Recently I returned from five days in Vietnam. This trip was planned 15 months ago, as I was retreat venue hunting. Having never been to Vietnam previously I really had no idea what to expect.

I always try to keep my expectations low and I am always after a venue and location that is not overrun by tourists. Recently Vietnam has become the flavour of the month, even though this trip was organised 15 months ago. I had done my research and I wanted to explore Hue.

Hue is a historic city in Central Vietnam famous for its rich culture, imperial heritage, and beautiful landscapes, including the iconic Perfume River and the UNESCO-listed Imperial City. Formerly the capital of Vietnam under the Nguyen Dynasty, Hue is home to magnificent tombs, temples, and pagodas like the Thien Mu Pagoda.The city also offers a laid-back atmosphere, sophisticated local cuisine, and historical sites from the Vietnam War.

I found Hue impressive, beautiful, subtle, pretty and completely mesmerising.

But let’s keep moving…. Moving away from the city.

Nestled in the serene countryside of Hue, you will find Alba Thanh Tan Hot Springs.

Situated at the foot of the Truong Son Mountains, this wellness retreat is surrounded by lush forests and peaceful landscapes, offering a perfect blend of nature, wellness, and history. We will be staying here where we will have access to the medicinal properties of the hot springs any time we want.

The natural hot mineral springs of Alba Thanh Tan are a magnetic feature of this retreat. The theme of this retreat is simple-a complete disconnect from our daily lives and responsibilities for 7 days. Many of us are busy, stressed, caring for children and parents. Many of us are not filling our own cups. This retreat is designed to nurture you inside and out through the beauty and historical sites that we will see; through our daily yoga practice and through the medicinal healing properties of the surrounding natural hot springs.

These waters are naturally heated by geothermal energy, reaching temperatures of up to 70°C. Soaking in these mineral-rich waters is not only relaxing but also therapeutic, offering a wide range of health benefits for both the body and mind.

The hot springs at Alba Thanh Tan are famed for their ability to ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and detoxify the body. Rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and sulfur, these waters have long been used to treat conditions like arthritis, skin irritations, and stress-related ailments. Visitors often report feeling rejuvenated after just a short soak, as the minerals help relax both body and mind, promoting deep relaxation and healing.

For centuries, natural hot springs have been an essential part of wellness traditions around the world, and Alba Thanh Tan continues this legacy in Hue. After a long day of exploring or yoga practice, we will be sinking into the warm, mineral-rich water, letting the natural properties of the springs do the work to relax our muscles and detoxify your skin.

The venue that we will be staying at offers daily Japanese style Onsen experiences for us. If you haven’t watched the information session video which explains this, please reach out and I will send it to you.

Included in this Retreat will be:

🩵 Daily Onsen Session

💚 2 Massages

💚 On-site thermal pools that you can use any time and in your own time

💚 Two daily yoga classes

💚 Daily Breakfast

💚 5 Dinners

💚 Historic UNESCO listed Citadel guided trip to the Imperial Palace

💚 We will visit the active Buddist monestry of the famous monk Thích Nhất Hạnh. He was a Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition, historically recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness", Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.

💚 We will also visit a stunningly peaceful Buddhist monastery accessible only by boat which left me completely breathless.

💚 And many more surprises.

I am excited and looking forward to this retreat
