Our Story

Mr. Trịnh Phúc Mãn, Founder of Mai Chau Onsen Retreat, demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination when facing adversity as his Monkey Resort island was compelled to close. His unwavering commitment and innovative spirit paved the way for the creation of the serene and thriving Mai Chau Onsen Retreat, a testament to his enduring vision.

His journey took a new turn when he first set foot in Mai Chau and instantly fell in love with Xam Khoe Village. The village’s enchanting rice paddy fields and the presence of a unique natural hot spring captured his heart and inspired the creation of Mai Chau Onsen Retreat.
