Amantaka

Housed in a quiet corner of Luang Prabang amid tropical gardens, Amantaka is a tranquil haven within walking distance of the city’s main sights. Part of the Aman Group, this luxurious resort hotel blends Old World charm with French colonial elegance for a relaxing stay.

The 24 suites are light and spacious with dark wooden furniture, king-size four-poster beds with silk mosquito nets, and crisp white linens. The bathrooms have huge tubs and separate showers, and most suites have a private plunge pool.

Meals are a fusion of Lao and French cuisine served in the airy Dining Room or Pool Terrace, while the Lounge Bar specialises in afternoon tea and evening drinks.

Guests can embark on guided tours of Luang Prabang and its vibrant temples, along with private river cruises, cultural experiences, and excursions to Pak Ou and the Kuang Si waterfalls.

Alternatively, recline around the beautiful swimming pool, participate in cookery classes, and rejuvenate body and mind in the spa and wellness centre.
