Topas Ecolodge is based on ecological principles. Here are a few of them.

    * We use solar technology to supply every lodge with energy and hot water
    * We have implemented a wastewater facility to avoid pollution of the local area
    * We employ local people and use local products and goods in order to bring economic benefits to the local community

Topas Ecolodge has been constructed by local builders, skilled architects and experienced trades-people. Staffing the Lodge with local people offers them opportunities for employment throughout the year.
At Topas Ecolodge we want every guest to have the perfect surroundings for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Whether you prefer the quiet life of the lodge or wish to join more active pursuits such as trekking, bicycling in the local area - we'll have something for you.
Topas Ecolodge is the only one of its kind in Vietnam, offering accommodation to individuals as well as to larger groups of families, friends or colleagues

The bungalows

All the 25 bungalows are built of natural materials such as white granite and golden hardwood, and each bungalow has its own private balcony with a magnificent view. The interior design is invitingly pleasant but simple, without air-conditioners, TV or Mini bars. All bungalows have double or twin beds and a private bathroom. Lighting and warm water are provided by the bungalow's own solar energy panel
 
The Restaurant

The restaurant is an old traditional Tay stilt house. It was carefully moved piece by piece from its original site and reassembled at the lodge with more equipment to meet modern standards while respecting its original and historical qualities. All the meals are served in the lodge’s restaurant. The food is served either as a set menu or buffet. It’s all Vietnamese food cooked and served by minority people from the surrounding villages
