National Geographic has named Viet Nam’s Topas Ecolodge on its list of unique lodges around the world.

It is the first resort from Viet Nam and the fifth resort in Asia to be included in the list, including Sukau Rainforest Lodge in Malaysia and Three Camel Lodge in Mongolia.

Earlier, National Geographic also named Topas Ecolodge top of its list of “21 places to stay if you care about the planet”. 

According to National Geographic, these lodges have unique designs and architecture with creative solutions and wonderful food. They are located in spectacular areas.

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

As one of the longest-running and most philanthropic lodges in the region, Topas Ecolodge has nurtured strong relationships with the local hill tribes and with each passing year, the lodge conceives new ways to give back to these communities that are so integral to their operation. — VNS
