An all-suite sanctuary in Luang Prabang

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Set within a cluster of restored French colonial buildings in UNESCO-listed Luang Prabang, Amantaka offers a quietly immersive way to experience Laos’ one-time royal capital. The former hospital complex has been reimagined into just 24 suites, each arranged around private courtyards with shaded daybeds and deep soaking tubs that encourage relaxed afternoons.

Interiors favor simplicity — clean lines, pale woods and silk accents — allowing the rhythms of daily life outside the gates to take center stage. The central courtyard houses an alluring dark-green-tiled lap pool, while the spa occupies the property’s original hydrotherapy rooms, now used for traditional Lao treatments and herbal steam rituals.

Dining leans local, with ingredients sourced from nearby markets. Experiences are just as thoughtfully rooted in place, including guided almsgiving walks at dawn, silk-making workshops and elephant sanctuary visits. Calm, discreet service reinforces Amantaka’s greatest strength: a rare sense of stillness in the heart of Luang Prabang.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Amantaka’s address in Luang Prabang offers a sense of seclusion while remaining walkable to temples, night markets and the Mekong.
With its appropriately Zen-like atmosphere, the spa draws on Lao traditions and Buddhist rituals to induce calm in its treatments. Those craving something more cutting-edge can opt for a facial with Aman’s own Japan-made skincare line, Essential Skin.
Dining emphasizes northern Lao cuisine with a few familiar French favorites, too. Ingredients are often sourced from the luxury hotel’s organic farm, and cooking classes are available for those who want to learn how to re-create those local flavors at home.
Guided experiences are deeply place-specific, including early-morning almsgiving walks, private temple visits and Mekong River cruises led by Amantaka’s resident guides.
The central courtyard is anchored by a long lap pool shielded by frangipani trees, a perfect spot for a dip during the warmest hours of the day.

The Rooms

The Luang Prabang hotel's 24 suites are housed within restored French colonial-era buildings, each arranged around a courtyard.
The suites are expansive, starting at 764 square feet, inclusive of a mango tree-shaded terraces. Many accommodations even offer private pools that add an extra air of exclusivity to your stay.
The cream interiors are pared back with warm woods, whitewashed walls and silk accents sourced from Lao artisans. Thoughtful details include custom writing desks, woven floor mats and locally crafted ceramics that subtly reflect regional design.
Freestanding soaking tubs sit just off the bedroom in oversized bathrooms, paired with walk-in rain showers and generous vanities.
The 1,259-square-foot Amantaka Pool Suite comes with a living room, library and study. A veranda wraps around the suite, and a garden and relaxation lounge sit next to the large pool.
