Relive crystal-clear memories at a resort with the breath of Vietnamese countryside

The Ruong Resort is a resort located in Phuoc Thuan commune, Xuyen Moc district, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province.

Unlike other resorts in the area, The Ruong aims for a secluded resort model, where individuals can find themselves and nature. Therefore, what makes The Ruong unique is its harmony with nature and complete separation from crowded residential areas.

Originated from clear memories

Established in late 2019, Ms. Duong Huynh - currently the manager of The Ruong Resort shared with Travellive.

"The idea of ​​building The Ruong was conceived when the construction team wanted to have a place to rest that brought the feeling of returning home. In our childhood, we always kept simple memories of thatched roof houses, so the traditional details of the countryside were thoroughly used."

She hopes that The Ruong will be a small world living in the heart of society with its own slow rhythms and rhythms. Just like this place itself, although it is close to the bustling Ho Tram beach resort, it still chooses to nestle at the end of the village road. Visitors will encounter familiar images of the simple, peaceful homeland that we have been attached to through the architecture inspired by the rural village.

Sustainable development with locality

The Ruong is moving towards a green resort trend where 90% of the employees are local, minimizing the impact on the environment through efforts to not use disposable plastic.

"Decorative objects are all made from environmentally friendly materials and honor traditional Vietnamese crafts. The business philosophy of The Ruong is to protect the environment while bringing income to people in Xuyen Moc district." - Duong Huynh shared.

Green vacation blends tradition and modernity

The architecture at The Ruong focuses on simplicity but still scores points with a modern architectural perspective that creates a creative, modern feel.

With an area of ​​approximately 10,000 m2, The Ruong has up to 21 private spaces located along the windy rice fields. Each Bungalow will have one or two independent bedrooms depending on the room type, a kitchen and a shared living room. The whole house is connected by a large roof with a porch inspired by a kite filled with wind. The walls are plastered with earth, the roof is thatched with palm leaves, and the glass windows stretch the length of the room to take advantage of natural light and minimize electricity.

The corridors connecting the areas are decorated with familiar flowers and grasses along with large shade trees, making the space always filled with the sweet smell of new rice and the pure cleanliness of nature. Thatched roofs, mossy tiled roofs, wooden beams,... all use local materials. The decorations in the rooms are made from porcelain, water hyacinth, brocade, which is both friendly and close to Vietnamese culture.

Isolated but not isolated from amenities

Visitors here can choose from a variety of leisure experiences such as participating in energy recovery or trying out family-friendly recreational activities such as fishing by the lake, or more interestingly, trying their hand at treasure hunting, kite flying or folk games.

Duong Huynh said that many tourists, after coming here with their families, for the first time had time to let their children experience interesting folk games associated with their parents' childhood.

At The Ruong, there are always services that take visitors to natural landscapes in the ecosystem cluster in the Ba Ria - Vung Tau area: Binh Chau hot spring, Hoa Binh waterfall, Tropicana water park, CICADA nature reserve. Bung Rieng sheep hill,... for visitors who are passionate about exercise. Yoga sessions connecting with nature, trekking on primeval forest trails with local guides are an experience worth exploring.

For a locality that still retains its wild beauty like Xuyen Moc, all it takes is a simple trip to freely breathe in the fresh air of the sea and forest. Or Duong Huynh often suggests to tourists about meetings and conversations with local people, helping them to expand their knowledge about local culture.

"This southern coastal area is so innocent and pure, just walking by the fields can help us find ourselves among the hustle and bustle."

Everyone should have a peaceful "hideaway".

Like other resorts, weekends and holidays are peak times for The Ruong. But Duong Huynh has a more interesting suggestion.

"Personally, I like The Ruong's image on weekdays the most, it has a peaceful and gentle look. I think everyone should try to come to The Ruong once a weekday, sit in the garden drinking tea, walk in the fields watching the sunset to fully enjoy the natural beauty of Xuyen Moc land."

Sharing with Travellive, Duong Huynh also hopes that The Ruong in the future will not limit itself to a fixed group of customers. It could be a family with parents and two small children, a group of teenagers or an office worker looking for a "hideaway" from the crowded city,... Anyone who comes to The Ruong will have the feeling of returning, of leaving behind the eternal troubles of life.
