You contemplate a visit to Cambodia but you want to stay off the beaten track ?Welcome to Terres Rouges Lodge.If you want your visit to be unforgettable, Terres Rouges Lodge is the place you are looking for.After long excursions, you will be able to dive in our pool, wander in our landscaped garden or rest in rooms that are superbly decorated.You will also find it pleasant to have a drink in our bar (‘the best bar in the middle of nowhere’ according to Time Magazine) and to dine in our fine restaurant.
I’ve always loved Red Dust, the slightly trashy 1932 MGM classic about the assorted characters whose lives entangle at an isolated Indochinese rubber plantation, their strong personalities clashing as rivalries and romances bubble to the surface. It’s a potent story made unforgettable by its dynamite cast, headed by Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Mary Astor. And so, I was instantly sold on Terres Rouges Lodge in Banlung from pretty much the minute I learned of its existence. I know the estate was never exactly a plantation. But the former governor’s residence now converted into this enchanting boutique hotel promised a similarly atmospheric setting. And, with the town itself encircled by rubber trees, it seemed as close as I might ever get. Terres Rouges even translates as Red Earth—a name which immediately conjured up black and white flickers of the movie in my brain—and the hotel’s website forewarns, “During the dry season a thick cloud of red dust floats constantly above Banlung.” I arrived around 5am on the night bus from Phnom Penh, but thanks to the exceptional proprietress who knew I’d be coming, I had no trouble checking in at that ridiculous hour. And, as I explored the extensive property in the dawn light, I could tell that I had stumbled upon a very special place. From those first moments on, my experience at Terres Rouges was nothing short of magical. Every element was pitch perfect, even though the improbability of discovering such luxury in this sleepy corner of the world seems about as unlikely as it is delightful. The owners of Terres Rouges have created a veritable paradise, working hard to maintain the impression that French Indochina is alive and kicking. It’s an illusion you’ll want to believe as you stroll about the lush grounds, your secluded, leafy refuge far removed from the gritty roads of Banlung just beyond. The garden of colors presented by the budding trees is simply remarkable, from stately palms to flowering frangipanis. I must have spent a solid half hour happily wandering from one intriguing blossom to the next, admiring the hues and trying to capture their ephemeral beauty with my camera. Those frangipani petals have a beguiling habit of dropping into the cool waters of the nearby swimming pool, one of the most tranquil locales imaginable to while away a lazy afternoon. This is also the domain of the friendly Terres Rouges dogs, who seem thrilled to have you as a companion. Coupled with the helpful staff on hand to supply you with ice cold Angkor beer as necessary—served in a frosted glass, a marvellous touch—you may lose all motivation to venture any further than the hotel’s front gate. My room in the main house was utterly fantastic, all done up in painted woods with a huge, comfortable bed, elegant window treatments, charming antiques and intriguing vintage prints adorning the walls. And the bathroom was a far cry from the rain barrel Jean Harlow used back in 1932. In fact, I’d label it downright extravagant, in a rustic sort of way. The airy restaurant is a pleasant spot to enjoy a hearty breakfast each day. Its enviable position overlooking Kan Seng Lake made for a lovely start to the morning, complemented by fresh fruit, strong coffee and a wide selection of both Asian and Western dishes. But it’s at lunch and dinner when things are elevated to the sublime. The local fish cooked in Khmer spices wound up being perhaps the best thing I ate throughout my entire twelve-day adventure around Cambodia. And should I have the good fortune to return to Rattanakiri in the future, I wouldn’t be surprised if I wind up savoring most of my meals here. Make no mistake: Banlung is off the beaten path. It takes determination—and time—to get here. But once you’ve arrived, you can bask in colonial grandeur and dine like a prince at Terres Rouges. While doing so, you’ll be surrounded by splendors both natural and man-made. Gable and Harlow never had it so good. And, for all you know, they may be lounging in the very next bungalow.

Tree tops is a gem of a place which is perfect for escaping it all. The huts are clean and very comfortable and the veranda is complete with table & chairs & a very comfortable hammock! The food is good as are the fruit shakes - all of which are not overpriced. Staff are very welcoming

We received a very warm welcome from the owner Sen and his lovely family. The lodge is located in a small village a bit outside the town of Banlung (5-10 minutes easy drive) and it is a charming and authentic place. The wooden bungalows we stayed in were simple, rustic but beautiful. The balcony is very pleasant. We stayed in a room with private bathroom and everything was clean. The breakfast was good, and it was so nice to meet and chat a bit with the neighborhood grannies! The owner can also drive you with his tuk tuk (a comfortable Cambodian style trailer) if you wish. He drives safely, he is very nice and flexible and since he speaks good English, communication is really easy! Highly recommend this place if you look for an authentic experience, worth every penny!

I am blind in one eye and while staying at the Yeakloam hotel the staff were extraordinary with their patience and 100% care. They were all genuinely helpful and kept an eye on me as I tend to make mistakes. All this with humble gentleness. From the desk clerks to the wait staff. I could not ask for better service. The look on their faces when I rode up on a fully loaded touring bicycle was priceless. Very highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed.
