Tan Da Spa Resort, Ba Vi
Located at the foot of Tan Vien mountain about 60 kilometers from Hanoi in the Ba Vi district, Tan Da Spa Resort is an ideal spot for year round vacations for both domestic and for foreign tourists.
My second trip to Tan Da Spa Resort was in the early winter. Although this time felt different, it felt the same deep impression on me. Perhaps it’s because of the seasonal differences of the scenery or the improved services at the resort. There are still such spectacular places as Tan Vien Mountain – Da River with it is natural beauty, the vietnamese traditional houses, Lac Viet house reflecting on the lake, Ong Do (Scholar’s) House, Dia Chu (Landlord’s) House, Phu Ong(Rich Man’s) House. All are hidden behind blooming rose-mallow fences. The swimming pool and spa make a real impression with a close connection with nature and a variety of high-class services such as the tean bath, massage, mud bath, mineral bath, aromatic spice bath and many more.
Despite the cooler weatheer, Tan Da Spa Resort attracts many visitors on the weekends because of its warm, mineral swimming pool. The mineral water is exploited from a depth of 150 metres. You will fully appreciate its miraculous effect, which will help wipe out all daily fatigue. Satisfaction is evident on the faces of those who have already partaken.
People now know how to balance between work and entertainment.Their choice of the Tan Da Spa Resort as an ideal place of relaxation is proof. It’s famous not onle for the unique warm mineral stream but also the immortal landscape, which takes you to the legend of Son Tinh (Mountain Genie) and Thuy Tinh(Water Genie) as well as the exceptional stories of the poet Tan Da.
The orginal culture has also contributed to the fame of Tan Da Spa Resort. Son Tay’s quintessence wad carved on the laterite entrance gate and Vietnamese culture was engraved on the ancient houses and ethnic stilt-houses. The eating anf drinking culture also makes Tan Da Spa Resort special. If Lao Cai is well-known for San Lung wine and Pho Corn wine. Tan Da entertains visitors with Tan Da wine – an unforgettable taste.
At night, when it’s cold, groups of visitors gather around camp fires drinking Tan Da wine at small outdoor parties with bbq fish and goat’s meat or hot pot. Everyone has different feeling about the value of time when staying here. At 8am the next day, the Spa Resort was crowded with visitors setting out to explore adjacent landscapes such as Ba Vi National Park. Da Chong Tourist site and Motheres Temple. Others like to relax right in the Spa Resort with a wide range of services that are always highly appreciated. Spa services at the resort consist of massage. Jacuzzi, dry sauna, wet sauna, and mineral soaking with red wine, black beer, cow’s milk or goat’s milk.
At 9am, newcomers flocked to Tan Da Spa Resort keeping the staff busy, yet always hospitable. The display of professionalism is also an important factor contributing to the success of Tan Da Spa Resort.
For myself, after having a swim in the hot mineral water pool, I took a stroll and observed the enjoyment and pleasure in the faces of the other visitors. This brought warmth to the cold days of winter.
