How it runs

Arrival — check in at reception; the team walks you to the jungle spa
Welcome tea — a quiet moment before your treatment
Body scrub — 30 to 45 minutes
Warm vapour bath — 15 to 30 minutes of deep warmth
Aromatherapy massage — 60 minutes with the organic oil you choose
Rest — herbal tea and water, with time to relax before you leave
Over 120 minutes, the ritual moves from a body scrub to a warm vapour bath and ends with an aromatherapy massage. The vapour bath is part of this ritual and is not offered on its own. If you are looking for the best spa in Luang Prabang, this signature ritual is the treatment we suggest you judge us by. The Namkhan's signature spa ritual in Luang Prabang suits guests who want a full afternoon of care, or a long, slow reset. Before the massage you choose one of our three organic oils, and your therapist asks about pressure, allergies and your health. Treatments start from 09:00, and the last one starts at 18:30. Arrive early for a shower and the rock pool, and keep time afterwards for herbal tea.
