Since then, the land has been nurtured and reforested to revitalize its natural beauty. Thirty-six villas now perch on the mountainside, with waterfall, rice field, and dense forest as a backdrop.
Craftsmen from three minority groups in Mai Chau taught us how to make earth-wall, weave rattan ceilings, and roof the villas with palm leaves. With their contribution, our villas have the best condition in any season of the year, cool in summer and warm in winter.
1 traditional Thai stilt house
3 minority groups live in the surrounding
4 infinity, heated pools
10 hectares were reforested
15 hectares is Avana's total acreage
98% Avana staff are local people
Ninety-eight percent of Avana staff are ethnic people whose former incomes came mainly from two rice cultivations in the fields. They came to Avana with limited education and no knowledge of hospitality and tourism but had an aspiration to diversify and improve their ability to earn a living.
We provided free training programs to help them succeed. They have welcomed the opportunity to work and build careers here in their beloved homeland and are now an integral part of the Avana family.
