A hotel and a park at once: a hundred hectares of pine forest at the foot of Nui Voi — Elephant Mountain — half an hour from Da Lat along the airport road. It is built not as a hotel with a garden but as a park with villas inside it: you are driven around in a buggy, and you can either stay the night or come for the day on a ticket. The themed zones are borrowed from other cultures and each sits on its own slope: a Japanese garden with a red torii gate, a house under a curved roof, clipped ball-shaped shrubs and beds of hydrangeas; a Chinese courtyard with a round moon gate in the wall, a pavilion under a hundred silk lanterns and carved wooden screens; a Korean hanok; a Central Highlands village with longhouses. In the middle is a lake with a fountain, a gilded seated Buddha on a platform in the middle of a white bridge, and above it, up the steps, a Zen monastery with an orange tiled roof and a white statue of Guanyin. Between the zones run stone paths, boardwalks along the stream and benches under bamboo and pines. The lodging is scattered over the hills: three-storey white villas with mansard roofs and flower names — Tulip, Mimosa, Lavender — on one slope, a row of container bungalows with wooden decks above the valley on another. The rooms are modern and expensively finished: backlit timber battens on the wall, a full-height window with two armchairs and a small table, a freestanding tub by a blinded window. The view over the pine hills is the main reason to come: in the rain the mist crawls along the ridges, and you see it just as well from the decks as from the room window.
Worth knowing. A day visit runs from 8:00 to 17:00 every day, and a voucher is exchanged for a ticket until 16:00.
  • entry 190,000 ₫ per adult, covering the electric-buggy ride around the grounds and four attractions: kayaks, the rope park, the caterpillar ride and the haunted house
  • at the on-site ticket booths the same combined ticket goes for 180,000 ₫
  • children under a metre go free, under 1.4 m at half price
  • karting, boat rides and the tea ceremony are paid for separately

Lodging: 10 villas and 20 bungalows, including a row of converted containers and tents with hotel furnishing by the stream. A deluxe room is 69 dollars a night, about 1.8M ₫, which is what our booking cost for the end of August 2026. An eight-bedroom villa for sixteen people goes for 13M ₫ Sunday to Thursday and 14M ₫ on Friday and Saturday by the resort's own list; breakfast, a welcome drink and the buggy are included. Guests staying over do not pay the entry fee separately. Check-in from 14:00, check-out by 12:00.

Food: several restaurants and coffee shops around the grounds, Vietnamese cooking. Portions are large and the prices are not resort prices — a salad 110,000 ₫, noodles with meat and vegetables 120,000 ₫, a cola 20,000 ₫, a beer 28,000 ₫ (checked on the spot on 29 August 2026).

Getting there: Km 214 of the Lien Khuong — Prenn road, K'Long village, Hiep Thanh commune. From the centre of Da Lat it is 25–30 minutes on the new road over the Prenn pass, and 12 km from Lien Khuong airport. There is no public transport to the gate: people come by bike, car or taxi.

Careful. The zones are decorative. The Japanese garden, the hanok and the Chinese courtyard were built as places to walk through and photograph rather than as historical buildings — this is not where you come for genuine architecture. You come for a walk in the forest, the views and the pictures.

It is not a quiet forest hotel but a park with attractions: at weekends and in the school holidays the paths and the lakeside are busy, and you can hear the go-kart track and the zip line. If you want silence among the pines, take a room away from the lake and the entrance.

The site is large and all of it is on slopes. Walking the whole thing in one go is hard work, and the buggy runs a fixed route rather than on call. A pushchair is awkward in places: cobbles, steps and boardwalks.

The weather decides a lot. In the rainy season, May to October, the downpour usually arrives after lunch: paths get slippery and the water attractions and the zip line close. Come at opening time rather than at midday.

Если у вас забукан номер с ванной - имейте ввиду, что горячая вода заканчивается быстрее, чем ванная наполняется целиком. Дальше либо ждать, либо греть чайник) возможно, частный случай - вилла Лаванда.
