Japanese-style onsen, classical Sivananda yoga, qigong and traditional Eastern medicine, set in the hills of Ba Vì, 43 km and about 70 minutes from central Hanoi.
Ikigai was not built the way a resort is built. The four pillars below are the whole reason this retreat exists, and they are what guests take home with them.
Hot baths with minerals and natural herbs, a jacuzzi and a sauna, helping the body relax and settle into deeper rest.
Classical Sivananda yoga, meditation and qigong, guided every day by our teachers.
An Eastern medicine doctor reads your pulse, examines you and advises on daily habits. Herbal teas and cleanse programmes are designed around your constitution.
Carefully sourced ingredients, cooked to balance nutrition and flavour, nourishing the body from within.
A full day from 09:00 to 17:00, long enough for real care: eat well, rest deeply, move gently, unwind and listen to your body.
Monday to Friday only. Not available on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays or Tết.
See the Day Retreat page
Cleansing at Ikigai is not fasting, and it is not a packed timetable. It is time for the body to rest, to be cared for and to be listened to.
The body takes a break from solid food, replaced by staged drinks of organic vegetables, fruit and herbs. Alongside runs a retreat schedule of meditation, breathwork, qigong, yoga and time in nature.
Train the body, cultivate the breath, nourish the mind. Master Phúc Thành (Đại Bi Tâm Qigong) teaches Yi Jin Jing, Great Tiger qigong, Ba Duan Jin and mudra meditation in person, with a plant-based menu built around the organs.
An energy practice from Japan, done with hands resting lightly on the body. No massage, no pressure. One hour to let your life energy move again.
Available as a 60-minute private session, as Reiki Level 1 and 2, Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki courses, and as a 3-day Reiki Retreat.
See Reiki ratesOur cleanse and therapy programmes support relaxation and recovery. They do not replace medical advice or treatment, and results differ from person to person.
Every treatment begins with understanding where your body is today.
