Avana Retreat is a 15-hectare resort in Vietnam’s Mai Chau Province, a 3.5-hour drive from Hanoi. The 36-villa property features a spa and yoga studio built on a stream, and a private waterfall, which inspired the entire development when discovered by the founders a decade ago.
“It was important to us that we not affect the flow from the main waterfall at the heart of our resort,” said Mr. Vu Huy, founder of Avana Retreat. “We discovered this beautiful natural pool at the lower part of the flow and built around it to give our guests the chance to connect with nature without impacting it.”
The new Hidden Spring Lagoon space was recently launched, featuring two sunbeds, a changing room area, and towels available post-dip. A small bar has been set up so guests can order drinks to enjoy along with the scenic views.
