On October 13, 2025, at the Asia-Pacific Awards by the World Travel Awards (WTA), Panhou Retreat was honored as Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 and nominated for World’s Leading Green Resort 2025, marking a remarkable achievement for Impression Asia Travel and Vietnam’s sustainable tourism movement.

Vietnam, October 23, 2025 -- “Being recognized as Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 by the World Travel Awards is an immense source of pride for us. This award is not only a recognition of over 20 years of relentless dedication to eco-conscious tourism that respects nature and traditional culture but also an inspiration for us to remain steadfast on the journey of sustainable development. We are truly grateful to the local Hoàng Su Phì community and to all those who have stood by Panhou Retreat in spreading positive values and helping us achieve this success,” shared Mr. Kien Le – representative of Panhou Retreat.

Panhou Retreat – a serene wellness retreat in Vietnam, harmoniously blending nature, culture, and sustainable living in the heart of Hoang Su Phi.

Panhou Retreat – Known as the “Green Oasis” of Hoang Su Phi

Nestled among the mountains and forests of Hoang Su Phi (Tuyen Quang), Panhou Retreat is a pioneering eco-resort in Vietnam with over 20 years of development following a sustainable tourism model that connects the community and preserves indigenous culture. With its green architectural space and environmentally friendly operation model, Panhou Retreat has become an ideal destination for travelers seeking serenity, a connection with nature, and an authentic cultural experience in the highlands.

For that reason, Panhou Retreat, listed among the best wellness retreat in Vietnam, is often compared to a “green oasis” with architecture in harmony with nature. The entire resort uses bamboo, wood, stone, and rattan—eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable materials—minimizing the use of concrete and modern industrial technologies. The open design optimizes natural light and airflow, preserving tranquility and a close bond with the surrounding forest landscape. It is also one of the first 5-star resorts in Vietnam to pioneer sustainable tourism with a strong sense of responsibility toward the community.

In its operations, Panhou Retreat adheres to the 3R philosophy: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle. Single-use plastics are eliminated and replaced with refillable glass bottles and reusable items made from stone, bamboo, wood, and rattan. Solar energy systems and motion-sensor lighting are cleverly integrated into the natural environment to reduce environmental impact while ensuring necessary illumination. Notably, over 95% of the staff are from local ethnic communities, professionally trained in waste sorting, refill station management, environmental protection, as well as tourism–hospitality skills and foreign languages, providing stable job opportunities and development for the Red Dao people and other local communities.

Spreading the Journey of Sustainable Tourism

Panhou Retreat, a serene retreat in Vietnam, also maintains an ethnic heritage museum that preserves traditional garments and artifacts of the Red Dao people. Visitors are not only invited to explore but also to participate in cultural experiences such as wood carving, dó-paper painting, traditional tea rituals, garden meditation, herbal baths made from over 20 precious mountain herbs, as well as trekking and cycling through local villages. More than 95% of international guests express their desire to return if they have the opportunity to visit Vietnam again—a testament to the meaningful and unforgettable experiences that Panhou creates.

With a community-oriented spirit, Panhou Retreat has established the “Panhou Sustainable Development Fund” with an initial capital of 200 million VND, sourced from a portion of revenue from each guest’s stay. This fund focuses on four key goals: supporting local economic development; vocational training for local residents; tree planting to protect the primary forest; and supporting waste collection initiatives in sustainable development projects. Thus, every guest visiting Panhou directly contributes to Hoàng Su Phì’s green journey.

From a humble resort hidden in the ancient forest, Panhou has remained steadfast on its path of “slow but steady” development—preserving cultural identity and empowering the community. Winning the title Asia’s Leading Green Resort 2025 from the World Travel Awards (WTA) is not only a source of pride for Panhou but also a strong affirmation of Vietnam’s sustainable tourism direction. When nature and culture walk hand in hand with people to create meaningful values, destinations in Vietnam are fully capable of shining on the global tourism map.
