How it runs

Arrival — check in at reception, then a welcome tea at the jungle spa
Before you start — a short chat about pressure, allergies and health
Sports massage — 60 minutes with warm oil
Rest — herbal tea and water, and time to rest before you leave
Whether you have been trekking, cycling or simply walking the old town for days, this sports massage in Luang Prabang gives your body a full hour of attention. Before starting, your therapist asks about pressure, allergies and any health conditions, so the massage is set to what you need on the day. Warm oil is used throughout. The treatment takes place in the jungle spa at The Namkhan, about 15 minutes from 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 no hurry to leave. You can also book it for two.
