Day 1: Hanoi – Thanh Son – Thu Cuc – Ban Mai Retreat Hot Spring

Your wellness journey begins in Hanoi, where we escape the city’s hustle and bustle to embark on a scenic drive through lush green countryside. As we travel through Thanh Son and Thu Cuc, the landscape transforms into rolling hills and rice terraces, offering a preview of the tranquility ahead. Upon arrival at Ban Mai Retreat in Bờ hồ Suối Chiếu, Muong Thai, Phu Yen, Sơn La, we are welcomed with a refreshing herbal tea and a traditional foot soak using medicinal herbs collected from the surrounding forests.

After settling in, we indulge in a signature hot-spring therapy, allowing the mineral-rich waters to soothe our bodies and minds. As the evening sets in, we enjoy a farm-to-table dinner featuring organic local ingredients, followed by a cultural exchange with the Muong ethnic people, where we learn about their healing traditions and enjoy their folk performances under the starlit sky.

Day 2: Ban Mai Retreat – Free & Easy Wellness Activities

Wake up to the crisp mountain air and the serene sounds of nature. Today is dedicated to relaxation, exploration, and immersive cultural experiences, with a choice of activities:

Optional Activity 1: Boating on Suoi Chieu Lake & Pau Stream Bathing. Drift peacefully along Suoi Chieu Lake in a traditional wooden boat, taking in the reflections of towering mountains and lush jungles. We then visit Pau Stream, where the natural mineral-rich waters provide an invigorating and healing bath, perfect for deep relaxation.

Optional Activity 2: Trekking to Lat Waterfall in the Heart of Ta Xua Jungle. For those seeking adventure, an invigorating trek through the mystical Ta Xua jungle awaits. Following winding trails through dense bamboo forests and wild orchids, we reach the breathtaking Lat Waterfall, where a cool mist refreshes the senses and the hidden beauty of nature brings inner peace.

Optional Activity 3: Biking or Walking to Nearby Muong Villages & Fishing. Pedal or stroll through charming ethnic villages where the Muong people reside. Experience their daily life, admire traditional stilt houses, and engage in authentic cultural exchanges. Alternatively, try your hand at fishing in the tranquil waters of Suoi Chieu Lake, guided by local fishermen who share their traditional techniques.

In the evening, we return to the retreat for a deeply relaxing traditional herbal steam bath, followed by a calming meditation session before another exquisite meal of locally sourced delicacies.

Day 3: Ban Mai Retreat Back to Hanoi

On our final morning, we embrace one last wellness experience with a revitalizing yoga and stretching session by the lake, absorbing the peaceful energy of our surroundings. After a nourishing breakfast, we bid farewell to Ban Mai Retreat and make our way back to Hanoi, carrying with us a renewed sense of well-being, unforgettable memories, and a deeper connection with Vietnam’s pristine natural beauty and rich cultural heritage.

How safe is Vietnam?

Vietnam is a relatively safe country to visit but there are increasing instances of theft, especially in HCMC where pickpockets and snatch thieves on motorbikes are common. The best tip is to be vigilant at all times. Leave all valuables at home, and make sure you have a firm grip on cameras and shoulder bags at all times. Our guides will advise you on dos and don'ts case by case.

What about medical insurance?

It is advised that travelers should have medical insurance before arriving in Vietnam. Although there are several international medical clinics in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, generally the country still lacks adequate medical care for serious illnesses and injuries. We advise travelers to have sufficient cover for emergency medical care as a precautionary measure.
