MAI CHÂU ECOLODGE, MAI CHÂU

LUSH NATURAL SCENERY

A stay at Mai Châu Ecolodge is all about immersing yourself in Vietnam’s rural culture, dining on home-cooked meals and soaking up the lush natural scenery.

Though just under a hundred miles from Hanoi, this eco-conscious lodge feels worlds away from the urban bustle. The surrounding valley is incredibly tranquil, home to small ethnic minority villages – the Thai, H’mong and Dao – that sit among a beautiful patchwork of paddy fields. Mai Châu Ecolodge blends seamlessly into this lush landscape, comprising just a handful of thatched hilltop stilt-houses in the village of Nà Phòn.

Rooms are airy and spacious with modern amenities, private balconies and outdoor showers. Through the plentiful use of local wood, bamboo, palm leaf and stone, they pay tribute to their natural surroundings. When not out hiking to nearby villages or cycling tranquil paths through the valley, you’ll find a spa offering traditional massages, a lagoon-style pool to dip into and two bars with stunning views. The Orchid Restaurant delivers delicious local dishes, from stir-fried beef to clay pot chicken, both indoors and on its wide balcony.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“SEAMLESSLY ORGANISED, TRULY UNFORGETTABLE”

The itinerary was spot on. Claire really listened and understood the kind of holiday I wanted – from the hotels to the pace of the trip. The team on the ground were exceptional: friendly, efficient, and always one step ahead, helping with everything from flight check-ins to tax-free procedures at the end. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. I had an amazing time. Thank you!

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
