Banyan Group has announced the opening of Garrya Mu Cang Chai, a wellness resort in Vietnam’s northern highlands. Situated at an altitude of 1,500 meters, the resort spans 6.5 hectares within a protected heritage landscape in Lao Cai Province.
The resort features 110 rooms, suites, and villas, all designed to offer views of the Northwestern mountains and terraced fields. The architecture incorporates bamboo structures, reflecting traditional Vietnamese craftsmanship and Hmong cultural motifs. The resort is positioned as the world’s largest bamboo-structured wellness resort.
Central to the resort is the 8ELEMENTS Spa, which offers a range of wellness services, including traditional Asian healing techniques and a 13-step hydrotherapy circuit. Additional facilities include a gym with panoramic views, movement classes, and other wellness activities.
Dining options at the resort include Refresh, which serves seasonal menus using locally sourced produce, and Charcoal Grill, which focuses on open-fire cooking. A poolside bar provides lighter meal options.
Garrya Mu Cang Chai is approximately three hours from Sapa and accessible via mountain roads. The resort offers guided treks and workshops with local Hmong artisans, providing guests with opportunities to engage with the region’s cultural heritage.
The opening marks Banyan Group’s first Garrya property in Vietnam.
