About the Hotel
Sanctum Inle Resort caters to a different sort of travel – the kind of travel that emphasizes reflection, a search for meaning, and authentic interactions with a culture that until recently remained hidden from tourism. The quiet corridors of this brand new resort were built in the image of a monastery, with graceful arches and cloisters that offer a lakeside retreat for intrepid travelers. Rooms have a minimalistic design aesthetic, yet are sumptuously comfortable. There’s no asceticism here – you’ll want to end the day with a Cuban cigar and a Myanmar-made glass of wine in The Cloister Bar.

Reviews for Sanctum Inle Resort
Magical place!
We stayed in a Junior suite and absolutely loved the sunset on our terrace. Great welcome by the lady manager who was always present throughout our stay. Every morning, we tried different specialties for Breakfast and dinner (Shan food is a highlight of Myanmar). All staff was extremely friendly, polite and warm, so helpful in recommendation for tours around the lake (bring sunscreen) and arranged an amazing sunset cruise (huge thanks to Myo the boat driver for his kindness and care). Absolutely recommended

Paradise
What we liked: - the arrival by boat and private check in - home made lemongrass juice - Design of the hotel with beautiful decorations. - The breakfast lady Mya who was really attentioned - room with private terrace What we did not liked; Nothing really bad to say, just maybe the gym near buffet area look a bit weird. Our rooms had all different colours and i find mine (yellow) less nice than my friends (red and blue)

It perfectly captures the hotel's essence as a peaceful, high-quality escape.
Sanctum Inle is the perfect retreat. The resort design, inspired by monasteries, is stunning and creates an incredibly peaceful atmosphere. The service is truly world-class—every staff member was warm, attentive, and helpful, from check-in to arranging our boat tour right from the private jetty. Our room was spacious and luxurious with beautiful lake views. Highly recommend for a relaxing, high-end stay on Inle Lake.

Perfect stay during the wonderful Phaung Daw Oo Festival!
Our stay at Sanctum Inle Resort during the Phaung Daw Oo Festival was phenomenal. This resort is a tranquil sanctuary with stunning, monastic architecture, providing the perfect base for the vibrant festival. The impeccable service was the highlight, with staff going above and beyond to arrange custom boat trips. A peaceful, culturally rich, and absolutely amazing experience on Inle Lake—we can't wait to return! Thank you everyone 🙏🏼

Sanctum, a gem in Inle
We did a group tour in Myanmar and Inle was the highlight of our trip, such a paradisiac place with in addition the Sanctum where service was the best we ever had, from reception to restaurant, cleanliness and the lady manager. One day we had buffet for breakfast but second day was with a choice menu. Rooms are beautiful. The 3 of us had different colors. Just perfect
