THE NAMKHAN

The Namkhan is serenity personified. The broad bend of the Nam Khan River meanders slowly by. Tall trees sway in jungle-warmed air. Shady studios form an open air backdrop for gentle Qi Gong and yoga sessions. For those seeking a serious getaway this is the stay for you. Relaxation and rest abound but culture is also close at hand. The resort lies just a few minutes from Luang Prabang a UNESCO World Heritage city at the delta of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. This is one of the sacred cities in Laos and it is easy to see why. Spend the morning visiting temples and your evenings at a bustling night market. Or simply stay poolside with your choice of cocktail and watch the river glide past. Soak up some sun in the infinity pool or step away for a secluded swim in the shaded rock pool with the evocative Jungle Spa also close by. Dinner is another al fresco affair where organic ingredients sourced from the resort mean freshness and sustainability. The Namkhan is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property
