HOTEL OVERVIEW
Sapa has been becoming a major tourist destination of North Vietnam, a natural starting point for the unique experiences in the mountainous area, which includes the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, Indochina's highest peak of Fansipan (3143m) and 5 different hill-tribes, each one colorful, distinct, and with its own language and cultural values. Some of the villages, especially the more remote ones, are still largely untouched by modern ways of life.
Topas Ecolodge is situated in the perfect location at two cone-shaped hills set deep in the spectacular Sapa valley of Northern Vietnam. Code words for our little place are simplicity, quality and character.
Topas ecolodge consists of 25 individual lodges placed in a circle around the hills. From the lodge there are breathtaking views across the scenic valleys below, which are home to villages of the Tay and Red Dao minorities.
The restaurant and reception will provide the services needed to satisfy 50 guests at a time. In the Thai stilt house restaurant we offer meals three times a day.
Topas Ecolodge is based on ecological principles. We have implemented a wastewater facility to avoid pollution of the local area. All this is designed to ensure that the Lodge has a minimum impact on the surrounding environment. We employ local people and use local products and goods, in order to bring economic benefits to the local community.
Topas Ecolodge is committed to complying with all local and national environmental legislation and will continuously seek to evaluate and improve our environmental performance. As a Danish Vietnamese joint venture, Topas Ecolodge will act in accordance with the Danish Environmental Rules and Regulations (country specific for Vietnam).
Topas Ecolodge will work with local minorities in the Sapa area to create a mutually rewarding relationship. We will support the education of children in the local area, and respect local leaders and local natural resources.
Topas Ecolodge shall provide guests with the opportunity to experience nature in ways that lead to greater understanding, appreciation and enjoyment. Topas Ecolodge will identify and implement practices that optimize energy and water usage without affecting the quality of services provided to our guests.
