A New Landmark Emerges in Luang Prabang: Dragonfly
Luang Prabang has always revealed itself slowly—through morning alms, quiet rivers, and evenings softened by lantern light. On 18 December 2025, a new address quietly joined this rhythm, adding a contemporary yet deeply rooted chapter to the city’s evolving story: Dragonfly.
Set within the elegant grounds of Satri House, Dragonfly is the latest addition to a property long admired for its sense of history, calm, and understated refinement. Satri House is a proud member of Secret Retreats, a curated collection of independently owned hotels, cruises, and experiences dedicated to authenticity, heritage, and responsible travel.
At once a bar and an Asian dining destination, Dragonfly is not about spectacle. It is about craft, intention, and atmosphere—a place where evenings unfold naturally, and where every detail feels considered.
Cocktails with a Sense of Place
Dragonfly’s bar team approaches mixology with precision and respect for Asian traditions. Each drink is composed as an experience rather than a formula—classic cocktails subtly reimagined, alongside signature creations inspired by the spirit of Laos itself.
Herbs, textures, balance, and restraint define the menu. Whether you arrive after a day of wandering temple paths or choose Dragonfly as the first stop of your evening, the bar invites you to slow down and let the stories in the glass reveal themselves. Every pour is intentional, every moment unhurried.
A Table Rooted in Laos
The kitchen draws its inspiration from the fields, forests, and rivers of Laos, following the natural rhythm of the seasons. Ingredients are local, thoughtfully sourced, and treated with curiosity, respect, and imagination.
At the heart of every meal is rice—the foundation of Lao culture and the guiding element that brings balance to each dish. The menu is designed for sharing, encouraging conversation and connection:
- Small Plates that are light, expressive, and flavour-forward
- Large Plates that ground the meal
- Sides that quietly complete the experience
Nothing overwhelms; everything belongs.
An Evening Address to Remember
Dragonfly feels less like a new opening and more like a place that has been waiting to happen. It is refined without formality, contemporary without losing its soul—an address where locals and travellers alike can gather, unwind, and linger.
If Luang Prabang is a city best understood through moments rather than landmarks, Dragonfly is one of those moments—now poured, plated, and quietly ready to be discovered.
