Amidst the endless hustle and bustle of Saigon, there are afternoons when we find ourselves exhausted, our minds drifting to a faraway place. A place without car horns, without neon lights, just silence and a promise of peace. We often seek trips to escape, but there are places that not only help us "retreat", but also help us find. Find a steady breath, find a deep connection with nature, and find joy in the simplest things.
At Nomia Garden Retreats, we believe that the most valuable experience is not a luxurious service, but a moment. And the most precious "specialty" that we want to give you is the moment of the early morning - the moment of welcoming a magical sunrise on Tri An Lake. This is not just an introductory article, this is an invitation, inviting you to experience with us a morning that will remain in your memory forever.
Quiet Night – Prelude to a Magical Dawn at Nomia Garden Retreats
To fully appreciate the beauty of dawn, one must experience the silence of the night before. At Nomia, the night does not bring with it the noise of the city. Instead, it is a symphony of nature. The chirping of crickets in the garden, the croaking of frogs echoing from the lake, and the occasional rustling of leaves when a gentle breeze blows by. The sky here is not polluted by light, it is a jet-black velvet carpet studded with millions of twinkling stars, a sight you probably haven’t seen in a long time.
Returning to your rustic bungalow, you will not feel isolated. On the contrary, it is a feeling of safety and protection. The refined luxury of Nomia lies not in the ostentatious details, but in the soft mattress that invites deep sleep, in the faint scent of lemongrass essential oil, and in the absolute silence that allows your mind to completely relax. You will fall asleep with a gentle excitement, knowing that when you wake up, a miracle awaits.

The Moment of Transition: When the Night Gives Back the Stage to the Light
The most beautiful moment in Nomia is probably around 5am. That's when the boundary between night and day becomes blurred. No need for an alarm clock, your body will automatically be awakened by the subtle change in the air, it becomes fresher and cooler.
Put on a thin shirt, step out onto your private wooden porch. Everything is still immersed in a mysterious dark blue. The surface of Tri An Lake is as quiet as a giant mirror, reflecting the sky before dawn. A thin layer of mist drifts over the water, creating a magical scene like a fairyland. The silence is almost absolute, you can even hear the sound of the night dew on the leaves.
And then, the magic begins. From the distant horizon, a streak of purple-pink light begins to glow, spreading slowly. The dark blue of the sky is gradually replaced by soft pastel colors: from purple, pink, orange and then to bright yellow. The sun, like a talented artist, is meticulously painting a great landscape right before your eyes.
The first rays of sunlight, warm and gentle, begin to penetrate the mist, shining on the lake surface, creating millions of sparkling diamonds. Nomia's entire garden comes to life. The dew drops on the leaves and flower petals begin to reflect the sunlight, and the chorus of birds greeting the new day begins to sound. This is a moment when all words become powerless, only felt with all the senses.

Sunrise at Nomia Garden Retreats – Not Just Watching, But "Bathing" In It
At Nomia Garden Retreats, we don’t want you to be just a spectator of the sunrise. We invite you to be a part of it.
Roll out your yoga mat on the wooden deck, do some graceful sun salutations. Feel the warm rays of the sun caressing your skin, take a deep breath of the fresh air, and let the energy of the earth and sky flow into your body. It’s a wonderful moving meditation.
Or if you prefer tranquility, let us bring you a cup of hot ginger tea or a strong cup of coffee. Sit there, in silence, sip your favorite beverage and let your mind drift with the beauty of the moment. Luxury is sometimes simply enjoying the simple things to the fullest.
And when the sun is a little higher, take a stroll around the stone paths in the garden. Touch the flowers still wet with dew, admire the green leaves stretching to the sun. Every step is a connection, bringing you closer to the beat of nature.

Breakfast by the Lake - Fresh Energy from Nature
The sunrise experience would not be complete without an energizing breakfast. After bathing in the morning sunlight, come to our open-air restaurant. A hearty breakfast that still retains the rustic spirit has been prepared. It is a bowl of rich, non-greasy noodle soup, or a hot fried sausage pan. Enjoy breakfast, sip a cup of coffee, and watch the lake surface completely awakened under the sunlight, it is the perfect way to start a new day full of excitement.
