Balava
Mr Nguyen Cong Chinh grew up in the bustling city of Saigon but found himself drawn to the peaceful beauty of Da Lat. In 2019, during a work trip, he came across a serene valley surrounded by lush pine forests. Captivated by its untouched charm, he decided to turn it into a special retreat where visitors could reconnect with nature and find balance. That’s how Balava—short for Balance Valley—was born in 2023. Beyond creating a peaceful getaway, Mr Chinh also supports the local community by providing jobs for ethnic minority residents in Lac Duong and organising social initiatives like "A Meal for Children," bringing warm meals and gifts to struggling schools in Lam Dong.
