National Geographic has listed Topas Ecolodge No 1 in its list of 21 places to stay if you care about the planet. 

"Sustainable, spectacular and engaged with local communities, these lodges are tucked into some of the planet’s wildest places," National Geographic commented.

High on a hilltop outside Sa Pa in north Viet Nam, Topas Ecolodge is an amazing mountain hideaway. 

This accolade comes just before Topas Ecolodge opens its new infinity pool with a spectacular view. 

Each bungalow built of white stone at the resort has a large terrace overlooking the landscape of mountains and terraced rice fields.
