Life Resorts to Open in Ninh Binh

Life Resorts will bring luxury travel to the Northern Vietnamese town of Ninh Binh. The new wellness village is designed to mimic a small, traditional village complete with “cottages, stone houses and cobbled streets.” Accommodation in the new resort will consist of 30 deluxe cottages and 10 two-story stone houses.

Ninh Binh is renowned for the beautiful landscape at nearby Tam Coc, often called “inland Ha Long Bay,” The sweeping landscape there is full of limestone karst formations creating sharp crevices and a long winding river. Ninh Binh is also in close proximity to Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s capital during the late 10th and early 11th centuries, and the home of fantastic temples and legendary Phat Diem Cathedral.

The Life Wellness Resort is scheduled to open its doors in August 2008.
