We enjoyed a wonderful and peaceful three days at the Zen Namkhan overlooking the Zen Namkhan River 15 km Luang Prabang. Rooms were lovely, ours had a large vaulted ceiling and indoor/outdoor shower with porch on which to relax and enjoy the sunsets and activity on the river below. Although we would have liked a bit more hot water, it... More

A more beautiful and relaxing place is hard to imagine. The service from the greeting at the airport to the delivery back was flawless. The ambience is cleverly thought out and the food beautifully presented. Very clean and well run. Khamsaen ( concierge) guided us through mos of the menu during the six days we spent in this most restful... More

Zen Namkhan Boutique Resort was perfect. From the very first encounter with the charming and gently attentive staff, who offered a delicious fresh welcome drink and a warm smile, through the delightful surprise of finding a natural pool equipped with little fish, to the walk through the tropical gardens to the cool, breezy villa overlooking the lazily flowing river, all...

Zen Namkhan Boutiqe Resort Idyllic. For those who love nature and the natural world. From our first view of the lake-like pool edged with pebbles and natural vegetation, we knew we had arrived at a special destination. Our welcome drink was cold fresh papaya juice, which we were offered whilst seated on the open upper veranda of the restaurant. Our... More

This was a very special experience in Luang Prabang. A bungalow on stilts with a 10 metre long verandah overlooking the NamKhan River. Set on a natural hillside. No tuk tuks, no motorcycles, no touting for business. Just a beautiful serene environment with the occasional boat heading up river to the Tad Sae falls. A walk away was the Elephant... More

Our family had a memorable visit at this small boutique resort. The staff is friendly and attentive. The rooms are gorgeous, spacious, and clean. The owners and management have created a peaceful ambiance with natural pool ("fish spa" is available if you let the small fish nibble your toes), Japanese spa, gardens, serpentine paths, views of the mountains and river,...

My husband and I booked our 3 night stay at Zen Namkhan as we were encouraged by positive reviews on Trip Advisor. Unfortunately, only hours after dinner at the resort on our first night, my stomach was in agony and I was violently sick with vomiting and diarrhoea for the whole night. This was not ideal given that there were... More

Dear Guest, We are very sorry about your illness when you stayed at our resort. Stomach problems are common when you travel, especially in countries like India and SE Asia and it can be very difficult to pinpoint exactly where the stomach problem originated. Some bacterial intestinal problems don’t show up for several days. We try to offer the best... More

It was a very peaceful place to stay in family. The staff was helpful, and pleasant. We have learnt so much about the country through the staff 's stories. We enjoyed the organic and environmental friendly touch: swimming pool without chlorine, organic tea and beautiful smoothies! The rooms were exquisite and we loved the atmosphere! Travelling with your 4X4 was... More
