The Discovery Experience
Accommodations, often at distinctive lodgings, are chosen to enhance your experience. Because we're traveling in a small group, we can pass right by the blase hotels. Instead, we'll opt for lodgings combining quality, location and value to keep you immersed in the culture. Our regional staff has hand-picked accommodations whose atmosphere, decorative touches, and genuine warmth reflect the rich traditions of your destination, each dedicated to excellent service and comfort.
Here are some of the unique accommodations you'll enjoy with Discovery Tours:
The elegant Le Palais Juliana in Luang Prabang is set amidst well-manicured grounds with views of the nearby Laotian hills.

Situated on a 200 acre estate right on the banks of the River Suir, 6 miles east of Waterford City, Faithlegg House is an 18th century mansion in Waterford which has been restored to provide luxury accommodation with leisure, health and beauty amenities and a championship parkland Golf course.

Situated amidst the majestic dunes of Erg Cherbi on the edge of the Sahara, this deluxe camp provides all the comforts for a glorious stay.
