Situated on a 160,000-sq-meter plot of land hugged by mountains, streams and rice paddies, Pullman Luang Prabang (www.pullman-luangprabang.com) is as serene as it gets.

All that space means the smallest of the 123 rooms and suites is 42 sq meters (from B3,300/night), while the singular two-bedroom pool villa is 270 sq meters and comes with a garden that can fit up to 50 people.

Facilities include a restaurant supplied with fruit and vegetables grown onsite, three pools, two bars, a fitness lounge and a spa. Occupy your time with treks through the forest, yoga sessions and feeding rescued elephants.
