Discover our Travelife journey

At Asia Ecolodge, we run our business abiding by four key principles of sustainability, each of which helps us achieve an equilibrium that benefits everyone and everything involved in our operations.

Closeness to Nature

We endeavor to bring our guests as close to the natural splendor of Vietnam as possible. Over 80% of the land at our properties is dedicated to open space, including over 50% of greenery in gardens and vegetable and fruit nurseries. Many building materials come straight from the nature surrounding us, including wood, palm leaves, coconut husks, red brick, bamboo, and stone.

Environmental Protection

Most materials coming from nature are renewable and are used sparingly in our architecture. We also utilise solar power for outdoor lighting and other utilities, as well as greatly limit our use of plastics with paper straws, ceramic containers and refillable glass bottles.

Cultural Preservation

90% of the staff at our ecolodges are hired from local villages and most belong to ethnic minority groups who receive full training and opportunities to progress with us. We keep alive their beautiful and diverse traditions through nightly ethnic dances, local cuisine, local room décor and the use of traditional ethnic dress as staff uniform.

Responsible Tourism

We are proud to champion responsible travel and pass the benefits of our operations onto locals and the nature of our home. We always buy our ingredients and materials locally, as well as employing staff from disadvantaged backgrounds and offering workshops run by local artisans.
