Dine Breakfast at the Burasari Heritage restaurant is served on the terrace by the river, that lies across the quiet street from the hotel. We dined at the Terrace Restaurant on more than one occasion and found the food exceptional, the ambiance peaceful and romantic, and the service excellent. The Night Cap lounge at the Burasari Heritage has a billiard table and a selection of single malt whiskeys, aperitifs and imported cigars.
Relax Tucked away in the lush gardens is Spa Burasari. Overlooking the Nam Khan River, it offers a refined, skillful ancient healing techniques and modern body remedies. We started with a 15-min foot massage and scrub, and then moved on to a one-hour oil body massage. These were, by far, the best massages we had in Laos and very relaxing. They also serve delicious tea after the message.
