Avana Retreat
About this venue
Avana Retreat sits deep in the forested valleys of Mai Chau, roughly two hours southwest of Hanoi, where terraced hillsides, trickling waterfalls and dense jungle canopy create a natural backdrop that immediately shifts a team out of city-mode. The drive from Hanoi is scenic and manageable, making it a practical choice for a multi-day offsite without the need for flights.
The property comprises 30 handcrafted villas spread across the hillside, accommodating up to 60 guests in private, well-appointed rooms. Each villa is designed with local materials and blends into the landscape, giving delegates a sense of calm that open-plan hotels rarely deliver. Shared outdoor terraces and communal areas provide informal space for conversation and connection between sessions.
For corporate groups, Avana suits leadership retreats, strategy offsites and team-building programmes that benefit from a change of scenery and genuine disconnection from daily routine. The surrounding jungle and waterfall trails offer ready-made team activities, while the tranquil setting supports focused workshops and facilitated discussions. Event planners will find the self-contained nature of the property particularly useful for groups who want privacy and full buy-in from attendees from the moment they arrive.
