Serene Colonial Sanctuary at the Foot of Sacred Mount Phousi
Amantaka takes its name from the Sanskrit word for peace (aman) and taka, representing the Buddhist Tipitaka literature and virtues. Set within a former provincial French colonial garden estate in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang, the retreat is surrounded by sacred bodhi trees, shaded verandahs, and soaring louvered doors.
Housing just 24 serene suites—16 of which boast private plunge pools—Amantaka provides an unmatched sense of space, peace, and spiritual tranquility at the foot of sacred Mount Phousi. Guests are immersed in the timeless rhythms of Lao culture, from the silent pre-dawn procession of Buddhist monks during Tak Bat to private longtail boat voyages along the misty waters of the Mekong.
