Pu Luong Retreat

Slow down, breathe deeply, and live simply

An Eco Hideaway Amidst Vietnam’s Hidden Highlands

Tucked away in the heart of the Pu Luong Nature Reserve, Pu Luong Retreat offers a rare kind of luxury - the kind born from stillness, simplicity, and connection. Located just four hours from Hanoi, this peaceful hillside retreat invites guests to trade the noise of modern life for the rhythms of the forest and the quiet beauty of northern Vietnam’s terraced landscapes.

From the moment you arrive, the views are breathtaking: rolling green valleys, rice paddies carved into mountainsides, and mist drifting through limestone peaks. The retreat’s accommodations - a collection of stilt houses, traditional bungalows, and elevated hillside rooms - are designed to honor the natural surroundings, using sustainable materials like bamboo, stone, and reclaimed wood. Interiors are simple and soulful, with open-air layouts that let nature in.

The Retreat Restaurant serves up a thoughtful menu of Vietnamese classics and regional Thai-Muong dishes, all crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. A saltwater infinity pool stretches toward the rice fields, offering the perfect setting to soak, reflect, or simply be. Days here are slow and meaningful - spent hiking jungle trails, rafting down quiet rivers, or sharing tea with locals.

Whether you’re looking to recharge, reconnect, or just breathe more deeply, Pu Luong Retreat offers a grounding experience in one of Vietnam’s most untouched regions.

Perfect for: Eco-travelers, hikers, slow-living seekers, and couples looking to unplug.
