Mountain View Infinity Pools
Offering breathtaking mountain views, the pools invite relaxation and a deep connection with nature. Positioned halfway up the hill, the upper pool features a fully stocked bar, while the lower “Adults-only” pool, unheated for a refreshing experience, includes a jacuzzi. The upper pool caters to all guests and boasts an eco-friendly heating system, ensuring a comfortable year-round temperature while conserving energy.
Rice Spa
Just steps away from the stunning infinity pools is the Rice Spa, a haven of serenity that houses ancient rejuvenation secrets as well as more modern indulgences. The on-site spa also offers a selection of in-room services such as Vietnamese traditional and deep tissue massages, Ayurvedic abhyanga, and relaxing head therapy.
Rooted Healing Therapies
A highlight of your stay here would be to luxuriate in the Red Dao Herbal Bath that draws from the medicinal plant wisdom of the Red Dao—the region’s ethnic minority group. Crafted from an array of local medicinal herbs, Topas Ecolodge invites you to unwind through this time-tested wellness practice that is believed to alleviate fevers, headaches, and circulatory issues, and can also enhance skin complexion and even aid post-childbirth recovery.
Explorative Wellness
Embark on a journey of self-discovery in the heart of Sapa’s breathtaking landscapes. We believe in nature’s power of healing and at Topas Ecolodge’s remote location where time slows and the majesty of nature takes over, there is an abundance of escapes where you can enjoy moments of stillness. Whether you go on a mountain walk or enjoy the idyllic villages on a bike ride, there’s plenty of time and space here for you.
Isolated though it may be, Topas Ecolodge offers a fine selection of dining spots that will cater to your cravings. Home to Restaurant 360, The Stilt House, and The Pool Bar, this mountainside wellness hideaway will surprise you with flavours you won’t find anywhere else.
Scenic Gastronomy
Restaurant 360 offers locally inspired dishes grilled to perfection while you enjoy panoramic views of the majestic mountains of Hoang Lien National Park, while The Stilt House serves seasonal offers with the freshest organic produce of the region in a warm and homely setting. Looking for something more relaxed? The Pool Bar offers finger foods too.
Special Renewal Rituals
At the Rice Spa, the Gentleman Renewal Ritual and Ladies Revitalising Ritual await—rejuvenating your skin, muscles, and even your lymphatic system while using special botanical ingredients from the region.
Village Exploration
Go on a walking tour of the nearby Lech Village, home to the Red Dzao tribe. Set high on Thanh Kim Commune’s mountain peaks, you’ll have a peek at the life of the locals while enjoying views of terraced rice valleys.
Cable Car Day Trip
Feast your eyes on expansive views of the Muong Hoa Valley, China, and Laos on Asia’s longest and tallest cable car—less than 10 minutes away from Topas Ecolodge.
Mountain Biking
Feeling more adventurous? Topas Ecolodge has a half-day biking circuit where you can let the crisp mountain air cool you as you cycle through 7 km of forests and fields.
Textile Workshop
Experience a full-day textile workshop in Lao Chai Village, where Black H’mong artisans guide you through fibre production and the dying process. You’ll also go on a scenic walk from Lai Chau Village to Ta Van Village.
Ethnic Markets
On Sundays, tribes such as Flower H’mong, Phu La, Black Dzao, Tay, and Nung tribes all come together to trade. Pick up a piece or two of handicraft to commemorate your stay and support the locals too.
Born out of the desire to create a comfortable base close to the ethnic minority villages while being well away from the crowds, Danish travel firm Topas Travel built a lodge embodying principles of Scandinavian design enriched by Vietnamese flair—a boutique masterpiece that rivals the opulence of 5-star accommodations.
Premium Executive Bungalows
Nestled at the far end of the resort for ultimate seclusion, each Premium Executive Bungalow emanates rustic warmth from its robust stone walls, a plush bed adorned in neutral hues, wooden furnishings, and an expansive private balcony offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The perfect spot for a quiet cup of tea or bubbly under the night sky.
