The 57 room resort, restaurant and spa set in the rural highlands of Dalat, Vietnam comprises seventeen fully restored French colonial villas each originally constructed between the 1920's and 1930's. The villas retain the unique personalities of their original owners while being lovingly restored to their former glory, with all care taken to preserve original design, décor and charm. Set in the Central Vietnam highland city of Dalat, the region was popularised by French occupation at the turn of the 20th century. Alexandre Yersin, a contemporary of the famed Louis Pasteur discovered and pioneered the location that is now known as Dalat in approximately 1897. With the cool European climate (the area sits at an altitude of 1500 metres above sea level) and the rolling mountainous, pine treed terrain, Dalat became the summer hill-station retreat for royalty and high society. Sited on approximately 35 acres of suburban parkland that forms its own unique compound, the area Evason Ana Mandara Villas Dalat occupies was originally known as the 'Bellevue Quarter', a nod to the rich French influence. Striking views of the surrounding town, countryside and flourishing vegetable fields abound from all areas of the gently sloping hillside property. Of the seventeen villas on site, fifteen have been converted into fully serviced hotel accommodations with the remaining two villas being converted into our Restaurant and Six Senses Spa, respectively.
A total of 57 keys spread between fifteen individual, original French colonial villas. Rooms are independently furnished and are true to their original design and décor. Each villa comprises between three and five en-suited rooms, and includes the following shared areas for residential guests: Lounge area and open fireplace Dining room Bar & modest wine cellar Library Outdoor terrace and sitting area Kitchen and pantry An individual kitchen has been restored for each villa, where our hosts will attend to all requests - from breakfast through to privately arranged 'In Villa 'dining. A feature of each Villa is the surrounding landscaped areas and expansive views of local urban life and farming countryside. Room types range from Villa Rooms and Villa Studios through to Villa Suites. We also offer specially dedicated Villa Spa Suites for that extra pampering. For something truly unique, ask about The Bellevue Suite - with a breathtaking balcony and 270 degree views to match, or The Spa Villa - a fully contained originally restored chateau, complete with spa treatment facilities and private service host. As each room has been individually restored to the original design, room sizes and positioning vary from villa to villa. The information below is provided in a general format.

Restaurants Our Restaurant Villa at 9 Le Lai Street Housed within what must be one of the most impressive villas onsite, are the three food and beverage concepts of Evason Ana Mandara Villas Dalat. Nine is our signature restaurant. Best described as 'fine dining with the top button undone 'the restaurant serves modern European inspired cuisine, a stellar wine list and professional service within a heritage setting. There are daily specials and also a Degustation menu is frequently offered. Catering only for 30 guests, nine is worthy of advanced reservations. A private dining room for up to 10 guests is also available. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Wine Bar at nine is a classic take on a European 'hole in the wall 'wine bar. Located above nine, this small intimate space serves a new world tapas menu and a great selection of wine by the glass. Two large communal dining tables capture attention within a cosy, dark wooden frame design. Our two walk in wine cellars capture attention, not just for their contents; while the small balcony tables are a must at sunset - but we suggest that you arrive early! Open from midday until midnight daily. Our informal café The Courtyard has been created underneath the large pine trees to the rear of 9 Le Lai Street - forming a row of large umbrellas with views of the surrounding countryside. The Courtyard is also the place for our cooking demonstrations, with 9 Le Lai Street's kitchen opening through an ingenious awning and allowing full view of our culinary brigade at work. This is a great place during the daytime for a coffee and a sandwich, or just a quick fresh and healthy juice before heading to the Six Senses Spa or discovering personal treasures in our retail store. Open from 10am until 6pm daily. Our Chef du Cuisine and General Manager have both taken great lengths to source as much locally produced sustainable and preferably organic, fruit, vegetables and other produce as possible in order to bring a combination of authentic and healthy choices for 9 Le Lai Street's various menus. With one of the best wine lists in Vietnam, Evason Ana Mandara Villas Dalat is a world class food & beverage destination.
