The last months of the year are a great time to visit Sa Pa. Besides the picturesque scenery of golden rice terraces and blooming wild flowers in the rice season, Sa Pa in winter also attracts a large number of tourists. The fresh air of the mountains and forests will dispel all the worries of daily life, while delicious dishes will spread small joys in you. If luck smiles on you, you will also welcome the romantic first snow of the season.
To experience the feeling of European winter right in the Northwest, you must visit Topas Ecolodge - a green gem in the middle of poetic Sa Pa.
Perched on top of two conical hills, hidden deep in the Sa Pa valley, Topas Ecolodge is embraced by the jungle and completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the city.
After many years of adventuring in the mountains of Sa Pa, the Danish founders came up with the idea to create a “stopover and a place to return” for those who love to explore and love hiking. The mountain resort is friendly to nature, has basic facilities, and is close to the local ethnic minority community. This is the first and only place in Vietnam to date that operates according to the principles of sustainable development, ensuring that the impact of its activities on the surrounding environment is minimized.
All rooms at the resort are made of granite hand-cut by the most skilled craftsmen in Ninh Binh. The interior is decorated in a simple but sophisticated Nordic style, with a view of the majestic mountains. In addition, the new rooms are also equipped with a modern floor heating system to keep you warm throughout the winter. What could be more wonderful than "cloud hunting" right in the bedroom, lying on a soft bed and burying yourself in a blanket to enjoy a dream vacation? Leisurely start your late breakfast with a cup of fragrant tea or a hot cup of coffee to kick off a day of exploring Sa Pa. In the afternoon, leisurely immerse yourself in the warm water of the infinity pool to watch the sunset gradually fade, or relax in a herbal bath prepared from a hundred-year-old family recipe of the Red Dao people.
To bring the most authentic European winter experience, Topas Ecolodge also organizes extremely interesting activities commonly found in Western countries for you and your family or group of friends to participate in such as: enjoying mulled wine - a drink considered to be the embodiment of the festive season, decorating Christmas cookies, treasure hunting with your children or simply the whole family gathering together by the fireplace to chat and chat.
Europeans consider Christmas dinner as important as the Vietnamese New Year's Eve reunion meal. Don't forget to pre-order your favorite dishes at the restaurant located right on the premises of Topas Ecolodge. The talented chefs will use fresh vegetables from the home garden combined with local pigs, free-range chickens or brook trout to bring you an unforgettable culinary experience during your memorable winter vacation.
