Amantaka

Luang Prabang, Laos
“ Refined luxury in the charming heritage town of Luang Prabang”

With Mount Phousi as a backdrop, Amantaka rests in the centre of Luang Prabang, the spiritual capital of Laos, close to the Mekong River and within walking distance of this UNESCO-protected town’s temples and historic attractions.

Set on a garden estate, this luxurious retreat of clam is housed in a white walled and green-shuttered period building, which retains the genteel tranquility of its French-colonial past, yet meets the needs of contemporary travellers. Suites resemble peaceful sanctuaries that feel close to nature, some have private pools.

Amantaka is a place of quiet contemplation infused with the spiritual tranquility of Luang Prabang. The name ‘Amantaka’ combines the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘Peace’ with ‘Taka’ (from ‘Tipitaka’), meaning ‘The teaching of the Buddha’ in Theravada scholastic literature. The recently launched on-site Buddhist Learning Centre is designed to educate and immerse guests on Buddhist practices and principles, bringing the five-star resort closer to the local community and traditional customs and supporting local monasteries.
