EVASON GOES DALAT

PEERAWAT JARIYASOMBAT

The Evason brand of Six Senses Resorts & Spas has made a unique addition to its line up of properties. It comprises 19 French colonial-style villas, most of which were built early 20th century overlooking the picturesque highland city of Dalat in Vietnam.

Every villa of the Evason Ana Mandara is architecturally different, most often reflecting the French locale from which the individual settler originated. Initially, five villas comprising 19 luxurious suites, studios and rooms will be introduced.

With the completion of phase two in April, there will be 40 accommodations. The third phase will be launched in June and when fully completed it will have a total of 70 accommodations.
