The Namkhan
Nam Khan River, outside central Luang Prabang, Laos

The Namkhan combines a working organic farm with rooms, villas and glamping accommodation beside the Nam Khan River. Gardens, pools and open-air spaces encourage a slower stay, while yoga, cooking sessions and other activities provide alternatives to another day of temple visits. The restaurant draws on produce grown on the property. Compare the accommodation carefully, since canvas tents and enclosed suites offer different levels of shelter, space and connection to the riverside setting.
