Step into rustic bliss at this peaceful resort, leaving worries firmly at the door. Once a gallery itself, art is everywhere including the over-sized stone birds who seem to drink from the indigo pool. Rest is a priority in this leafy corner of Hue, and the Vedanā Spa keeps the herbal tea flowing and the body scrubs in full force. A scenic shuttle into town opens up a world of history to discover - after all, this is the spiritual heart of Vietnam. Drift off to sleep each evening after reading the handwritten story left on your pillow.
The rooms at the village are a tad more contemporary-looking than the colonnaded villas, which have a more authentic style. Decorated with painted scenes and bright cushions, each comes with a large bed, lounge area and simple but well-appointed bathroom. The interiors have a muted colour scheme with a mix of shiny wood panels and facebrick walls. The Traditional Vietnamese House has a mirror-smooth infinity pool, furnished deck, a dining room, kitchen and outdoor shower in a private garden. Other amenities include a desk, TV and minibar.
The spa's Sanskrit name, Vedanā, translates as 'sensation', so expect to feel renewed after a green tea body scrub, soak in the jacuzzi or having your chakras balanced.
Even if you're not celebrating your nuptials, a stay in one of the honeymoon bungalows kicks the luxury levels up a notch - and it's worth it for the heavenly bathtub.
Pilgrimage Village is a little too far from Hue for an quick walk into town but a complimentary shuttle ride makes sightseeing easier.
