Thatched-roof bungalows provide views of emerald rice paddy fields, the pool awaits, there is plenty to do, and the staff are more than accommodating.
Mai Chau’s on-site restaurant specialises in local Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, the ingredients for which often come from the eco lodge’s garden. There’s an outdoor swimming pool available for all guests and a massage centre with skilled staff offering a wide range of treatments.
Mai Chau Ecolodge suits those who value scenery and simplicity over sleek luxury—perfect for a short escape from Hanoi. It’s a great option for exploring the countryside by foot or bike, with friendly service, flexible room options, and a peaceful setting to unwind after a day outdoors.
There is a wide range of room types to suit all needs and budgets. All are adequately air-conditioned and have views of either the lodge gardens or the rice fields and the mountains beyond. The superior rooms are somewhat basic but bright with red tiling, bamboo furnishings and comfortable, firm king-sized beds. Junior-deluxe and deluxe rooms have private gardens and outdoor showers. Guests seeking a private plunge pool will find one in the suites. Families, in particular, will appreciate the option of connecting deluxe rooms or taking the family bungalow.
