Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat
There is something very special about arriving at Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat. Hidden in a quiet valley within the Trang An landscape, it is surrounded by rice fields, winding waterways and the limestone mountains that make Ninh Binh so remarkable. After the energy of Hanoi, this is the kind of place where you can immediately slow down.
The retreat has been designed with a strong sense of place. Vietnamese-inspired architecture, natural materials and thoughtful details give the rooms, suites and villas a warm, elegant feel, while large windows and private outdoor spaces keep the beautiful landscape close at hand. For families or guests seeking more privacy, the private pool villas are a particularly lovely choice.
Days at Jiva can be as active or as restful as you wish. Explore nearby Hoa Lu, Trang An and Tam Coc with a private guide, take a gentle cycle through the countryside, or return to the retreat for time by the pool. There is also a spa, tea house and a restaurant serving Vietnamese dishes in a calm, atmospheric setting.
What we love most about Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat is its peaceful setting. It feels private and refined, yet completely connected to Ninh Binh’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. It is an excellent choice for couples, families and travellers who would like a more luxurious stay in this extraordinary part of Vietnam.
Why We Love It
