The Bamboo Forest features a stone-lined stream, towering bamboo, lush grass, and, a broad mix of animals living harmoniously within the space.

“The Bamboo Forest is one of the most promising projects to contribute to our vision of sustainability,” said Mr. Vu Huy, founder of Avana Retreat. “Making use of our abundant land, we are encouraging biodiversity, a healthy ecosystem, and positive conservation practices.

For the Bamboo Forest, Avana Retreat worked with a specialist to integrate the current animals, which include deer, goats, rabbits, pigs, chickens, ducks and peacocks. In-house guests are invited to have hands-on experiences so they can learn about animal welfare, and be more aware of the environment, especially wildlife.

While the animals are all free to roam and interact with each other during the day they also have their own shelters they can return to in the evening.

“We have our own animal ‘whisperer’ on-site,” said Huy. “He’s here first, leaves last, and has already built a strong connection with them – feeding them, communicating with them, learning their names, and showing them how to be around humans.”

The resort also has a sizable ongoing tree planting project (10,000 trees and counting). There are also cultural initiatives to uphold ethnic minority traditions, organic farming, neighbourhood trash collection partnerships with youth groups, a no-plastic policy, and on-site water purification and bottling.

The Bamboo Forest is open from 9 am to 11 am and 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm daily.
