Welcome to Lan Homestay
Your Authentic Retreat in Viet Hai Village, Cat Ba National Park
Escape to one of the most peaceful and authentic places on Cat Ba Island. Tucked away in the heart of Viet Hai Ancient Village, deep inside Cat Ba National Park, Lan Homestay offers a unique opportunity to experience the untouched beauty of the UNESCO Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve. Surrounded by ancient rainforest, dramatic limestone mountains, and quiet village life, our eco-friendly homestay is the perfect base for exploring Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba National Park, and the hidden trails of one of Vietnam’s most remarkable island destinations.
Unlike hotels in Cat Ba Town, Lan Homestay is located in a remote village accessible only by bicycle, hiking trail, or boat, allowing guests to truly disconnect from the modern world. Wake to birdsong instead of traffic, breathe the fresh mountain air, and experience the warm hospitality of a traditional Vietnamese village that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
Whether you’re joining one of our Lan Ha Bay kayaking tours, Hike to Hai Quan (Navy) Peak for breathtaking panoramic views, cycling through the national park, or simply looking for a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, Lan Homestay provides an unforgettable experience where comfort, culture, and adventure come together.
