More About
Amantaka

Amantaka’s name combines the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ with taka , from Tipitaka , meaning ‘the teaching of the Buddha’ in Theravada scholastic literature. Set on a garden estate, the 24-suite property is housed in graceful white-walled, green-shuttered, French colonial buildings. The property overlooks the Unesco-protected town of Luang Prabang, Laos' spiritual capital, and lies within walking distance of the many temples, boutiques and restaurants lining the main street, famous for its remarkably well-preserved mix of traditional and colonial architecture. Amantaka is also close to the banks of the Mekong River and the fabled night market. Housed in an elegant 19th-century building, Amantaka’s reception area is surrounded by shady verandas and opens to a boutique, gallery and library, all overlooking a leafy courtyard. Here, the Aman Spa and Fitness Centre flank the property's main swimming pool and terrace. Just south of the pool, 24 suites surround a spacious grassy courtyard. Amantaka’s suites vary in size from 70 to 120 square metres, and 16 offer private pools. There are eight Suites, four Pool Suites, eight Khan Suites, two Mekong Suites and two standalone Amantaka Suites. Amantaka serves authentic Lao and Western cuisine in a number of dining venues. The Dining Room provides an airy colonial ambience while the Lounge Bar is ideal for afternoon tea. The breezy Pool Terrace is a casual dining venue for lunch and dinner. Amantaka’s Aman Spa presents four luxurious two-person treatment rooms, each with a dressing area, treatment area, private Jacuzzi and individual relaxation room. Hydrotherapy facilities are also available. The treatment menu offers massages, facials, wraps and scrubs, incorporating traditional Southeast Asian techniques, ingredients infused with local herbs and Aman's signature organic skincare products. The Fitness Centre houses a state-of-the-art gym and a yoga studio. A private tennis court is situated a short distance from the property
