At Amantaka reservations for a Suite have been confirmed for the following 3 nights. Set on a large garden estate, Amantaka is housed in graceful French colonial buildings in the UNESCO protected town of Luang Prabang. Airy and elegant throughout, the décor and furnishings reflect the town’s French colonial history. Situated just south of Phousi Hill, the resort is within strolling distance of the boutiques, bakeries and restaurants lining the town’s main street. The fabled night market, the picturesque banks of the Mekong River and the former Royal Palace are also nearby. Laos, also known as the "Land of a Million Elephants," is one of the most unknown and least developed countries of Indochina. Maybe this is due to the fact that it is the only Southeast Asian country without access to the sea, or maybe because Laos has never played a significant role in the world history and had disappeared in the 19th century from the maps for a considerable time.
