Auko Eco-Wellness Lodges debuts in Phong Nha

Set to open in Q3, 2026, aiming to set a new expression of regenerative hospitality in Southeast Asia.

Set along the Son River and by the limestone peaks of Phong Nha–Ke Bang UNESCO World Heritage Site, Auko Eco-Wellness Lodges is set to open in Q3, 2026 as a new expression of regenerative hospitality in Southeast Asia. 

Developed in alignment with IFC’s Building Resilience Index (BRI), the retreat features elevated bamboo bridges rising above historic flood levels, glamping structures said to adapt to water movement, and architecture shaped from reclaimed timber and ventilated platforms. The 30 eco tented lodges are nestled across the terrain in clusters, each framed by a canopy of indigenous planting.

Auko Eco-wellness Lodges offers all-inclusive wellness programs, nature-based adventure, 1 restaurant with forest-to-table dining (Harvest table full board), daily adventure activity, forest rituals, and community-rooted cultural experiences.

"Sustainability and wellbeing come hand in hand; and at Auko, our alignment is to bring a regenerative hospitality model with wellbeing at the core of everything we do. For the land, and for the people who visit it", says Michelle Ford, Founder of Lumina Wellbeing, Wellness Hospitality Operator of Auko.

At the heart of this approach is Lumina Wellbeing, said to offer regenerative journeys shaped by the wild landscape of Phong Nha.
