How it runs
Arrival — check in at reception, then a welcome tea at the jungle spa
Choose your oil — one of three organic oils; a short chat about pressure, allergies and health
Herbal compress massage — 60 minutes with heated herbal compresses and warm oil
Rest — herbal tea and water, and time to rest before you leave
For this Lao herbal compress massage, your therapist heats herbal compress balls and warms the oil before you arrive. You choose one of our three organic oils, and you are asked about pressure, allergies and any health conditions before the massage begins.
The treatment lasts 60 minutes and takes place in the jungle spa at The Namkhan, by the Khan River and about 15 minutes from Luang Prabang town. Come a little early if you like: there is a shower and the rock pool to enjoy before your treatment, and the sauna can be heated for you if you book it 45 minutes ahead.
Afterwards there is herbal tea and water, and time to rest. Couples can book together.
