We support all local businesses. Our kitchen and cleaning teams and partners are all from Nyaungshwe.
Everything is done with the environment in mind. We source our products locally, and choose to conserve resources.
This isn’t just good for our bottom line, it’s good for the planet too.

Every month, we donate 1% of all bookings to support the local hospital, orphanage, and other worthy causes in Nyaungshwe. We also offering select guests with essential skills a chance to stay long-term and support organizations directly.

Our culinary team works to source over 75% of our ingredients locally, and we always try to make everything from scratch in-house instead of importing it from outside our country. We also try to offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free variations of everything on our menu!

We designed a bespoke Inle Lake boat tour exclusively for Song of Travel guests. We partner with carefully chosen Intha people, all of whom lead an authentic, all-day experience on Inle Lake, including a home-cooked lunch by the wives of the boat drivers in the floating villages dotting the lake.
With 90% of proceeds benefiting the local Inthar boat drivers and their families, the boat tours are a locally celebrated social impact program.

Some of our guests check-in for a night and then stay with us for weeks, even months, because of the various immersive experiences we offer, including Weekly Burmese language lessons, Sunrise yoga, Sunrise/Sunset boat trip, One-day trekking, Every day Saturday Family dinner, Play local games, and more!
