Meliá Ba Vi Mountain Retreat, situated in the uplands of Ba Vi National Park near Hanoi, is the first hotel in Vietnam to join the collection of properties around the world that form The Meliá Collection.
The new agreement was signed in May this year, with the official name change to take place in May 2025. Located within the national park, the 55-key Meliá Ba Vi Mountain will undergo refurbishments to further elevate its dining offerings and increase the range of wellness and well-being activities. Facilities comprise a spa, swimming pool, two restaurants, lounge, and event venues.
The property was built upon the historic foundations of a French residence and embraces the local landscape with open spaces and a line-up of nature-based excursions such as a guided tour of the 200 relics in the historic French hill station, a rejuvenating forest bathing session with a meditation session in nature, as well as a hands-on workshop to learn the natural dyeing techniques used for generations by the indigenous ethnic community residing in the area.
“We have promoted the preservation of what Mother Nature offers and the cultural and historic values unique to Ba Vi Mountain,” said Luong Ngoc Anh, owner of Melia Ba Vi Mountain Retreat. “Right from the start, our designs were nature-friendly and in harmony with the surroundings, honouring the enduring historical legacy. We want to bring our guests a feeling of harmony and comfort through experiences that connect the past and the present and embrace sustainable development.”
