Auko Eco-Wellness Lodges is an eco-focused retreat on the Son River, on the edge of UNESCO-listed Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park. Surrounded by limestone mountains, jungle and one of the world’s most remarkable cave systems, the lodge provides a more comfortable base for travellers wanting to explore Phong Nha while staying immersed in its natural surroundings. Accommodation consists of just 30 tented lodges, with open-air bathtubs and in-room wellness touches designed for relaxing after a day of caving, hiking or exploring.
Stays are all-inclusive, combining meals, outdoor experiences and daily wellness treatments, with an emphasis on recovery after active days in Phong Nha. Guests can choose between programmes centred on independent exploration, relaxation or more active adventure, with activities ranging from yoga, sound healing and herbal treatments to river trips, jungle walks and cave exploration. Origin Restaurant focuses on seasonal local produce, regional dishes and foraged ingredients. Sustainability is central to the property, which is EDGE Advanced-certified and designed to significantly reduce energy and water consumption.
