Avana Retreat

Excellent service & experience, words cant describe how bad I want to come back

Such a pleasant stay. Very relaxing, calm, I love the waterfall

Except the location a little far from Hanoi international airport, the services, food, villas are super nice. The peoples are gentle and welcoming

Es war ein Traumaufenthalt im wundervollen Resort! Die Villa ist super, der Pool und der Aussichtspunkt bieten wundervolle Blicke über die Berge und Reisterrassen! Das Frühstück ist spitze, Vietnamesisch und westlich.

We stayed in five different hotels during our trip to Vietnam and the service here was above and beyond anywhere else. The staff are so friendly and polite, and really dedicated to showing you the best time. We fed animals at the farm (water buffalo, deer, goats, chicken and pigs), attended art and children’s cooking classes, watched traditional dance performances and even a movie night in the stilt house museum. Each experience was delivered by locals from the villages and/or staff at the hotel (usually for translating and providing further instruction). The massages at the spa were also incredible. I can never say enough good things about the views, the grounds, the approach to sustainable and responsible tourism, the GORGEOUS and spotless rooms, afternoon snacks and drinks, etc. They are also so attentive, when my husband was ill (for the previous place, not Avana), they delivered customized tea trays to our room. And when he dropped his phone in the fish pond (haha) they were quick with a net to safely retrieve it. We also enjoyed the local village tour, it’s such a remote area that was really special to see and learn about off the usual tourist path.

Our stay at Avana Retreat was great. We stayed in Room #304, and the views were absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the lush green mountains and serene landscape felt like a dream. The room itself was luxurious, spacious, and designed to seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. The happy hour is hands down the best deal for enjoying delicious, well-crafted drinks while soaking in infinity pool. It became our favorite way to unwind after a day full of activities. The breakfast buffet was spectacular and you have endless amount of options to choose from. The excursions arranged through the retreat were exceptional. The full-day hike to the Hmong Village offered stunning scenery and a glimpse into local culture, while the on-site cooking class was both fun and immersive, teaching us traditional techniques and flavors. We also treated ourselves to spa massages, which were incredibly relaxing and reasonably priced for the high quality of service. Overall, Avana Retreat is a beautiful and peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, connect with nature, and indulge in thoughtfully curated experiences, this is it. We can’t wait to return!
