A time to reflect
As the year draws to a close and the festive season ensues, Aman’s retreats across the globe celebrate reflection in all its forms.
A place of quiet contemplation pervaded by the spiritual tranquility of the town itself, Amantaka’s spa offers guests an exceptional personalised experience. The spa menu draws on Lao healing traditions, incorporating local herbs and traditional Buddhist rituals.
Embark on a holistic journey
Our Signature Wellness Journeys are designed to meet individual needs while incorporating local wellness traditions and healing techniques. Each includes a massage and a personalised bath with local herbs. The Samun Pai incorporates herbal poultices, while the Anamai Hang Kai includes a detoxifying scrub and a mineral wrap.
Generations of wisdom
Passed down through the generations, Lao massage is a rhythmic, oil-free treatment performed over loose, comfortable clothing. A series of gentle stretches opens the body to enhance mobility, while deep pressure-point stimulation eases tension, leaving a whole body sense of relaxation and fulfillment.
Spiritual immersion
Every morning at dawn, the monks of Luang Prabang walk in silent procession through the quiet streets accepting alms from those waiting in day’s first light. Be a part of this moving ritual or celebrate dawn with a walking meditation, a yoga class, or a Baci blessing – a traditional Lao chanting ceremony to reintegrate harmony into one’s life.

Aman Advanced Facial
Made in Japan, Aman’s new functional skincare line, Essential Skin, is infused with powerful rice bran and indigo extracts, to achieve noticeably lifted, more radiant skin. Combining products from the Essentials Skin line with exfoliation and manual lifting techniques, the Aman Advanced Facial stimulates face muscles to improve the skin’s overall texture.
The treatment begins with ultrasonic scrubbing to loosen and remove oil and debris from the pores. Supported by electric muscle stimulation and massage to firm, and cryo bulbs to eliminate puffiness, the complexion appears brighter and tighter. The treatment continues with the application of a marine mineral mask to deeply hydrate, followed by Aman x 111Skin Nourishing Gold Algae hydrogel face and eye masks to achieve an exceptional glow. For a wholly rejuvenation process, the facial can be extended to incorporate a 15-minute scalp massage.
