Lak Tented Camp

Lak Tented Camp sits peacefully on the shores of Lak Lake, surrounded by lush green mountains and rice fields, around 50 km south of Buon Ma Thuot. The adventure begins with your arrival by boat. Even as you glide across the lake, you’ll immediately notice what sets this place apart: the tranquillity, the natural beauty, and a true sense of being far from it all.

With just 19 rooms spread over 4.8 hectares, this is not a destination for five-star luxury, but rather for thousand-star moments beneath the open sky. Every aspect has been crafted with sustainability in mind, and with a minimum impact on the landscape, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature without disruption. Electricity is supplied by solar power, the lake itself offers a welcome coolness on warm days, and at night, the chorus of cicadas and crowing cockerels create the atmosphere or gently wake you at dawn. Lak Tented Camp is full of delightful little surprises.

The tented camp nestles in verdant surroundings. Here, you’ll stay in one of the camp’s Lakeview Tents – spacious tents raised on stilts and thoughtfully designed in a simple, elegant style. Each tent offers 32 m², including a private veranda, and features either a double bed or two singles that can be joined together as needed. Amenities include air conditioning and a fan, bottled spring water, tea and coffee, as well as handy extras such as a torch, slippers, umbrella, and hairdryer. Every tent boasts its own en-suite bathroom with shower and toilet. The veranda is furnished with a handmade table and chairs, perfect for tranquil mornings overlooking the lake or lingering evenings in the dusk. The view itself, across the lake and rolling landscape, is an experience in its own right. You’ll feel a genuine sense of being at the very heart of nature.

Y LAK Restaurant is more than just a place to eat – it’s an integral part of life at Lak Tented Camp. Set within a traditional wooden M’nong longhouse that has been lovingly restored, you can choose to dine in the spacious main hall or outside on one of two terraces with lake views. Here, you’ll enjoy fresh and healthy meals made with local ingredients, much of it straight from the camp’s own gardens brimming with coffee, cacao, fruit, and vegetables. The menu is straightforward and inspired by local culinary traditions, with a focus on authentic flavours. You won’t find a long list of international dishes, but what is offered is selected with care and prepared with real attention.

Lak Tented Camp has been created in close partnership with the local community, and it is largely run by members of the M’nong minority from nearby villages. Warm, welcoming, and curious, their friendly hospitality is often among the memories that guests treasure the most. The service may not always be polished, but the enthusiasm for learning and development shines through. You’ll be met with genuine interest, and if you offer to share a bit of English, they’re more than happy to return the favour by teaching you some M’nong words in exchange.

A stay at Lak Tented Camp is a chance to switch off from the bustle of daily life, and to reconnect with nature and with your travel companions.
