Chay Lap Farmstay
A great base for exploring Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
Located near the entrance to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, Chay Lap Farmstay is a comfortable base from which to explore this beautiful region of Vietnam. Given Chay Lap Farmstay’s rural setting, the resort pays special attention to sustainability practices and community enrichment, implementing recycling and employing local people.
The 39 rooms, housed within snug bungalows and cottages, with some encompassing pinewood barrelled ceilings, rest at the base of towering limestone karsts surrounded by landscaped gardens and farm fields. Natural design elements along with light and airy interiors and large windows allow guests to feel immersed in the exterior environment.
At the heart of this sanctuary is the Expedition Restaurant, a welcoming space, with a variety of seating options, and a menu focused on local cuisine, as well as international dishes. Re-energising can also be sought at the on-site spa, which features individual sauna boxes set among the tropical grounds. After a day of adventuring in the park and trekking to the hidden caves and grottoes, guests can also enjoy massages, with oils created from the gardens.
To further experience the natural splendour of the area, guests staying at the resort have access to a water sports centre, offering kayaking, jet skiing and boat cruises. Bike rental is free, and the expansive outdoor pool provides the perfect tonic for concluding a day of activities.

Places to combine Chay Lap Farmstay with
Hanoi
La Siesta Premium Hang Be Hotel stands as a graceful symbol of Hanoi’s rich history and evolving modernity. Located in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, the hotel’s striking white façade overlooks Hang Be Street, once a bustling hub for trading be or wooden boats. Today, this street pulses with life, offering a tapestry of cafés, artisan shops, restaurants and traditional market stalls.
Inside the hotel, La Siesta Premium Hang Be is a sanctuary of elegance. The interior exudes a calm sophistication, with a neutral colour palette of soft creams and warm accents, enhanced by thoughtful lighting that creates a serene atmosphere. Polished wood, elegant period furnishings and traditional motifs offer a sense of heritage, while modern touches ensure comfort and luxury at every turn. Each room is designed with comfort and tranquillity in mind, featuring plush furnishings, elegant décor and modern amenities to make guests feel at home.
For a truly memorable dining experience, ascend to Cloud Nine, the hotel’s restaurant. Situated on the 9th floor and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, Cloud Nine offers panoramic views that sweep across Hanoi’s storied rooftops, the shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake and the serene Red River. The restaurant’s name, inspired by the phrase “on cloud nine,” encapsulates the bliss you’ll feel as you gaze out over the city and savour exquisitely prepared dishes. Sunlight floods the space during the day, while in the evening, the city’s lights twinkle beneath you, enhancing the sense of floating above Hanoi’s streets.
For guests who prefer dining in privacy, the hotel’s in-room dining service brings the best of Cloud Nine’s menu to your door, allowing you to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of your own space. Meanwhile, the hotel’s La Spa offers a serene retreat where you can rejuvenate body and mind with a range of luxurious treatments.
