Alba Wellness Resort is a Vietnamese countryside property built on the very birthplace of a natural hot spring discovered since 1928 under the foot of Truong Son Mountains. Located 30km north of Hue City, this newly opened resort is nestled in a tranquil land cradled by tropical forest, hot & cold streams and a local lifestyle rich in Hue traditions.
Its a place blessed by nature. Rivers have carved out the valley and water naturally springs from the earth in warm wells. That is why FVA strives for transferring the place’s magic into reality, through a series of wellness treatments and therapeutic activities.

We proposed the master plan to restore the ancient hotel & spa center while developed additional facilities and activities area including restaurant & bar, onsen, yoga center, swimming pool, and exclusive areas such as Alba farm, Alba craft village, etc.

We worked with an expert Japanese architect in order to deliver a full Japanese onsen experience while harnessing the fusion of Japanese and Vietnamese into the place’s architecture.

All architecture and interior design idea are based upon the concept of five Asian’s natural elements: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. Moreover, a palette of regional wood, bamboo, palm, stone and textiles comes in variety of finishes to celebrate local resources and traditions.

Facilities are set in separate "wings" of the resort that wrap around an onsen spa at the centre of the site. The building's shape and therefore the experience of the spa are shaped by the water source. As customer progress through the stages of bathing, they are offered shifting views across the changing landscape. Such renewing experience makes the resort calming but no where near dull.

When the daily routine tires you out and you need a sweet escape. Just set your date and pack your stuffs to Alba Wellness Resort. We believe our design should cater you perfectly and you will come back with mindfulness and a healthy body.
