"Set in picturesque Luang Prabang, Amantaka is an ode to the town’s French colonial past with period architecture, exquisite attention to detail and Mount Phousi as a backdrop."

Amantaka, in the picturesque town of Luang Prabang, the former royal capital of Laos, is part of the Aman hotels and resorts group. The white-walled, green-shuttered period building retains the architecture and atmosphere of the town’s French colonial past and takes its name from the word Tipitaka, meaning ‘the teaching of Buddha’.

Centrally located with sacred Mount Phousi as a backdrop, the hotel is seconds from the bustling Unesco World Heritage Site town at the base of a small peninsula, bordering the Mekong river on one side and Nam Khan on the other. The location (only a ten-minute drive from the airport) is one of the best things about Amantaka, together with its exquisite service, friendly staff, Aman attention to detail and a respectful relationship with the Buddhist community.

Amantaka comprises 24 suites (some with substantial private pools) and opened in 2009 after a painstaking renovation that drew on the town’s Buddhist heritage. Luang Prabang itself is a tiny town,...   Show more

The location (only a ten-minute drive from the airport) is one of the best things about Amantaka, together with its exquisite service, friendly staff, Aman attention to detail and a respectful relationship with the Buddhist community.

Amantaka comprises 24 suites (some with substantial private pools) and opened in 2009 after a painstaking renovation that drew on the town’s Buddhist heritage. Luang Prabang itself is a tiny town, quiet and calm after about 9 pm at night, and it is easy to wander out to visit the night market before dinner or give a bowl of sticky rice (provided by Aman) to the monks at 5.30 am.
Visit The Restaurant for all-day dining with delicious local and French cuisine in an elegant dining room with soaring ceilings and antique tile work. The Pool Terrace is the perfect place for a casual meal or a cocktail to cool off, while the Lounge invites you to sip local mixed drinks by flickering candlelight. Sit down to an elegant afternoon tea in the library, then sign up for a cooking class to learn new techniques from the hotel chef.

Bicycles, tuk-tuks and private cars are available for guests to explore the local temples and amazing vantage points over the river, although the hotel is within walking distance of the local boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries. Amantaka also offers some excursions that are unique to the hotel, including a cruise to Buddhist Pak Ou Caves on the hotel’s custom-made boat or a trip to MandaLao Elephant Sanctuary to feed and bathe the rescued elephants.

Visit the spa for a traditional Lao massage, a Baci blessing, or a personalised wellness ritual with a herbal bath and mineral wrap. You can also shop at the Aman boutique which is filled with silk hand-woven scarves, locally made jewellery, and some interesting little books with details of local walks around the town.
