About Bản Cốc
A Zen Garden born of the forest, the spring and the warm hospitality of Vietnam.
✥
There are places that need no invitation, the mountains and forest hold you of their own accord.
Bản Cốc began with a simple wish: to keep a stretch of the Ba Vì wilderness wholly intact, then to open it so that people might come to rest, grow still and be renewed. Nearly 20 hectares of forest, spring and garden are tended like one great garden — where every path, every dwelling follows the contours of the land and the form of the trees.
Here, Vietnamese culture is not for display but to be lived: in the stilt-house roofs, in a cup of ginseng tea, in the rhythm of early-morning meditation beside the lotus pond. Bản Cốc is a Zen Garden — a place to return to, where the body finds rest and the mind finds peace.
This is the story of Bản Cốc.
Nearly 20 ha of forest & spring
The first value
Pristine
nature
Bản Cốc nestles in the heart of Ba Vì, where ancient forest, the spring and morning mist still hold a rare and untouched clarity. We choose to intervene as little as possible — so that the clouds may still drape across the mountains, and the stream may still flow along its own course.
Every structure rests humbly among the leaves, yielding the stage to nature. This is how Bản Cốc preserves a wilderness for today and for the days to come.

The second value
The soul of
Vietnamese culture
From the traditional stilt-house roofs to the Quan Âm statue beside the lotus pond, from a cup of wellness ginseng tea to the rhythms of local life — Bản Cốc holds Vietnamese culture as an undercurrent that runs through every experience.
Guests come not only to rest, but to live slowly within a space steeped in the Vietnamese spirit — where hospitality, refinement and spiritual depth become one.

The third value
A journey of
healing
Bản Cốc believes that healing begins in stillness. An 8-bed wellness therapy suite, a 1.1 ha garden of precious ginseng and a space for meditation together weave a programme for both body and mind.
Amid the scent of the earth, the sound of the spring and the herbs of Vietnam, every guest rediscovers their own breath — to leave Bản Cốc lighter than they arrived.
