102 AsiaSpa July/August 2017It is almost impossible to feel stressed in
this beautiful UNESCO World Heritage
town. The blend of Franco-Asian history,
culture and architecture, the glacial
pace of life and calm of the Lao
people create a retreat of an entire
destination, rather than simply
hotel or resort retreats. Escape for
a long weekend and suddenly
deadlines, pressures and plans
seem blissfully far away
