An Eco Homestay

🌿 An Eco Homestay – Where Nature, Community, and Conservation Meet

Located on the edge of the mangrove forest within the Xuan Thuy National Park Biosphere Reserve, An Eco Homestay Giao Thuy lies at the convergence of sea, river, and wetland—a vibrant ecosystem recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve. The homestay proudly promotes the idea that sustainable tourism and mangrove conservation can go hand in hand to foster balanced development.

Driven by the heart and vision of founder Ms. Doan Thi Thoa, who left behind 20 years of life in Hanoi to return to her coastal hometown, An Eco is more than just a homestay—it’s the embodiment of a dream to build a resilient, community-based eco-village. Her model not only helps preserve mangrove forests but also creates livelihood opportunities for locals and offers travelers meaningful, human-centered experiences.

🏡 More than a Stay – A Living Eco Model

At An Eco, you don’t just visit—you take part in a community-rooted vision for sustainability:

Planting mangrove trees (Sonneratia, Casuarina) to restore forests, prevent coastal erosion, and protect the shoreline.
Harvesting and consuming local seafood from mangrove-rich areas, ensuring long-term income for local families.
Creating new jobs through eco-tourism and homestay services that help locals earn steady incomes while protecting their natural environment.

A deeply immersive experience at An Eco Homestay! Nestled beside the mangrove forests of Xuan Thuy, this place offers more than a stay—it’s a real community where you help plant trees, farm seafood, and cook with locals. Felt incredibly authentic and meaningful.
