Vietnam is the perfect location for a meditative holiday with its lush landscapes and remarkable landmarks. There are plenty of places to visit in Vietnam, such as The Marble Mountains, Cu Chi Tunnel, UNESCO sites, and beautiful beaches.

Vietnam’s major cities such as Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi offer a vibrant atmosphere. Other popular locations such as Hoi An, Ha Long Bay, and Da Nang give us a peek into the country’s quieter side. Vietnam won’t be too hard on your pockets either, and according to The Economic Times, Vietjet offers snap deals on routes from India, so keep your eyes peeled!

If you are looking for a place to reconnect with yourself, check out this list of top meditation retreats in Vietnam.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 20, 2025.

2. Vipassana Meditation Center

Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing

If physical exercise helps develop bodily health, Vipassana establishes a healthy mind. Vipassana, which translates to “see things as they really are,” is an ancient technique of meditation that originated in India and comes from the original principles of Buddha. This mindfulness meditation aims to eradicate mental impurities and achieve enlightenment through disciplined attention to physical sensations.

The Vipassana technique in Vietnam is offered through residential courses that usually last for about 10 days to fully experience its beneficial results, so I’m sure you can take it up as a wellness holiday. During this period, participants follow prescribed methods and training to calm the mind. It then wraps up with a meditation of kindness and goodwill towards all. Check out their website for updated locations of their meditation centers and teachers.

Trúc Lâm Monastery is a serene Buddhist temple situated in the scenic highlands of Vietnam, just outside Đà Lạt’s city centre. Built in the 1990s, the temple complex is set amidst 23.3 hectares (57.58 acres) of lush forests and tranquil gardens, offering visitors a peaceful and meditative atmosphere. It features oriental Vietnamese architecture and has several smaller shrines and pagodas throughout the grounds.

This Buddhist retreat in Vietnam is a part of Truc Lam Buddhist Zen, which emphasizes the practice of meditation as a means of achieving spiritual enlightenment. It is a popular destination not only for meditation but also for tourists and pilgrims seeking a peaceful retreat. Seems to me like a great spot to immerse yourself in the local culture while taking that wellness holiday.

10. Float Hanoi, Hanoi

Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing

At Float Hanoi, you will be able to experience a unique method of de-stressing. Here, sensory deprivation is used as a form of therapy to yield a relaxed and calm state of mind. According to scientific studies, sensory deprivation is said to create an environment fully free of distractions which encourages the body and the mind to become fully relaxed. This state of deep relaxation enhances the body’s abilities to heal and also eliminate stress and anxiety. I think it will be perfect for those looking for a unique way to relax, or take up their meditation experience up a notch!

The centre offers float tanks and float rooms where you can spend 60 or 90 minutes depending on the package chosen. The centre also has a branch in Saigon.
