A Modest Sanctuary

We did not set out to build a conventional swimming pool. We brought clean mountain water down by gravity and return it clean to the land. The result is intentionally modest — a quiet place to rest the body after trekking, sit with the view, and follow the slower rhythm of the mountains.

Best Times to Swim

• Early morning (07:00–09:00) for still water and mist
• Late afternoon (16:00–18:30) for softer light and cooler air
• After a day of trekking or Loop riding — many guests find it a good way to let the body recover

How to Visit

If you are staying at the Ecolodge, the pool is free and open to you during operating hours. If you are a day visitor, come to reception and pay the 100,000 VND entrance fee.
