For An Lam Retreats Saigon River, this is not a new thing. Right from the first day of establishment in 2010, when the market was not yet familiar with the concept of green development, the resort chose a different journey. Every decision, from construction materials to operation, is based on the "sustainable circle" model inspired by the natural cycle.

"Natural Circle" revolves around indigenous design and materials

When An Lam started building the first villas, they chose wood, stone, rattan and ceramics not only to create a rustic look, but also to let each space breathe with the landscape. Solar energy is used to provide hot water combined with a smart control system to help minimize the impact on the environment. At Water Bar, water is filtered right in the resort and served in reusable glass bottles. A small habit but enough to replace thousands of plastic bottles every year.

The villas here are all designed using environmentally friendly materials, creating a feeling of being immersed in nature.

In a resort industry increasingly pressured to conserve resources, putting nature at the forefront is more than just an aesthetic. It’s a long-term strategy that helps An Lam maintain a balance between comfort and responsibility.

"Experience Circle" encourages green lifestyle practices

From the organic garden, the green philosophy has become part of the lifestyle here. The vegetable garden contributes to providing fresh food for the resort, combined with carefully selected local ingredients. All blend together to create a culinary journey connected with nature, pure and sustainable. Leftover food is returned to nourish the soil. Each meal is therefore not only delicious but also carries the sweetness of originality and natural circulation.

The farm-to-table model preserves the fresh flavors and natural closeness in every dish.

The farm-to-table model with seasonal menus also allows visitors to experience the changes of the land and sky through each dish, keeping the fresh and familiar flavors. In that simplicity lies a larger story: eating can be a humane act with nature.

Regen Lab continues that journey by turning sustainability into an experience through adherence to the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Old plastic bottles become hanging gardens, old bed sheets become cloth bags. Children are excited to learn how to recycle, adults find joy in small actions. Regen Lab is therefore not just an activity in the resort, but a place to sow the seeds of green living habits that can follow visitors back to their daily lives.

"Community Circle" shares lasting connection values

From the very beginning, An Lam has chosen to accompany the local community. Vegetables, seafood, and handicrafts all come from the hands of farmers and artisans around the area. Scented candles or simple soaps not only create experiences but also carry a story of sharing, as all profits are sent to Tu Tam Shelter to care for orphans and lonely elderly people.

At An Lam, each individual joins hands to preserve the fresh green space, nurturing and spreading the spirit of sustainable living.

This connection goes beyond just making a living. It extends to a way of life, and a stay at An Lam means nurturing holistic health. Amidst the pristine natural surroundings, guests can find balance through yoga, meditation, spa treatments, or hands-on classes like making coconut oil and recycled soap.

Health care and treatment programs bring many practical values, contributing to improving physical fitness and healthy living awareness for the community.
