TRA VINH - A HIDDEN GEM

We are delighted to present a 3-day/2-night Mekong Delta escape to a hidden retreat in Trà Vinh. Thala Trà Vinh is a charming lodge set amid coconut gardens and rice fields, offering high standards of comfort and a thoughtful blend of nature and Khmer cultural heritage. The lodge features 16 private bungalows and an outdoor swimming pool, creating a serene, off-the-beaten-track experience.

• Khmer culture, pagodas & traditions

• Apsara dance performance

• Authentic local cuisine

• Tranquil nature setting

Depart by car for Trà Vinh (150km-4 hours), a tranquil Mekong Delta province known for its Khmer heritage, elegant pagodas and fertile countryside. Check in to a comfortable lodge set among rice fields.

In the afternoon, join a Khmer mask-making workshop and prepare cốm dẹp, a local sticky rice and coconut delicacy, enjoyed sunset by the pool. Dinner is followed by an Apsara dance performance celebrating Khmer culture.

Note: Activities are offered on a group basis.

After breakfast, set off on a 12km cycling ride through rice paddies, fruit gardens and traditional monkey bridges. Along the way, stop at a local home to learn about daily life, then visit a rice mill to see traditional processing methods.

Continue to an ancient Khmer pagoda, admired for its distinctive architecture, before meeting local farmers to discover Trà Vinh’s prized macapuno coconut (locally known as dừa sáp), a rare variety unique to the region. Enjoy a refreshing drink made from this speciality, then cycle back to the lodge for lunch.

The afternoon is at leisure to unwind in the tranquil surroundings.

Later, savour a thoughtfully prepared five-course dinner made with homegrown produce. Before retiring for the night, unwind with a soothing herbal foot bath to end the day in complete relaxation.

Note: Activities are offered on a group basis.
