P’apiu Resort: A Unique Experience in Every Villa
At P’apiu Resort every stay is defined by the unmatched exclusivity and artistic individuality of its five villas. The rooms at this Ha Giang resort are not just places to sleep, they are experiential spaces designed to awaken emotion, spark reflection, and celebrate the different stages and expressions of love. Each of P’apiu’s 5 villas is situated in a distinct natural setting, from hilltop perches to jungle craters, offering guests sweeping views, absolute privacy, and immersive design elements inspired by the local terrain and heritage. From earthen architecture to underground hideaways, every villa brings something extraordinary to the table. The Fluffy, for instance, sits atop the mountain, featuring a wooden design reminiscent of the Tày people’s stilt houses (a local ethnic group). Panoramic glass windows at this Ha Giang resort open out to the breathtaking scenery of the hills and mountains that surround P’apiu, while a hot tub nestled within nature offers a private spa-like experience. In contrast, the villa named The Mellow is constructed entirely of rammed earth and includes an underground bathroom, an outdoor jacuzzi hot tub, and a design that feels at once grounded and whimsical. The villa named Layla Qays is Vietnam’s first underground villa. This villa is an emotional time capsule, a hidden museum of love filled with vibrant color, a wine cellar, a private cinema, and over 600 locked boxes for mementos. Then there are the twin alpine-style Ravine villas: Ravine Sunrise and Ravine Sunset. Ravine Sunrise features a large fireplace, intricate wood carvings, and floor-to-ceiling glass that invites the morning light into every corner. Ravine Sunset at P’ Apiu resort, meanwhile, offers the perfect setting for sipping tea while watching the sun dip behind the hills, its swing set and cozy interior creating a dreamscape of romance and retreat. Each villa is equipped with its own sauna, large bedrooms with king-sized beds, and spacious living areas, and some can accommodate extra guests. At the P’apiu resort Ha Giang, the villas not only reflect refined aesthetics but also embody the soulful character of the land and people that brought them to life.
