Away from the hustle and bustle of urban life, Topas Ecolodge is hidden in a breathtaking mountain peak deep within the Hoang Lien Son National Park. To reach this beautiful place, you must embark on a challenging journey, but it’s incredibly worth it. For me, this is the most worthwhile destination in Sapa because it still preserves the untouched and rustic beauty of this region without being affected by human development.
Upon arriving at the resort, I couldn’t help but be amazed by beauty nature of the mountains and endless terraced rice fields.
Each bungalow is perched gracefully on the hillside, constructed with granite stone walls and thatched roofs, seamlessly blending into the natural landscape. Topas resembles a picturesque Northern European village amidst the vast Northwest.
The bungalows are designed in a minimalist Northern European style, predominantly using materials like granite stone and leafy wood, creating a simple and rustic ambiance. With a focus on sustainable and eco-friendly tourism, you won’t find any plastic or nylon materials in the rooms. Moreover, there is no
Wi-Fi available in the rooms, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of this place.
If you’re someone who enjoys the lavish and opulent experiences offered by 5-star hotels, then the accommodations here may leave you feeling a bit different because it offers a completely different style. I believe that opinions about the rooms here will vary depending on individual preferences.
Whether you choose a Deluxe room or the exclusive Pool Villa, you’ll be treated to awe-inspiring views from your private balcony. Every corner of Topas Sapa boasts vistas of lush mountain forests and terraced fields, creating a sense of tranquility that’s truly unparalleled. My family rented all 6 Deluxe rooms and 1 Pool Villa, and every room had its own unique and beautiful view.
The view from the Pool Villa is particularly special. This area is located at the front of the hotel lobby and is slightly further from the resort’s main center.
One of the standout features of Topas is its two infinity heated pools surrounded by the majestic mountain scenery.
From 3-4 pm, a musician plays the flute around the restaurant and pool area in this picturesque setting.
The restaurant has a unique design with a Scandinavian wood style that creates a cozy and elegant atmosphere. I was extremely impressed with the attentive and friendly service of the staff here; everyone was ready to assist to ensure that my family and I had the best experience.
The quality of the food here exceeded my expectations. Each dish was delicately prepared and delicious. The combination of flavors that I had never tried before provided a truly unique dining experience. I especially appreciated how they used natural ingredients to create unique dishes.

In th afternoon, I sat on the restaurant’s window terrace, sipping a hot latte and reading a book.
Sunsets in Sapa are something else. The golden sunlight filtering through the tall mountain peaks, blending with the evening mist, creates a truly poetic natural scene.
One thing I highly valued was that the staff here are mostly from the local ethnic groups living in the nearby area. They are all very friendly and warm-hearted. I truly cherish these smiles.
Since my Aunt stayed at the Pool Villa, this talented driver would take her down to the dining area for every meal.
One thing is for sure; I will return to this beautiful and magical place.
This is AMAZING! 🌄
