Nestled amongst five hectares of lush tropical landscape just 30 kilometres northwest of Hue city is a steamy new Vietnamese retreat, Alba Wellness Valley.
It’s authentic Vietnamese hospitality with exceptional service at the source of the Alba hot springs – you’ll be plunged into a whole new you at this all-inclusive resort.
With only 50 rooms, and seven accommodation styles to choose from, Alba Wellness Valley ensures a peaceful rest in the confines of a minimalistic Japanese-style room, featuring all the lush essentials for a relaxing getaway. The Bungalows evoke the rustic beauty of Vietnam’s countryside with large terraces, thatched roofs, bamboo blinds and garden views. As well as premium amenities including organic cotton sheets.
What activities are at a wellness retreat?
The resort features a plethora of activities to soothe your nervous system, including walking meditation, hot spring mediation, Tibetan singing bowl meditation, as well as yoga. Or for those looking for an energising experience, cycle, hike and zip-line your way into a transcendent state. You can also flex your creative muscles with a cooking class. Including a visit to the resort’s very own farm to embrace farm-to-fork dining. After your exhilarating – or zen – experiences, indulge in a leisurely soak in the Japanese onsen. Or enjoy reflexology, pink Himalayan salt scrub, or a luscious body massage.
Breakfast all day, every day
If you’re a ‘breakfast all day, every day’ sort of person, Alba’s signature breakfast is for you. Available anywhere, anytime – opt for breakfast in bed, poolside or even at sunset on your private terrace.
With four restaurants onsite, you’ll be spoilt for dining choices. Madame Chau offers fine dining with 360-degree views over Lotus Lake, laidback Mori restaurant serves light Western and vegetarian dishes. Hoa Sua dishes up Vietnamese specialties like Alba spring rolls, Hue beef noodles, simmered shrimp with honey, and braised pork with sour bamboo shoots. For casual dining, mosey over to Phong Lan, the open-air restaurant is perfect for basking in the sunshine while savouring seasonal fresh fruits.
Planning a romantic dinner? Experience an in-forest private barbecue with your loved one. The culinary team at Alba Wellness Valley will set up everything you need while you sip a cocktail and watch the sunset.
