat from Yangon, Sanctum Inle Resort will inspire contemplation through its off-the-beaten-path location and architectural flourishes. sanctum-inle-resort.com
