Spatial Planning

Three Distinct Zones

01
Zone 1
Main Mansion

Restoration of the main building in faithful adherence to its original late Art Deco design language, as applied in the 1930s.

02
Zone 2
Connection Points

Paved pathways linking all areas of the estate, featuring golden trees adorned with nacre from Kiên Giang. LED-lit flower gardens line the ceremonial downhill walkway.

03
Zone 3
Lover's Trail

A series of intimate pocket spaces along a scenic walking trail — each named after princes and princesses of King Bao Dai's court.

A Jewel in the Dark

Thousands of LED lights and coloured trees transform the estate at night into one of Đà Lạt's most iconic spectacles — a must-see destination and enduring symbol of the city.

F&B resting spaces are integrated along the downhill walkway to serve up to 700 visitors at peak time — connecting the flat garden, the LED garden, and the hillside panorama.
