Why we love it
Located close to Mount Phousi, the Amantaka is the most spoiling and indulgent property in the country. Amantaka is surrounded by lush green countryside, spectacular waterfalls, ancient caves and is within walking distance of picturesque temples, villages and night markets of Luang Prabang.
The suites at Amantaka are spacious both inside and out with
shady gardens with sunbeds placed under the mango trees. All are elegantly furnished with high ceilings and most have the added luxury of their own private pools. Amantaka has an excellent Spa offering a wide range of treatments and rituals.
Be educated and immersed in the practices and principles of Buddhism, with private teachings and question times with the abbot.
Witness hundreds of monks brightly dressed in orange process down the street at sunrise accepting alms, and offer them your own floral offerings.
Help the resort raise funds for local projects, including supporting children's hospitals through purchasing art, and visiting the monastery school on a cruise.
Travel along the Mekong River to see the sunset over the mountains with cocktails and canapés in hand, passing evening rituals along the riverbank as you go.
Enjoy private temple visits around Luang Prabang for quiet contemplation, or joining in with important Buddhist festivals.
See the site of one of Laos' oldest pilgrimages on the riverside, and count how many Buddha statues have been offered along its shelves.
Spend a morning with celebrated author and photographer Hans Berger in his private riverside residence, to learn about his work and life in Laos.

We’ll never forget our time in Luang Prabang, it’s the most wonderful place. We spent three nights of our honeymoon here waking up to the smell of coffee and croissants; exploring the jungle temples; shopping in the night market and so much more. It’s such a special place and we’d never have thought to include it without Katie‘s advice and encouragement. Thank you.
