Happy House 1 - Private Bungalow with Pool & Garden View at HappyZen Farm

HappyZen was founded in 2016 in Ho Chi Minh City by members of HAPPYGROUP, starting with two meditation centers offering basic classes for office workers. On March 5th, 2020, HappyZen Farm was established in Xuyen Moc (Ba Ria – Vung Tau) on a river island formed by the Hoa and Kinh rivers, next to the Binh Chau – Phuoc Buu Nature Reserve. With its unique “river in front, stream behind” location surrounded by lush forest, the farm offers fresh, clean air: mornings filled with vibrant sunrises, birdsong, and the gentle flow of the stream; evenings adorned with peaceful, romantic sunsets. Built with care by founder Mr. Happy (Pham Phong), the farm features three Giay ethnic wooden houses transported from Sapa and three traditional Northern Vietnamese “ke truyen” houses from Bac Ninh, all restored and harmoniously integrated with nature. Today, HappyZen Farm has seven independent houses, each designed to connect with the surrounding landscape. The art collection, including oil and lacquer paintings by renowned Vietnamese artists, adds to the farm’s unique blend of art, meditation, and tranquility.

HappyZen Farm is a meditation and wellness farmstay where you can find peace and rejuvenation amidst lush greenery. Designed as a serene oasis, it offers the perfect setting for meditation, yoga, and short- or long-term wellness retreats. We regularly host weekend, 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day courses to help guests regain balance and positive energy. Beyond a tranquil getaway, HappyZen Farm is renowned for its non-medicinal health care methods, effectively supporting conditions such as diabetes, gout, spinal degeneration, and sinusitis through acupressure therapy, body warming techniques, herbal remedies, meditation, and yoga. Many guests return to express gratitude by donating plants and flowers to our gardens. The property features independent Happy Houses restored from traditional Giay wooden houses and Northern “Ke truyen” wooden homes, preserving the rustic charm of timber from the 1970s–1980s. Nestled among them are the Zen Gate meditation platform, the Art Works space, the Happy Book reading room, and the herbal bath area offering the traditional Dao Do leaf soak. Here, art and meditation intertwine: from oil and lacquer paintings by Vietnamese artists to serene meditation corners, every detail is designed to nourish creativity and the soul. At HappyZen Farm, every moment is an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the present.
