This morning of fitness in Luang Prabang, with a sports massage to follow, starts early. At 08:00 you meet your personal trainer for a session outdoors, then from 09:00 the outdoor gym overlooking the river is yours to keep going at your own pace. It is a Luang Prabang fitness morning with the recovery built in. At 10:30 a 60-minute sport massage works through tired muscles at the jungle spa. From 11:30 you can rest in the sauna, swim in the infinity pool or sit in the chess garden until the pass ends at 13:30 — in time for lunch in town or at Roots. The Namkhan sits by the Khan River, about 15 minutes from Luang Prabang town by tuk-tuk or taxi, and a free shuttle runs from the city centre — message us on WhatsApp for times and pick-up points.
