INTRODUCTION
WELCOME TO JIVA HOA LU RETREAT
Walk in the footsteps of emperors into the majestic lore of Ninh Binh's limestone hills, where village culture comes to life in a new, beautiful, upscale retreat. Jiva Hoa Lu Retreat offers an authentic escape into nature, comfort, and luxury.
EMBARK ON A
JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY
Discover the enchantment and mythology of ancient Hoa Lu. Here, over 1000 years ago, a young boy, Dinh Bo Linh, played on the hillsides, dreaming of greatness. As the boy grew, his dreams flourished. Becoming its first emperor, under the new name Dinh Tien Hoang, he set Vietnam on a path of cultural development, shaping it into the country we know today. Whispers of this rich cultural legacy still hang in the Hoa Lu air, serving as inspiration for our retreat and providing a fascinating narrative to its luxurious atmosphere of authenticity and beauty.

Our accommodations seamlessly integrate northern architecture with top-tier fixtures and amenities. The locally inspired decor pays homage to Vietnam's rich cultural heritage, while contemporary conveniences ensure the highest level of comfort. Each stay is a memorable fusion of culture, tradition, and luxury.
