Wellness meets wilderness at new resort

The recent opening of Auko-Eco-Wellness Lodges has brought an all-inclusive regenerative hospitality experience to the edge of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam’s central Quang Binh Province.

This resort is set along the Son River and embraced by the limestone peaks of the Phong Nha–Ke Bang UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area is home to the legendary Son Doong Cave, the world’s largest natural cave by volume, featuring massive internal jungles, a fast-flowing river and a space large enough to fit a 40-storey skyscraper.

The getaway-from-it-all property features 30 tented eco-lodges built from bamboo and reclaimed timber, with open-air bathtubs and premium linens.

For dining, Origin Restaurant is a haven for local regional flavours and wild-foraged herbs, serving full-board, forest-to-table meals.

For wellness and activities, the choices include hydrotherapy, sound healing, cave meditation, yoga and guided jungle treks.

Auko sets a new standard for sustainable luxury. The retreat’s design incorporates climate-resilient principles, with elevated bamboo walkways and structures that adapt to seasonal water changes. This approach demonstrates how hospitality can better respond to climate change.
