Experience "Tet by the River" at An Lam Retreats Saigon River
Located just 25 minutes from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, An Lam Retreats Saigon River offers a spring getaway that's "far enough" to escape the hustle and bustle, yet "close enough" to still fully capture the feeling of family togetherness during Tet.
From the 27th day of the 12th lunar month until the 6th day of the 1st lunar month (February 14th to 22nd, 2026), An Lam Retreats Saigon River will ignite the spring festival atmosphere with Tet activities steeped in Vietnamese spirit and through traditional folk games such as bingo, O An Quan (a traditional board game), stilt walking, and making clay figurines. Children will be excited by the games, and adults will smile as fragments of childhood memories unexpectedly return.
With the theme "Tet by the River," An Lam Retreats Saigon River tells the story of the New Year with tranquility and sophistication.
Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) at An Lam is also told through taste. The "Tet Street Food" program offers a familiar spring outing experience, like a slice of Vietnamese life brought into the meticulously designed space of the resort. Familiar flavors like spring rolls, fresh rolls, and savory pancakes are enjoyed at a leisurely pace. There, you can savor the taste while watching the food preparation process and the cultural stories behind it. In addition, there are workshops on experiencing Vietnamese coffee culture, making Tet cookies and coconut candy at Regen Lab, where guests gain more diverse perspectives on Vietnamese cuisine.
The activity of wrapping Tet cakes takes place on the 27th, 28th, and 29th days of the 12th lunar month.
In particular, the activity of making banh tet (Vietnamese sticky rice cake) is an experience not to be missed. Participants make their own hot, steaming cakes from fragrant sticky rice, mung beans, and fatty pork, wrapped in layers of fresh green dong leaves, and learn more about the story of "banh chung is the earth, banh tet is the sky" in the Vietnamese psyche.
Tet in An Lam is more than just a spring festival. Here, there are also subtle moments of tranquility for those who want to enter the new year with balance. From basic yoga and spring vinyasa yoga to yin yoga for Tet, each session is like a purposeful moment of stillness, helping the body to "reset" after a long year.
Beside the tranquil and enduring flow of the Saigon River, An Lam Retreats preserves the most precious aspect of Tet: family reunion and a profound sense of peace to carry as a spiritual baggage throughout the year.

This setting creates a "Tet home" amidst nature – a place where guests can experience a change of scenery without losing sight of traditional values.

While daytime offers a slow pace of culture and tranquility, as evening approaches, the festive atmosphere at An Lam becomes more vibrant yet retains its characteristic subtlety. The Sen Restaurant is the centerpiece of the New Year's celebrations, where the most important moments of spring are cherished in a warm and meticulously arranged setting. On New Year's Eve, the dinner, accompanied by performances of traditional musical instruments, becomes a unique cultural highlight before the transition into the new year. Precisely at midnight, a dazzling fireworks display further elevates the emotions, creating a colorful moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new.
On the 4th day of the Lunar New Year, February 20th, 2026, Family Yoga will take place from 10:30 to 11:30 AM at Yoga Sala.
A fulfilling Lunar New Year celebration is not just about the festive atmosphere, but also about the feeling of physical and mental rejuvenation.

Guests can begin their day with meditation accompanied by the sound of singing bowls, allowing their minds to settle and the stresses of the past year to fade away.
