A FAIRYTALE VILLAGE IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM

Can Tho Ecolodge, one of the most eco-friendly accommodation options in the Mekong Delta, champions the incredible work of the delta’s population through our accommodation, eco-tours and message. We take it as our responsibility to safeguard this millennia-old culture from the increasing threat of climate change and in doing so, hope to see the Mekong Delta thrive in modern times. We achieve this through the four principles listed above in addition to the unbeatable comfort and charm that our lodgings provide.

The 4-point vision of Ecolodge Asia is manifested beautifully at Can Tho Ecolodge. Our strong philosophy governs all of our operations including construction, nature and the preservation of local culture.

Closeness to Nature

We want our guests to live the daily backdrop of the locals. Can Tho Ecolodge gets you closer to nature in the following ways:

In both a physical and spiritual sense, guests of Can Tho Ecolodge will find themselves located at the centre of the Mekong Delta’s natural splendour. Not only is this demonstrated by our location mere walking distance from wide rivers and expansive fruit garden, but also from the natural, renewable materials that we use throughout our site. Stone, wood, palm leaves, and bamboo all come from the local environment and provide our guests with an immersive Mekong experience.

Environmental Protection

Along with the use of sustainable construction materials, our care for the environment stretches to the energy we use throughout our resolutely green accommodation in the Mekong Delta. Can Tho Ecolodge works on a diet of solar energy, natural water, and biomass energy, with efforts to keep waste to a minimum. Any by-products of our operations are recycled and safely fed back into the environment wherever possible.

Cultural Preservation

Our commitment to keeping alive the fabulous traditions of the Mekong Delta is evidenced in our construction. Wooden, coconut wall tiles and palm-leaf architecture is matched in beauty with amenities made of stone and a décor celebrating local culture, all sourced from local artisans in a bid to continue their ancient trades. The restaurant also champions the delectable cuisine of the Mekong with a huge selection of regional delicacies.

Responsible Tourism

Along with supporting local artisan businesses, Can Tho Ecolodge promotes responsible tourism through its hiring of local people from nearby villages. We take our responsibility to the Mekong locals and their homeland very seriously and encourage guests to do the same. All of our tours carry an eco-friendly message and one of them, the Green Mekong Tour, involves reforesting the delta in a small but meaningful way.
