At the heart of Garrya Mù Cang Chải is the Awakening in the Mountains wellness programme, offering multi-day experiences with holistic practices, seasonal cuisine, and cultural activities.
The resort, Banyan Group’s first Garrya property in Vietnam, sits 1,000 metres above sea level in Yen Bai province, with bamboo-built villas overlooking rice terraces and peaks.
With 110 rooms, suites and villas, Garrya Mù Cang Chải offers private wellness areas, valley-facing terraces and naturally ventilated interiors overlooking the terraced landscape.
The resort’s Awakening in the Mountains is a multi-day wellness programme combining holistic practices, seasonal cuisine, and cultural activities. It is available as a four-day-three-night package from US$1,015 and a six-day-five-night package from US$1,821.
Guests begin with morning breathwork and grounding exercises in open-air gardens, followed by sessions at the 8LEMENTS Spa Hydrotherapy Wellbeing Area, which includes thermal pools, cold plunges, experiential showers, and an infrared sauna. The programme also features aqua yoga, spinal stretching, meditation, and natural detox sessions. Outdoor spaces and guided meditations provide areas for reflection and connection with the surroundings.
Culinary offerings include plant-based dishes from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients at Refresh, the all-day dining venue, and dinners at Charcoal Grill, which uses traditional cooking techniques. Cultural activities include brocade weaving workshops, herbal craft demonstrations, village-led treks, and storytelling with local H’Mong communities.
A six-hour drive from Hanoi, Garrya Mù Cang Chải provides access to sites such as Mam Xoi Hill, Khau Pha Pass, and the Mù Cang Chải Bamboo Forest, allowing guests to experience the land, the heritage of the H’Mong people, and a slower pace of travel.
