Amid the dreamy city of a thousand flowers, where morning mist gently veils the old tiled roofs and rows of aged pine trees sway in the breeze, there exists a place where time seems to pause to preserve the most authentic values of an old Dalat. Dalat Cadasa Resort is not loud, not showy, but quietly endures like a beautiful memory of the misty city, where every stone, every step, and every window frame is imbued with the soul of classical French architecture, with history and timeless stories. It is a place where travelers, upon arrival, can immediately feel the unique rhythm of the space, a rhythm that is both peaceful and poetic, as if embraced by a world detached from all worries.
Located on Tran Hung Dao Street, known as the flower boulevard of Dalat, the resort emerges as a European-style architectural complex nestled among endless pine forests. Rather than a single structure, Cadasa is a collection of sixteen ancient villas built in the 1920s, each with its own identity, designed by the most talented hands of the era in various architectural styles from France. Some villas bear the classic Northern style, others reflect the elegance of Provence or the aristocratic charm of the Southeast Alps. Standing in the grounds of Cadasa feels like stepping into a miniature European village, where every house tells a story and every moss-covered roof is a memory cherished over time. Villa No. 16 is considered the soul of the area, once home to architect Jean Veyssere, who helped shape the romantic contours of this city. It is not only the oldest but also regarded as one of the most beautiful villas in the region, and it is hard to take your eyes off the details that are both ancient and refined.
But Dalat Cadasa is more than just the beauty of old brick walls or graceful decorative lines. It is the serenity felt when walking along stone-paved paths hugging the hillside, the whisper of pine leaves like a fairytale tale, the subtle scent of wildflowers mingled in the crisp highland air. On some mornings, opening the window reveals fog still lingering on the eaves, birdsong echoing from distant branches, and soft sunlight streaming through stained glass panes. Time here seems to move slower, just enough for people to leisurely savor each moment, to let their hearts settle and rediscover a calm that is often elusive in the rush of modern life.
The accommodation at Cadasa offers a graceful blend of classical charm and modern comfort. Every room is meticulously curated, from materials to lighting, from arrangement to color palette. Wooden furnishings in warm brown tones combined with white curtains and soft yellow lighting create an atmosphere that is both elegant and intimate. The vintage fireplaces are preserved as a tribute to the past, paired with wide windows overlooking flower gardens or pine hills. There are cozy rooms for couples who value privacy and spacious villas with multiple bedrooms ideal for families or groups of friends. No matter the type, Cadasa always offers a harmonious connection between nature and people, where every sense is gently awakened.
Dining at the resort is also a memorable experience. Cadasa’s restaurant serves refined Asian and European cuisine, with a focus on fresh ingredients sourced from the fertile lands of Dalat. A nutritious breakfast featuring organic vegetables, crispy toast, and a steaming cup of rich coffee sets the perfect tone for a new day. When sunset falls, a small lounge nestled beside an old villa invites guests with soft music, full-bodied red wine, and a cozy atmosphere that feels like a European fairytale. Sitting there, one can feel the cold breeze sneaking through the windows, gaze at the golden light spilling from wooden window frames, and let the soul drift amidst the gentle sounds.
Dalat Cadasa also offers modern conveniences to meet the diverse needs of travelers. Families with young children will find joy in the charming play area. Corporate groups can organize meetings or events in fully equipped conference spaces. The reception operates around the clock, airport shuttle service is readily available, and all personal needs from accommodation to information assistance are handled by a dedicated and professional staff. There is no extravagance, no noise, but every detail here reflects a deep spirit of hospitality rooted in local identity.
Choosing Cadasa is choosing a point of connection between the present and the past, between a longing for slow living and the timeless elegance that defies time. That is why this place continues to win the hearts of those who cherish nostalgia, couples in search of a romantic escape, families seeking moments of togetherness, and young travelers passionate about photography and beauty. Every corner of the resort becomes a perfect backdrop for poetic photos, from the tiled staircases and garden paths to the time-worn glass windows.
From the resort’s location, it is easy to walk to the romantic Xuan Huong Lake, the lush Yersin Park, or the vibrant Lam Vien Square. Whether staying in to bask in tranquility or stepping out to explore the city, every experience begins and returns within the warm embrace of Cadasa. And perhaps it is the interweaving of memory and the present, of people and nature, that makes this place a special rendezvous in the hearts of those who have passed through.
There are places that imprint on memory at just a glance. There are retreats that move the soul without flowery words. And there are moments, like the one when you step into the grounds of Dalat Cadasa, when you realize you have found a pure, poetic part of Dalat. A place to return to peace, to listen to yourself, and to forever keep the most beautiful emotions of a journey across the windswept highlands.
