Auko Eco-Wellness Lodges, set to open in Q3 2026 in the
UNESCO-listed landscape of Phong Nha–Ke Bang National Park, will become
Vietnam’s first EDGE Advanced-certified eco-wellness lodge experience.
Positioned along the Son River and surrounded by the
limestone peaks and ancient cave systems of Phong Nha, the all-inclusive
retreat will feature 30 elevated tented eco-lodges and flood-adaptive
structures aligned with IFC’s Building Resilience Index (BRI).
Beyond its design credentials, Auko introduces a wellness
philosophy in partnership with Lumina Wellbeing, incorporating Rhassoul clay
rituals, hydrotherapy, forest rainfall showers, sound healing, primal movement,
meditation caves and seasonal ceremonies inspired by local Cham wisdom.
The guest experience is centred around three distinct
pathways:
• The Open Way – gentle restoration, movement and reconnection
• The Still Way – introspective wellness and transformation
• The Wild Way – active adventure and dynamic wellness experiences
The property will also offer forest-to-table dining at
Origin Restaurant, alongside jungle, river and cave adventures unique to
Phong Nha.
