Huke Coffee Manor
A hand-picked boutique retreat
Huke Coffee Manor is a working small-bean coffee estate on the ridge above the Nujiang valley near Lujiangba, Baoshan, in western Yunnan — Dai-tower villas among the coffee gardens, an open timber lounge, and a thatched cliff-edge deck where you roast and cup the estate's own beans.
A working small-bean coffee estate on the ridge above the Nujiang — the river the old maps call the Salween — near Lujiangba in Baoshan. Dai-tower villas sit among the estate's own coffee gardens; the heart of the place is an open-sided timber lounge under a woven-bamboo roof, with leather sofas, kilim cushions and glass walls that fold back to the forest. A thatched deck runs out to the cliff edge, where a rattan table looks straight down the whole valley. You pick, roast and cup the estate's own beans, then dine at its table.

Inside Huke Coffee Manor
Staying at Huke Coffee Manor
01 Where is Huke Coffee Manor and how do I get there?
It sits on a ridge above the Nujiang (Salween) valley near Lujiangba, in Baoshan prefecture in far-western Yunnan. Most travellers reach it by road from Baoshan or Dali; it's a working coffee estate rather than a town-centre hotel, so the setting is rural and quiet.
02 What makes it special?
It's a genuine working small-bean coffee estate. Dai-tower villas sit among the coffee gardens, there's an open timber lounge and a thatched deck on the cliff edge over the valley, and guests pick, roast and cup the estate's own beans, then eat at its table.
03 Who is this stay best for?
Travellers who want the far-western borderlands at their most unhurried — coffee country, slow mornings and a dramatic valley view rather than sightseeing on the doorstep. It's one of the stays on our Tropical Yunnan: Hot Springs, Dai Culture & Rainforests small-group journey.
