What is Asia Tropical Resort & Spa?
It is one of the newest resorts in the Pu Luong valley, and the one built most deliberately around its pool. The property has 51 rooms plus two traditional stilt houses, all with private balconies and heavy use of natural wood, on a forested hillside at Danh hamlet.
The facilities are the Terraced Blue Pool, Bliss Spa, Puluong Emotion Restaurant, Cheer Pub, a cafe and yoga spaces. The resort says it has created hundreds of local jobs since its construction phase.

Where exactly is it?
Danh hamlet, Pu Luong commune, Thanh Hoa province, at roughly 20.4149 N, 105.1725 E — inside the Pu Luong valley, on a slope above the valley floor and surrounded by bamboo and palm forest rather than open rice terraces.
The address is already written in the post-reform form. Vietnam abolished the district tier on 1 July 2025 under Resolution 202/2025/QH15, so Pu Luong is now a commune of Thanh Hoa with no district in between. Older listings still show “Ba Thuoc District”, which is why some booking sites and map apps disagree about the address.
What rooms does Asia Tropical have?
Five categories are sold on the website, and a sixth appears in the resort’s own description. The sizes below are the figures on each room’s own page.
Room | Size | Sleeps | Beds | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Tropical Paradise Premier | 30 sqm | 2 | 1 | Hillside rooms near the centre of the resort, with two balconies over the ferns, bamboo and citrus gardens; 80% wooden finishes |
Puluong Chill-Out | 35 sqm | 2 | 1 | Wooden cottages beside the forest stream, with an extra-large balcony and a bathtub facing the view |
Jungle Adventure Suite | 38 sqm | 2 | 1 | Tucked into the bamboo and palm canopy, with a private balcony and the most seclusion on the property |
Presidential Lodge | 120 sqm | 2 | 2 | A private lodge with its own spa, tea garden, electrolysis infinity pool and a natural rock terrace |
Vibes Dormitory | 120 sqm | 20 | 10 | A wooden stilt house with a thatched roof and partitioned single beds |
Every category lists the same amenities: the outdoor pool, the spa, a bar, breakfast, room service, tea and coffee, non-smoking rooms, free parking, free Wi-Fi and an airport shuttle.
Which room should you book?
For a couple who want the view and the bathtub, the Puluong Chill-Out: 35 sqm beside the stream, with the balcony and bathtub the other categories do not have. For seclusion, the Jungle Adventure Suite, which sits deepest in the bamboo. For the cheapest double, the Tropical Paradise Premier, the smallest category but with two balconies.
The Presidential Lodge is a different proposition — its own spa, tea garden and private infinity pool. We quote it for honeymoons, and for a lead couple travelling with a group staying in the other categories.
For a group of friends or a team, the Vibes Dormitory holds the whole party in one wooden stilt house. Confirm the bed count before you commit, because the resort publishes two different figures for it.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is 14:00 and check-out 12:00, published on every room page. The resort does not publish early check-in or late check-out charges, a child policy, a cancellation policy or a pet policy, so all of those need confirming when you book.
What is there to eat, drink and do on the property?
Facility | What it is |
|---|---|
Terraced Blue Pool | An electrolysis infinity pool built in cascading steps, designed after the Pu Luong rice terraces |
Bliss Spa | The wellness centre, set under tree ferns in the forest |
Puluong Emotion Restaurant | Thai and Muong cooking from the valley, with local ingredients |
Cheer Pub | The evening bar |
Cafe and yoga spaces | Listed among the resort’s amenities |
The pool is the reason to pick this resort over its neighbours. A terraced, stepped pool of this size is unique in the valley, and it photographs better than anything else in Pu Luong — which matters if you are choosing a resort for a shoot, an anniversary or a wedding party.
How does it compare with the other Pu Luong resorts?
If you want | Look at |
|---|---|
A terraced infinity pool, a spa and a private lodge with its own pool | Asia Tropical Resort & Spa |
A large resort, a 100-guest conference hall and a coach-friendly road | |
A wellness stay with a spa and a 30-guest retreat hall | |
A hillside resort with two infinity pools and a 20-bed stilt house | |
A mid-range room with a valley-facing infinity pool |
All five are in the same valley within a short drive of each other, and we quote whichever matches the trip rather than defaulting to one.
When should you come to Pu Luong?
Period | What it is like |
|---|---|
Late May to early June | The terraces are flooded and green, with the water wheels turning |
Late September to mid-October | The rice is gold and the harvest is on — the busiest weeks of the year |
November to February | Clear, cool and dry; the terraces are bare but the light is at its best |
March to April | Warm, green and quiet |
July to August | Hot, green and the wettest months; roads can be slow after heavy rain |
This resort is in the forest rather than above open terraces, so it holds up better than most in the bare months from November to February: the bamboo and ferns stay green when the rice fields are stubble.
How do you get there from Hanoi?
Pu Luong is about 170 kilometres from Hanoi, four to five hours by road depending on the route and the season. Most of our clients come on a private car transfer, usually combined with Mai Chau or on the way to Ninh Binh.
Leave Hanoi by 07:30 if you want to arrive for lunch. Leaving after 10:00 means the last hour of mountain road is driven in the afternoon haze, and you lose the best light of the day.
