Amantaka

Spiritual river retreat.

Situated within Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage site and Laos’s spiritual capital, Amantaka is within walking distance of the Mekong River. Located at the foot of Mount Phousi, the resort overlooks the town and is a short distance from bakeries, restaurants, and boutiques.

Insider Tip

Witness the daily Tak Bat each morning as monks and novices walk the streets at sunrise accepting alms and create a floral offering for the temple.

Where You’re Staying

Located between the banks of the Mekong and Khan rivers, colonial-style suites offer a peaceful oasis. Suites have spacious living rooms, libraries, and studies, along with outdoor relaxation salas, a garden, and a pool.

Where to Dine

The resort’s restaurant showcases Laos specialties such as foe, a rice noodle breakfast soup. Accompany an Amantaka chef to the morning market to learn more about the local Laotian produce. Western and French dishes are also offered at the three dining venues.

Where to Relax

Amantaka Spa’s therapies all use Southeast Asian techniques. The signature Baci treatment includes a traditional chanting ceremony followed by a cleansing exfoliation and body massage.

What to Do

Stroll through Luang Prabang at sunrise to witness more than a thousand saffron-robed Buddhist monks accepting alms. Visit local temples for quiet contemplation or place offerings at the Pak Ou Caves. Take a private Mekong River cruise at dusk.
