Amazingly, a 10-minute ride from downtown Hue will take you out of the city and put you in the midst of a forest where birds chirp merrily by day and amorous frogs call out for mates by night. Pilgrimage Village is a family-managed boutique resort in a tranquil village setting where you can walk around barefoot and not feel out of place. You can choose from their poolside huts, bungalows and villas, with all of them luxuriously finished with timber flooring and rustic hardwood furniture including four-poster beds.

Vedana Spa, which resembles a Zen garden, plays a central role in the resort offering sanctuary and relief to tired pilgrims with a host of treatments designed to nurture the mind, body and spirit. Visitors going to the spa around sunset when it is lighted up, usually take a minute or two to savour the visual treat before walking along the wooden platform to the impressive spa entrance which is surrounded by water ponds. Besides the "romance" packages for couples and the standard massages and scrubs, they have a yoga and meditation zone. For a little out of the ordinary, you may try the deep tissue back treatment with "cupping" where they set your back on fire before giving you a good rub. Scary as it may sound, there is no pain, not a single hair is singed and the treatment is supposed to relieve muscle tension. | www.vedanaresorts.com
