Imani Eco Sky Lodge — Hotel in Sơn La Province

An incredibly unique homestay experience in Vietnam. Van speaks excellent English, and runs a self-sufficient farm in the mountains. The guesthouse and outhouse are rustic, but very tastefully decorated.

You should expect rural living standards; there will be insects in your guesthouse, you will use a composting toilet, and a bucket shower. None of this takes away from the experience however, but instead, adds charm to your stay if you’re mentally prepared for it.

If you plan on riding a motorcycle, do not underestimate the difficulty of the dirt path, especially if it has rained recently. A hike up is strongly encouraged, unless you have riding experience comparable to a local. Explore options to leave your motorcycle at the foot of the hill, and instead enjoy the moderate hike up to the lodge.

We stayed for 2 days and 2 nights. Food is served at the homestay or you can bring it by your own. The owner - Van has 2 receptionists: Muối & Tiêu who have great hospitality and very smart. Tiêu is a pregnant lady and I definitely coming back to visit her babies then explore more of this area. It’s suitable for adventurers, could be couples or group of friends or solo...

An absolutely incredible experience that I recommend you to have it you're in the area! The place is really high up in the mountains, you go through the indigenous villages to the get there and finish with a 30 minutes hike. Once you're up there, nothing but silence and incredible view on the valley. The place has everything you need, even hot water and the host will cook you incredibly diner with garden vegetables

A 10/10 experience! ✨

Side note, if it's raining, absolutely avoid going there by motorbike, park it at the...
