Avana RetreatMai Chau, Vietnam

Built among rice field terraces, waterfalls and jungled mountainside, the brand-new, super-lux Avana Retreat in Mai Chau Vietnam is symbolic of iconic south-east Asian beauty.

Avana Retreat was inspired by the discovery of a local waterfall, just ten years ago.

That very waterfall is now privately accessible to guests of the retreat (of which there aren't many – there’s only 36 rooms here) making it a truly ethereal breakaway – the kind you dream about from your desk every day at work.

There are more private surprises throughout: one villa perches on top of a terrace of rice fields; and three more boast private pools, including an 89-square-metre heated beauty that climbs in tiers, echoing the nearby rice terraces.


From AU$645 per night.
