Avana Retreat is a 36-villa property spread over 15-hectares of terraced rice fields and jungled mountainside, 3.5-hours drive from Hanoi. The stunning property features an untouched waterfall at its heart, spacious, indigenous design, a spa and yoga studio built on a stream and one of the most majestic dining opportunities to be found in Southeast Asia. Architecture leverages local Hmong and Thai building techniques and aesthetics and the resort’s villas range in size from 98-square-meters (1,054-square-feet) to 229-square-meters (2,465-square-feet). The private waterfall, which inspired the development when discovered by the founders a decade ago, is the backdrop for private dinners and intimate parties with a terraced deck overlooking the cascade. The property’s eight-treatment-room Orchid Spa is built along the stream, which courses through the site, and immerses guests in nature through both the therapies on offer and the lush landscape that surrounds. The property features four heated infinity pools with views of the sunset or cloud ceiling. Avana’s all-day dining restaurant, Green Chili, offers an impressive selection of dishes from pho and Australian Wagyu Beef to a line-up of vegetarian and vegan options. As much as possible the team uses local herbs, spices and vegetables.
