Description
the Topas Eco Lodge has a perfect location - situated atop two cone formed hills, set deep in the spectacular Sapa valley of Northern Vietnam.
The eco lodge 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. A restaurant and a reception will provide the service needed to satisfy 50 guests at a time. In the Thai stilt house restaurant we offer a buffet three times a day. Topas Eco Lodge will be based on ecological principles. We use solar technology to supply every lodge with energy. 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 Eco Lodge has been built by local constructors and skilled local people. Staffing the Lodge with local people offers them opportunities for employment throughout the year.
