Mai Chau, Northern Vietnam

Avana Retreat

Tucked into the mountains north of Hanoi — the most coherent retreat for experiencing the real northern Vietnam far from the coastal circuit.

Best season October to April — the dry season brings clear mountain mornings and good visibility. In September the rice fields are at their greenest, though rain is possible.

Kerala & South India

CGH Earth

A hotel group that understands southern India is meant to be experienced, not merely visited — the most considered way to move through Kerala and its neighbouring regions.

Best season October to March — outside the monsoon. November to February is the quietest and most comfortable period for Kerala.

Shillim, Pune District

Dharana at Shillim

Dharana at Shillim is not a wellness hotel that happens to be in the mountains — the Sahyadri landscape is the programme. An Ayurveda and yoga retreat anchored in a natural setting that is rare in India.

Best season October to March. The monsoon (June to September) brings intense rainfall and a dramatic landscape — compelling for nature-oriented guests but climatically demanding.
