Not just an overnight stay, but an experience.
Ha Giang Aya Lodge
A truly local stay with western comfort
Welcome to our lodge
Deep in the mountains of Ha Giang, far from mass tourism, we built Ha Giang Aya Lodge — a place where local life and comfort come together. Set in an authentic ethnic minority village, our lodge was created to give travelers a genuine connection to the people and landscapes of northern Vietnam.
Together with the local community, we’ve built more than a place to stay. It’s a way to experience Ha Giang at its purest — surrounded by mountains, markets, and warm hospitality, where tourism directly supports the people who call this region home.
