Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion named one of Vietnam’s Best Upcountry Hotels

Nestled in the tranquil foothills of the Truong Son Mountains, just 30 km from Hue’s city centre, Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion is a wellness sanctuary built around a natural hot spring that is rich with healing and therapeutic properties. With its signature eight-step Japanese onsen, lush 50-hectare grounds, and daily schedules of wellness rituals, the resort continues to define luxury through balance and authenticity.

“This honour reflects the unwavering dedication of our team to creating experiences that nurture the body, mind, and spirit,” said general manager Eugene Hendriks. “To be acknowledged by such a respected global travel authority for three years in a row is truly humbling.”

The award was presented at a ceremony in Bangkok on June 18.

Beyond its award-winning onsen and spa services, the resort offers yoga, tai chi, walking meditation, and seasonal wellness retreats guided by experts from around the world. All-inclusive wellness packages include Fusion’s signature “breakfast anytime, anywhere”, and holistic treatments that incorporate local herbs and traditions.

Resort guests enjoy farm-to-table cuisine, featuring organic vegetables, herbs, and free-range eggs and poultry sourced directly from the resort’s own certified farm. Cooking classes at the farm offer guests hands-on experiences in local gastronomy.

Sustainability is at the heart of Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion’s philosophy. From sourcing local artisanal products such as essential oils, ceramic crafts, and Hue’s famed ginger candies, to replanting fallen trees and recycling them into useful items like coasters and coffee trays, every detail is intentional. The resort holds a Level 1 Green Destination and Good Travel Seal, an international recognition of its eco-conscious practices.

In a fast-evolving wellness landscape, the resort has also continued to pioneer innovation. The resort spans 50 hectares of preserved nature, with the renowned Thanh Tan natural hot spring flowing through the heart of the property. Guests are invited to detox and reset through the resort’s signature eight-step onsen journey, inspired by traditional Japanese bathing rituals. To further deepen personal transformation, Alba offers a wide range of evolving movement therapies, mindfulness activities, and cultural storytelling sessions such as “A Walk in the Park” – where guests reconnect with nature through folk tales and botanical exploration.
