Fodor's Expert Review Mai Chau Ecolodge
Na Thia Village, Na Phon Commune, Mai Chau, Hoa Binh, Vietnam Fodor's Choice
This is arguably the most relaxing retreat in the valley—surrounded by green hills and rice paddies, the property is both luxurious and sympathetic to its environment. Built entirely from natural materials, the buildings have thatched roofs, bamboo interiors, and wooden furniture. The private bungalows are built in traditional Thai stilt-house style and have outdoor jungle showers, emphasizing the "back-to-nature" ethos. The restaurant serves some alluring Vietnamese dishes as well as a smattering of White Thai specialties.
PROS
- thoughtfully equipped accommodations
- restaurant serves local specialties
- beautiful environment
CONS
- outdoor showers are a little exposed to passing pedestrian traffic
- a little pricey for the area
