Amantaka
Summary
Amantaka’s graceful French colonial buildings are set amidst an exquisite garden estate, and as such, perfectly complement Luang Prabang’s own extraordinary natural beauty. Surrounded by plunging waterfalls, sheer cliffs, and the historic waters of the Mekong River, this ancient town was once the capital of Laos. Today, it is a UNESCO protected site whose rich heritage marries the tranquillity of the region’s buddhist identity with the architectural grandeur of the town’s colonial past. Amantaka offers its guests an unforgettable glimpse of a bygone era defined by its elegant luxury, whilst simultaneously providing an incredible insight into Luang Prabang’s Laotian culture. This resort is a true sanctuary, whose highlights include impeccable service, exceptional amenities and a wonderfully central location.

Dining |
In keeping with Amantaka’s commitment to authenticity, its dining venues specialise in exquisite examples of Lao and French-influenced cuisine. The resort’s main restaurant provides an airy colonial ambience, whilst the beautifully situated Pool Terrace is the ideal venue for a casual lunch or dinner.
The Lounge Bar offers an elegant atmosphere in which to enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif or a late night snifter; whilst those in search of a more intimate setting may choose to arrange a private dining experience. Private dining venues include any number of secluded locations throughout Amantaka, as well as in the privacy of the guest’s own suite.
Amantaka offers 24 suites ranging in size from 230 to 400 square feet. In all 24 suites, the living and bedroom areas open onto tranquil outdoor spaces that feature lounges and umbrellas. Each bathroom comes complete with twin vanities, a dressing area, shower, toilet and separate island bathtub; whilst other suite amenities include a writing desk, table and chairs, chaise lounge, and a private bar.

Similar in all other respects to the standard Suites, these beautiful rooms offer the added luxury of a private pool, located just beyond the lounge doors.
Khan Pool Suites
Also featuring a private pool and outdoor lounge area, the Khan Pool Suites additionally include a spacious indoor lounge complete with beautiful garden views.
Mekong Pool Suites
These two suites each boast their own private pool, as well as interiors that are even more spacious than those of the previous three suite types.
