MAI CHÂU ECOLODGE, MAI CHÂU

LUSH NATURAL SCENERY

A stay at Mai Châu Ecolodge is all about immersing yourself in Vietnam’s rural culture, dining on home-cooked meals and soaking up the lush natural scenery.

Though just under a hundred miles from Hanoi, this eco-conscious lodge feels worlds away from the urban bustle. The surrounding valley is incredibly tranquil, home to small ethnic minority villages – the Thai, H’mong and Dao – that sit among a beautiful patchwork of paddy fields. Mai Châu Ecolodge blends seamlessly into this lush landscape, comprising just a handful of thatched hilltop stilt-houses in the village of Nà Phòn.

Rooms are airy and spacious with modern amenities, private balconies and outdoor showers. Through the plentiful use of local wood, bamboo, palm leaf and stone, they pay tribute to their natural surroundings. When not out hiking to nearby villages or cycling tranquil paths through the valley, you’ll find a spa offering traditional massages, a lagoon-style pool to dip into and two bars with stunning views. The Orchid Restaurant delivers delicious local dishes, from stir-fried beef to clay pot chicken, both indoors and on its wide balcony.

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Their specialists are passionate and deeply knowledgeable, their local partners outstanding, and their service consistently first class. We’ll continue turning to them for every special trip.
