Mai Chau, Vietnam

Situated in the heart of the verdant Mai Chau Valley, this ecolodge is our top choice for accommodation in the region. The property occupies a scenic spot overlooking fields backed by mountains carpeted in vegetation. It's a secluded haven that is built entirely from natural materials with bamboo and wood featuring heavily in the individual bungalows and the two-storey reception and restaurant. 

Each of the 19 spacious bungalows boast a private garden with beautiful wood furniture, an outdoor jungle shower and a balcony from which to soak up the rural views. There's also a roomy private bathroom inside with a showpiece bath tub made from wood. The suites come with a private plunge pool and even more impressive views. 

On hot days, guests can enjoy the outdoor swimming pool, surrounded by attractive garden and complete with a bar and sun loungers. Meals are served in restaurant, which is perched at the highest point to provide panoramas for all. Like the decor, the food showcases the local culture with a fusion of traditional Vietnamese food and Thai tribal cooking. 

Enjoy a three-night stay at the Mai Chau Ecolodge on our 13-day Northern Vietnam tour.
