This unique product allows residents to breathe the fresh air of a forest while enjoying suitable amenities without having to travel far or relocate to temporary, pop-up resorts.
Full-Spectrum Forest Retreat Homes
Ecopark’s founder—Vietnam’s leading sustainable real estate developer—has launched a new product line: Retreat Forest villas.
Retreat Forest is the most distinctive subdivision within the core forest area of Eco Retreat (spanning 220 hectares in western Ho Chi Minh City). It boasts a dense, diverse canopy with multiple benefits for sustainable health. This signature product line from Eco Retreat is built on a vision of creating a living environment where residents can experience holistic therapies, recovery, and rejuvenation from nature. It enhances interaction and physical activity with nature, grounded in scientific and forest medicine principles.

Retreat Forest spans 56 hectares, including a large water area of 13.5 hectares surrounding the forest core; a 13.5-hectare communal garden featuring biodiverse Miyawaki forest pockets with 24 distinct amenities and experiences; private gardens for each villa and infrastructure covering nearly 21 hectares. The construction land ratio is minimal at just 8.1 hectares, accommodating 604 villas in two main styles: Avenue Villas (multi-functional properties) and Forest Villas (the signature Retreat Forest product line).
Avenue Villas – Multi-Functional Properties
Along the 30-meter-wide Autumn Avenue and Island Bay Avenue—the main routes welcoming residents home—103 Avenue Villas are designed for multi-functional use. Each villa integrates commercial space on the ground floor, with living areas on the second and third floors. These properties are easily accessible and identifiable, adding value for owners who wish to combine home offices or commercial operations along the city’s main thoroughfares.

With spacious floor areas ranging from 350 to 450 square meters per villa, Avenue Villas allow owners to diversify usage, catering to various business interests without managing multiple properties.
Forest Villas – Retreat Forest’s Signature Product Line
The standout feature of Retreat Forest is its forest core, characterized by low construction density, high greenery coverage, and surrounding water bodies that maintain a microclimate 3-5°C cooler than the surrounding area. Here, 501 Forest Villas offer a unique blend of modern and sustainable living.

Forest Villas are designed with only two above-ground floors, ensuring the structures remain shorter than the tree canopy and are shaded by large surrounding trees. Each villa is enveloped by dense forest belts and biodiverse Miyawaki forest pockets, hosting over 30 plant species around each home. This creates a continuous botanical exploration chain featuring over 300 species across 24 forest pockets in Retreat Forest.

Upon entering Retreat Forest, each home shares a “nature-facing” orientation, framed by diverse vegetation through floor-to-ceiling windows and wide balconies. The 18 Forest Villa designs ensure that every space offers a natural view, with verandas and thresholds designed to capture breezes, bringing nature indoors.

“Residents now prioritize private enjoyment, nurturing tranquility, and pursuing passions. Retreat Forest’s Forest Villas offer a solution for creative, passionate living by blending nature connection, community, and personalized privacy,” shared Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang, Deputy Sales Director of Ecopark.
Balancing Community Connection with Private Experiences
Retreat Forest features 24 gardens with amenities like swimming pools, sports courts, tea pavilions, BBQ gardens, and multi-purpose play areas. These spaces foster community connection through forest therapy, recovery, and rejuvenation, leveraging the benefits of forest medicine.
For private experiences, each Forest Villa includes a dedicated basement level designed for personal use.
The basement ensures natural ventilation and light through two 10-square-meter skylights, allowing cool forest air to flow in. This transforms the basement into a private garden oasis favored by homeowners.

Basement experience spaces are a growing trend. Owners can customize them into art studios, music rooms, home theaters, wine cellars, or galleries for personal collections. “Many incorporate spa features like mineral baths, massages, and saunas for professional self-care without leaving home. This reflects a popular lifestyle trend: personalize your space with your favorite items and experiences,” added Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang.
Forest Villa Models and Unique Basement Designs
With 22 years of experience, Ecopark has completed Miyawaki forest pockets in the Family Garden of Retreat Forest within six months. Three Forest Villa models—semi-detached, detached, and fan-shaped mansions—are now open for tours.

The detached villa offers a private basement for a second-generation entrepreneur’s business meetings. The semi-detached villa showcases a young designer’s creative studio and sketch workspace.
