Nestled in the foothills of the Truong Son mountain range, just a short drive from the ancient citadel of Hue, sits Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion, the haven of tranquillity we’re in search of, the ultimate wellness destination where you can escape the stresses of urban life, if only for a while, and fully reconnect with yourself.

Surrounded by 50 hectares of pristine forests, still lakes, lush gardens and tranquil paths that wander through groves of towering bamboos, this is the perfect environment to recharge in a setting completely at harmony with nature.

Home to mineral rich Thanh Tan hot springs and its streams of steaming waters that wind their way through the resort’s gardens, this truly is a place to recharge and renew. Hot water from the 3,000-metre depths boasts balanced and stable minerals that are good for health and comparable with famous thermal waters in Europe. Bathing in these springs helps to recover from modern life ailments to ensure vibrant health on the path to relaxation and rejuvenation. A must-try is the water meditation sessions.

“Our natural health-laden waters and location among the tropical forests of Central Vietnam provide the perfect backdrop for retreats that harness the healing power of the natural world,” said Hylton Lipkin, general manager of Alba Wellness Valley by Fusion. “Guests always leave feeling more relaxed and centred, just from the environment, but we wanted to help them take their wellbeing to the next level.”
