Perched on a secluded hilltop deep in the mountains of northern Vietnam, Topas Ecolodge is an award-winning retreat where sustainability and serenity go hand in hand. A world away from the bustle of modern life, the lodge gazes out over endless layers of misty peaks and cascading rice terraces, just 45 minutes from Sapa town. Here, guests are invited to reconnect — with nature, with themselves, and with the simple rhythms of mountain life. Built using local white granite and traditional wooden elements, each bungalow reflects the surrounding ethnic culture while offering contemporary comfort. Wake to the sound of birdsong and distant buffalo bells, then breathe in the cool morning air from your private balcony.
By day, trek through Red Dzao and H’mong villages, cycle mountain paths, or simply unwind in the infinity pool with panoramic views of the Hoang Lien Mountains. In the evening, gather around the fire for a mountain-inspired meal under the stars. Topas Ecolodge is a member of National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World and a proud champion of responsible travel — designed to leave as little trace as possible, yet unforgettable in every way.

LIVING
With 49 rustic-chic bungalows scattered across the hillside, Topas Ecolodge offers immersive comfort in the heart of Vietnam’s northern highlands. Built by skilled local craftsmen, each stone bungalow opens onto a private terrace with sweeping views of the surrounding valleys — where clouds drift through terraced rice fields and sunlight plays on the peaks.
Inside, minimalist interiors blend natural wood, granite, and linen with handcrafted ethnic textiles, creating a cozy and calming refuge. Free from televisions and distractions, each space invites reflection and rest. Modern amenities include plush bedding, in-room heating, ensuite bathrooms with eco-friendly products, and daily housekeeping. Select Premium Executive Bungalows offer outdoor bathtubs with mountain views — the ultimate retreat for nature lovers. Each bungalow is a testament to Topas’ philosophy: simple, beautiful, and in harmony with the land.
DINING
At Stilt House Restaurant, Topas brings the essence of the mountains to your plate. Savor fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and Topas’ own organic garden — a celebration of Vietnamese highland cuisine with Nordic-inspired touches. Whether it’s a steaming bowl of local pho at sunrise, a grilled trout dinner under candlelight, or a midday salad fresh from the garden, every meal is crafted with care and sustainability in mind.
Start your morning with a nourishing breakfast buffet while gazing at the valley below. Later, enjoy a sunset drink at the Mountain Bar or sip warm mulled wine fireside as the fog rolls in. For special occasions, private hilltop dining experiences can be arranged — perfect for romantic evenings or quiet celebrations in nature’s embrace.
SPA & WELLNESS
Tucked into a quiet hillside pavilion, the Topas Mountain Spa invites guests to unwind in an extraordinary setting. Inspired by traditional wellness rituals of the local ethnic groups, treatments are performed using natural ingredients such as mountain herbs, cinnamon, ginger, and green tea. Enjoy a herbal bath in a wooden tub, a deep-tissue massage after a long trek, or a revitalizing foot treatment with panoramic views.
The spa features a double treatment room for couples, a herbal steam bath, and an open-air lounge where you can sip mountain tea and let the silence soothe you. Topas also offers guided yoga and meditation sessions at sunrise, surrounded by the serenity of the Hoang Lien National Park — a perfect way to begin or end your day in balance.
