Where nature cradles your soul

A Hidden Haven in the Northern Highlands

Spanning 15 hectares of pristine forest and terraced rice fields, the retreat blends harmoniously into the landscape, offering an experience rooted in nature and Vietnamese heritage.

Avana features 36 spacious bungalows, suites, and private pool villas, each handcrafted with natural materials such as thatched roofs, bamboo, and clay walls. Every accommodation offers sweeping views of the valley or cascading waterfalls, creating a deep sense of calm and seclusion.
