The seafood here is especially famous, but even the basics of rice and fruits find new, more complex flavours in this hugely productive region. A choice on indoor or outdoor sitting doesn’t affect the quality of delectable regional cuisine, produced from sustainable produce which supports the local farmers and vendors in the region.

Shaded by stretching coconut trees and palm-leaf parasols, the swimming pool at the Can Tho Ecolodge shimmers invitingly amongst the greenery of the garden. Take a dip into the cool crisp waters, or alternatively recline around the borders with a cocktail amongst the tropics. Located by the swimming pool stands the Pool Bar, serving a fantastic variety of drinks to enjoy under the shady thatched roof. Additionally, the bar menu offers up local snacks to keep guests satisfied throughout their stay at the pool.

The Mekong Delta offers its verdant jungle and alluring culture to those willing to explore the vast landscape. The Can Tho Ecolodge encourages guests to explore this sun-dappled paradise, whether on a trekking excursion or boarding a vessel to travel the mystifying waters. Can Rang floating market heads out onto the river and explores the fascinating scene available here, before heading to a nearby village to learn of the processes that go into creating rice noodles – a staple of the Vietnamese diet. There are bicycles that are free to use for all guests, allowing you to get closer to nature. Alternatively, private workshops help to bridge the gap between luxury holiday and local experience. Guests looking to explore the ways of the Mekong Delta’s residents can do so through any of the private workshops including massage therapy, wood-carving and seasonal farming.

The Mekong Delta is one of the most fertile and productive regions for rice, fruit and seafood on our planet, but changes in climate are driving people from fields, rivers and orchards and causing a shortage of much-needed food. Due to this, sustainability is a value cemented in the core of the Can Tho Ecolodges brand values. Can Tho Ecolodge promotes responsible tourism through by hiring staff from nearby villages that border the lodge. Wooden, coconut wall tiles and palm-leaf architecture are matched beautifully with amenities made of stone and a décor celebrating local culture, all sourced from local artisans in a bid to continue ancient trades and source profit back into the area.

Along with supporting local artisan businesses, Can Tho Ecolodge promotes responsible tourism through its hiring of local people from nearby villages. They take our responsibility to the Mekong locals and their homeland very seriously and encourage guests to do the same. All of our tours carry an eco-friendly message and one of them, the Green Mekong Tour, involves reforesting the delta in a small but meaningful way. The Ecolodge is powered on a diet of solar energy, natural water, and biomass energy, with efforts to keep waste to a minimum. Any by-products of the operations are recycled and safely fed back into the environment wherever possible. The lodge takes responsibility for the Mekong locals and their homeland very seriously, and encourages guests to do the same in a warm and welcoming manner.
