Avana Retreat Mai Chau

It was a truly memorable day when our team came upon a breathtaking hidden waterfall while trekking the Mai Chau Valley. Whether from experience or instinct, we knew that there was something special to be found in the surrounding forest. Our persistent search revealed a waterfall, nestled behind dense foliage. A sense of relief and joy invaded our thoughts as we realized that we had found something very special. Avana was born that day.
 

LOCATION

Avana has the characteristic of the highland climate that is quite similar to its neighbor Moc Chau. The comfortable weather makes the retreat beautiful all year round with plum blossom season, bauhinia blossom season, rice growing season, and harvesting season. It’s beautiful even in the winter when the leaves have dropped and the trees are down to their bare bones. 

Our priority in everything that we do is to protect the environment. The waterfalls have been kept in their initial state while streamlets continue to meander their way through the valley.

Avana is derived from the word “A-yana,” meaning a beautiful flower. Like a wildflower nourished by nature, Avana is meant to be loved and admired.

Ninety percent of Avana staff are ethnic people whose former incomes came mainly from two rice cultivations in the fields. They came to Avana with limited education and no knowledge of hospitality and tourism but had an aspiration to diversify and improve their ability to earn a living.

We provided free training programs to help them succeed. They have welcomed the opportunity to work and build careers here in their beloved homeland and are now an integral part of the Avana family.
