The Pavilions Himalayas Lake View, Pokhara

A truly relaxed and private escape, this lakeside retreat invites you to escape the crowds and reconnect with nature without forgoing the modern-day comforts.

Framed by cascading rice fields and the majesty of the Annapurnas, the Pavilions Himalayas Lake View is made up of only eight exclusive villas. Open-plan and inviting, these romantic tented suites are crafted from natural and local materials, and come with fully retractable wraparound glass doors for an uninterrupted panorama of the landscape. Some have standalone bathtubs with majestic mountain views.

You can go kayaking on the lake, take guided walks with a local naturalist or enjoy the four-hour trek to sister hotel The Pavilions Himalayas. Between exploring, refresh with a dip in the hotel’s all natural mountain spring pool, or opt for a rejuvenating traditional massage. Getting here is an adventure in itself. Guests ride a paddle boat across the sparkling waters of Phewa Lake before following a short, curved mountain trail to reach the secluded resort.
