Hotel information
AVANI+ Luang Prabang is a delightful hotel that feels very much at home in this, one of South-east Asia’s most spiritual cities.
An immaculate ensemble of white walls, teak wood and green plant life makes for a peaceful backdrop here, compounded by the oversized swimming pool with its cerulean waters. An overriding feeling of zen washes over as you make your way through the AVANI, welcomed by gracious staff who will be ready and waiting to assist in whatever way possible.
A true sanctuary-like resort, the AVANI is also well-placed for soaking up the magical atmosphere of wider Luang Prabang, with the night market right opposite and Mekong River just a short stroll away. This is the place to experience the almsgiving ritual at the break of dawn, delivering food to the cloaked monks as has long been the tradition here in this divine city. Afterwards, return to AVANI+ Luang Prabang for a delicious spread laden with pastries and coffee, perhaps take a nap in your cocoon-like guestroom, or opt for a yoga session to both reconnect and recharge.
The rest of your day might involve delectable meals at the hotel restaurant, or any of the eateries lining the banks of the Mekong. You could head out to explore temples, charter one of the AVANI’s own boats for a river cruise, or simply stay put at the hotel bar and people watch with a sundowner or two.
Room Options
Unwind in one of 53 tastefully adorned rooms and suites at the AVANI+ Luang Prabang, all teak floors, natural light and useful mod-cons. Every room features a balcony or terrace, minibar, coffee machine, rain shower, Wi-Fi and flat-screen TV, as well as a soothing backdrop of white walls, crisp bed linen and light wood, making for a relaxing stay in Luang Prabang.
Avani Deluxe Room
The Avani Deluxe Rooms are each 35sq m in size and found either on the ground or upper floors (the former with a terrace and sun loungers, the latter with a furnished balcony). They come with rain showers, Wi-Fi, one king-size or twin beds, a minibar and coffee machine.Avani Deluxe Pool View Room
Set around the courtyard, these 35sq m rooms enjoy views of the pool and Banyan Tree plus – on the higher floors – Mount Phousi. Choose either one king-size or twin beds, and a terrace or balcony.Avani Suite
Ranging between 58-85sq m in size, the spacious Avani Suites are big enough for up to three guests and offer the choice of a terrace or balcony, facing the garden. A living area and bathroom with twin vanities completes the picture.Facilities/Amenities
The large, turquoise swimming pool is the focal point of AVANI+ Luang Prabang, with plenty of sun loungers and parasols all around. The pool bar is close by, and manicured gardens with towering trees round the outdoor space off nicely. This meditative tone extends into the hotel spa, where an array of treatments – including jasmine body scrubs, energy boosting massages and more – leave you feeling relaxed and restored. A yoga pavilion and gym make up the fitness offerings, though if you prefer to watch sport rather than do it yourself, head to the downstairs lounge to catch a game on TV.
Restaurants & Bars
Main Street Bar and Grill
A fusion of western and local fare is served at the hotel’s restaurant, such as spicy salmon tartare, oven-baked pizzas and khao soi soup – to name a few. The ingredients that make up each dish are sourced locally and sustainably, with the aim to support Laotian suppliers.

Main Street Bar
Above the restaurant, AVANI’s chic bar is an open-air affair from which you can watch the world go by, drink-in-hand.
Poolside Bar
An elegant spot for daytime drinks as you lounge poolside, or for cosying up by the fire come evening. Should you feel peckish, wait staff will bring snacks from the hotel restaurant to you, so you needn’t lift a finger.
Activities & Entertainment
AVANI+ Luang Prabang is wonderfully located in the old town, with so many sites and attractions close by to keep you busy. Meander through the night market right opposite the hotel, or explore temples and monasteries like Wat Xien Thong and Haw Pha Bang for a dose of local culture, and be sure to experience almsgiving at dawn at least once. Stroll to the banks of the Mekong River, where a string of bars, restaurants and cafes lie in wait, or even take to the water on a cruise and get up close to the Kuang Si waterfalls – the hotel has two private boats to charter.
