An ancient Vietnamese Village is set up on the Hon Tam Island. The village was built by transferring Ancient Houses some of which are more than 200 years old. This walk back to history displays ancient artifacts and traditional handicrafts.

The Ancient Village displays cloth weaving, pottery, wood carving, paintings, tea and wine making all with the objective of reviving heritage traditions. Also available are traditional and herbal food and beverages.

The village handicrafts which are designed and crafted on site are produced by villagers who have inherited this art and craft over the ages. The craftsman comes from various regions of Vietnam.

The village provides you the opportunity to join and learn the craft and even purchase them on site.

Our team of Chefs offers a Vietnamese Gastronomy Menu in this rustic village. This will be an ideal experience with traditional music, gastronomy, art dance and culture.
