Discover the Charms of Mai Chau Hideaway

Mai Chau Hideaway has become a recent hotspot in Mai Chau, attracting many, especially young people seeking Instagram-worthy check-ins. Situated approximately 20 km from Mai Chau Ecolodge and Lac Village, the property is located next to Hoa Binh Lake, offering expansive views, fresh air, and a cool breeze, prompting many to feel an immediate urge to visit.

Although not sprawling in size, Mai Chau Hideaway is likened to a 'hideout' as its name suggests, consisting of only 5 beautifully designed stilt houses. Each house represents a different ethnic minority group such as Dao, Mong, Thai, and Muong. Among them, there is a unit overlooking the vast Hoa Binh Lake, offering breathtaking views especially during sunrise and sunset. Here, guests can also partake in activities such as yoga sessions, kayaking on the lake, or cycling. Particularly enticing is the infinity pool perched on the edge of the lake, a favored spot for many Instagram check-ins. Don't forget to indulge in authentic Hoa Binh specialties such as bamboo-cooked rice, grilled pork, and freshwater fish.

Well-known among the Instagram generation, Sol Bungalows has been extensively reviewed by travel blogs since last summer. The resort made waves with its infinity pool overlooking the rice fields and distant mountain range, offering unobstructed views. Guests can not only plunge into the refreshing water but also indulge in admiring the beautiful nature at any time of the day, even amidst cloudy skies.

The main accommodations are designed as stilt houses with spacious palm-thatched roofs, providing cool and airy spaces, with verandas overlooking the rice fields. Additionally, there are deluxe rooms with more modern amenities, ideal for large families or those with small children.
