Sanctum Inle Resort Maing Thauk Inle Lake

The Venue

Set on the eastern edge of Inle Lake, Sanctum Inle Resort is surrounded by mountains, floating gardens, and the quiet beauty of Shan State. Inle Lake is one of Myanmar's most unique destinations, known for its villages built on stilts, traditional leg-rowing fishermen, and peaceful waterways that wind through the surrounding hills.

Beyond the lake, Shan State is a place of cool mountain air, green landscapes, vibrant cuisine and a slower, more relaxed way of life. We are excited to bring our loved ones together in one of our favorite places to celebrate and spend a few special days with us.

How the places relate to each other Inle Lake runs about twenty-two kilometres north to south, held between two ranges of the Shan hills. Nyaung Shwe sits at its northern tip. Heho Airport is a drive to the northwest, the first stretch through hill bends and the rest straight. Sanctum Inle sits well south of town, on the lake's eastern shore in Maing Thauk village, about an hour from the airport by road.

Arriving from abroad

International flights come into Yangon. Give yourself a night there rather than connecting straight through. Domestic departures are early, and the margin is thin if anything slips.

Book early

There are only a handful of flights into Heho each day and January is high season in Shan State. If you are coming, lock the flight in as soon as you have RSVP'd. Everything else can be arranged later, but that seat cannot.

Will you
be there?

We would love to celebrate this day with you in Inle Lake. Please let us know either way; a no is genuinely fine, and knowing either way helps us plan.

We will be sending more wedding info via this channel.

Which event will you be joining?

Thank you.

Before you ask

Questions

Dress code will be confirmed closer to the date. For footwear, plan for grass, timber decking and a little walking. Evenings by the water get properly cool, so bring a layer you are happy to be photographed in.

January is the dry season and the best time of year to be there. Days are warm and bright; nights are genuinely cold by Myanmar standards because of the altitude. Pack for both.

Heho to Maing Thauk is about an hour by road. Put your flight details in the note when you RSVP and we will help coordinate transfers so people arriving around the same time can travel together.

There is wifi at the resort and mobile coverage around Nyaung Shwe, though both can be spotty at times. Download anything you need for the journey before you leave Yangon.
