A City in the Clouds Worth the Climb

Dalat Unfolded: Romance, Altitude, and the Art of Slowing Down

Perched 1,500 meters above sea level, Dalat is Vietnam’s soulful retreat—a highland city where the air is crisper, the skies bluer, and time seems to stretch out its limbs and relax. More than just a backdrop to Cedarvale, Dalat is a destination in its own right: an alluring mix of old-world charm, natural beauty, and quiet eccentricity.
Often dubbed the "City of Eternal Spring," Dalat boasts a mild, temperate climate year-round. Its French colonial villas, flower-lined streets, and vintage cable cars give the city a European flair, while its markets brim with unmistakable Vietnamese life—fresh strawberries, handmade jams, dried artichoke flowers, and the addictive scent of freshly roasted coffee.

Visitors can start their day on a scenic boat ride across Tuyen Lam Lake or hike to Elephant Falls where the roar of cascading water echoes through jungle canopies. Art lovers will feel at home in the surrealist corridors of the Crazy House, and history buffs will be drawn to Bao Dai’s Summer Palace—a frozen moment of imperial nostalgia.
But perhaps Dalat’s greatest appeal is its sense of unhurried wonder. Whether you’re pedaling a swan boat at dusk, taking in a rooftop café view, or getting lost among the bonsai of the Valley of Love, Dalat teaches you the art of pausing. Of looking. Of breathing.
Staying at Cedarvale means more than proximity to these delights—it means returning each evening to a forested cocoon where city lights fade and the stars take center stage.

Don’t just visit Dalat. Feel it. Let it linger.
