  • Children · For children under 5 — one nanny per child, never in a group. Children are very welcome. The resort is large — please keep your children in sight at all times.

How it runs

Book the nanny together with your day at the resort
Check in at reception and meet your child's nanny
Share your child's routines, naps and any allergies
Enjoy your activities while the nanny looks after your child
Collect your child when you are ready
Book a private nanny in Luang Prabang while you spend the day at The Namkhan. Each nanny looks after one child under 5 and stays with that child alone; children are never grouped together. It gives you time for a spa treatment, a swim in the infinity pool or a slow lunch at Roots, knowing your little one has someone's full attention. Your nanny can take your child around the gardens, the games garden or the river beach, or simply stay close to you.
