Ana Mandara Villas Dalat Resort & Spa  

Directions

Location
Dalat is located in the south central highlands of Vietnam.

Known unofficially as The City of Eternal Spring, Dalat also lays claim to the title of le Petit Paris.

A scaled down version of the Eiffel Tower emerging from the city centre adds a certain Parisian feel, however it is the natural beauty of Xuan Huong Lake and the numerous examples of European inspired architecture and wide city streets that are really the centerpiece of this gorgeously romantic seductive city of 192,441 inhabitants.

Using the cool European climate (the area sits at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level) and the rolling mountainous, pine treed terrain, Dalat became the summer hill-station retreat for royalty and high society.

Concept
A 65 room resort, restaurant and La Cochinchine Spa set in the rural highlands of Dalat, Vietnam comprising seventeen fully restored colonial-style villas, each originally constructed between the 1920’s and 1930’s by the French settlers of the time.

The villas retain the unique personalities of their original owners while being lovingly restored to their former glory – albeit with the touch, with all care taken to preserve original design, décor and charm.

Accommodation
A total of 65 accommodations spread between seventeen individual, original French colonial villas.

Rooms are independently furnished and are true to their original design and décor.

Each villa consists of between three and five en-suited rooms, and includes the following shared areas for residential guests:
• Lounge area and open fireplace (most of villas)
• Dining room
• Outdoor terrace and sitting area
• Kitchen and pantry

A feature of each villa is the surrounding landscaped areas and expansive views of local urban life and farming countryside.

Room types range from Villa Rooms and Villa Studios through to Villa Suites.

We also offer especially dedicated Villa Spa Suites for that extra pampering.

For something truly unique, ask about The Bellevue Suite – with a breathtaking balcony and 270° views to match.

La Villa – a fully contained originally restored building complete with its own personal butler.

As each room has been individually restored to the original design, room sizes and positioning vary from villa to villa.
