Eco Retreat - a comprehensive urban area of therapy, recovery and regeneration.
Everyone needs a retreat.
The rapid urbanization, high density urbanization, hectic pace of life and current issues are the reasons why people gradually face many disruptions, loss of social and family connections, and sometimes loss of connection with themselves.
Modern society is full of boxes passing each other, people go from building to car just to keep up with the life around them. Many people spend very little time outdoors each week. At the same time, the light that each person is exposed to every day is blue light, the light from phone screens and technological devices, ... creating symptoms of technostress - stress due to technology.
Statistics from the Ministry of Health also warn that in 2023, Vietnam will have up to 14 million people with mental disorders, 42% of Vietnamese workers are often stressed and this number is constantly increasing. The rate of people with depression, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases is getting younger, for every 3 people over 25 years old, at least 1 person is at risk of cardiovascular disease.
A living environment that helps heal - restore - regenerate is what many people are looking for.
Mental and health issues in daily life are urging people to return to nature to be listened to, soothed and return to themselves, creating the need for retreat. Just type "retreat" on Google, in 0.32 seconds, 457 million results will appear. Retreat services have also become a favorite health therapy in Vietnam but in a passive loop.
When people have health and mental problems, they seek this method to temporarily solve the external symptoms. After a quick retreat, when returning to face the pressure, stress and constant impacts of life, many people can quickly feel exhausted and empty.
So, is active retreat possible, is daily retreat possible? Can everyone retreat in their own way?
According to health experts, retreat is not about leaving noisy places, nor running away from pressure, but it is a pause to turn off the outside noise, turn on the mode to listen to the sounds of oneself, awaken the 6 senses. An effective retreat is a circle of therapy - recovery - regeneration with two important elements: nature and active therapies such as spa therapy, meditation, detox, yoga or hot mineral springs.
Eco Retreat - a project that helps with comprehensive therapy, recovery and regeneration
Eco Retreat in the West of Ho Chi Minh City, only 30 minutes drive from District 1 center.
Continuing the journey of sustainable real estate development, bringing to the community of residents a rich life under the canopy of nature: health, green, positive emotions, love and happy smiles, in 2025, the founder of Ecopark developed Eco Retreat in the West of Ho Chi Minh City, only 30 minutes drive from the center of District 1.
Eco Retreat bears the mark of a therapeutic, restorative, and regenerative forest design with 80% retreat therapy from nature, 20% are active retreat therapies to supplement such as: mineral baths, meditation, yoga, spa therapy, nutritional counseling, psychological counseling.
This ratio at high-end retreat resorts is 50% - 50%, and for daily living environments, a ratio of 80% natural therapies will help customers have convenient and sustainable retreat activities every day.
55% of Eco Retreat area is dedicated to landscaping.
The DNA of every project of the founder of Ecopark has the same genetic code: the largest area belongs to the landscape, the second largest area belongs to the infrastructure, the smallest area belongs to the housing project. Eco Retreat is no exception, with the planning of 80% of the retreat impact coming from nature, the area for landscape accounts for 55%, the infrastructure area accounts for 25.5% and only 19.5% is for the construction area of the housing project.
Thus, the owner of Eco Retreat can easily find his own retreat forest thanks to the golden ratio: buy 1 but enjoy a common space 4-5 times larger. In parallel, there is a comprehensive retreat ecosystem following the retreat circle model - a continuous circle of spaces and 20 retreat themes covering 50 hectares in the core area.
8km forest bathing trail at Eco Retreat.
The highlight of the retreat circle at Eco Retreat is the 8km forest bathing route, 1.5 times longer than the standard therapeutic forest path according to Shinrin-yoku forest bathing therapy (Japan). Shinrin-yoku forest bathing therapy is a method of immersing oneself in nature, introduced by the Japanese Government into the national health program in 1982. After that, this method was strongly welcomed in the world.
Statistics from Canada's national nature connection program also show that by 2023, health care providers will prescribe "30,000 nature prescriptions" per month, using walks in the woods to open the senses.
The 12-hectare Swan Lake at Eco Retreat is larger than Hoan Kiem Lake (11 hectares).
Another plus point at Eco Retreat is the therapeutic forest by the lake, where the water embraces the deep green forest. According to statistics, every 1cm3 of air near the water surface will give up to 100,000 negative ions. Just 30 minutes of walking on the negative ion path will help improve the respiratory tract, stimulating happy hormones for residents.
The "treatment menu" becomes more interesting with the fresh scent of 4 million trees, flowers and 8 layers of plants. The scent of medicinal herbs, herbs and Phytoncide (essential oils secreted from plants) is a natural antibiotic that helps the body boost the immune system.
Children's activity garden at Eco Retreat.
For the retreat to be effective, including therapy - recovery - regeneration, the founder of Ecopark has planned 20 retreat gardens interspersed between the subdivisions. At Eco Retreat, children and teenagers have their own retreat space with a sports garden, camping garden, experience garden, reading garden, etc.
Hot springs at Clubhouse Eco Retreat.
Adults and seniors at Eco Retreat will retreat to the meditation garden, chess garden, patience garden or therapeutic onsen hot spring in the Clubhouse area. Studies have shown that onsen bathing should be done after forest bathing to achieve the best results. The Eco Bazaar area, which first appeared with a unique shopping space from exclusive items combined with dining, entertainment, etc., is also an attractive destination for residents.
"Thousands of tired and stressed people are beginning to realize that going to nature is returning home. In every walk with nature, you will receive more than what you seek", John Muir (California) - One of the greatest figures in American history once shared.
