If you're not up for a week at home, consider booking a resort right near the city.
Urban Havens for a Saigon Lunar New Year Getaway
The tradition of Tet celebrations has evolved over time. Recently, many families opt for a travel tour starting from day one instead of staying at home as in previous years. If not opting for an extensive trip, taking a break in resorts nearby or within the city for a change of atmosphere is also a fascinating choice.
La Maison De Campagne
A charming retreat nestled in Cu Chi district, Ho Chi Minh City, La Maison de Campagne is likened to Hoi An within the city with its simple design, characteristic yellow tones, garden, pool, and long sunbathing chairs—a unique stopover during the Tet holidays.
Upon arriving here, you might feel like coming back for the cozy arrangement, interior design, and exterior that are close-knit and simple. The single-story houses with tiled roofs, pathways adorned with floral tiles, connecting between villas, alternated with the silhouette of low blooming magnolia trees, create a very Eastern image.
The resort offers rooms starting from 1.5 million VND per room, not too expensive. La Maison de Campagne is located in Cu Chi district, approximately 60 km from Saigon and 20 km from Tan Son Nhat airport.
An Lam
The accommodation is designed as a lush garden with abundant trees and a swimming pool right next to the river. You can immerse yourself in the cool blue water or sit on the long benches, watching the sunset behind the distant coconut groves.
The architecture here is not overly elaborate, emphasizing simplicity but also quite creative in some aspects. Near the pool is a large wooden chair, uniquely designed in a circular shape, creating the distinctive brand of this resort.
All amenities in the resort are made of wood, giving a familiar and intimate feeling. An Lam is 15 km away from Ho Chi Minh City and a 30-minute drive from Tan Son Nhat Airport, making it convenient for transportation.
WhiteHaven Retreat
This place is renowned as the white castle in the heart of the city, long-established as a familiar check-in spot for the elite. The most distinctive feature of WhiteHaven is the centrally painted white accommodation area, exuding luxury and enchantment. The arched gateway and square-tiled floor from inside the house to the swimming pool evoke images of grandiose castles in India. Naturally, the prices here fall into the expensive category, ranging from 2.5 million to 3 million VND per night.
Located within the Phu My Hung residential area, this destination is chosen by many business people for their weekend retreats. WhiteHaven offers 19 rooms for accommodation, where guests can enjoy a space equipped with all the necessary amenities.
