WELCOME MARCH – FLEE THE FRET, FIND THE FULL
March arrives in Dalat with soft rays of sunlight filtering through pine forests, with gentle blossoms lingering along the hillsides, and with new movements full of inspiration. It is not only a moment of seasonal transition for nature, but also a month of journeys, of special occasions, and of the gentle half of the world.
All these elements come together to make Dalat more poetic than ever – a destination to escape the worries and embrace serenity.
Drive to Dalat – When the journey becomes part of the experience
March 4, 2026 marks a notable milestone as Lien Khuong Airport officially begins a six-month temporary closure. This event opens a new travel trend – Drive to Dalat, experiencing Dalat by road, where scenic routes are not merely a way to arrive, but the emotional beginning of a slow and delightful holiday.
Departing from Ho Chi Minh City or nearby provinces, winding mountain passes through pine forests, open blue skies, and refreshing highland breezes become the first greeting of the misty city. Rather than focusing on distance, the journey offers an opportunity to slow down with loved ones, enjoy the drive, and witness the landscape gradually transform from bustling urban scenes to peaceful natural surroundings.
To make the journey even more rewarding, Ana Mandara Villas Dalat introduces exclusive privileges for guests who choose to travel to Dalat by road – thoughtful benefits designed as a warm welcome after a long drive:
- Complimentary nutritious breakfast combo for guests arriving at our resort before 8:00 AM
- A warm welcome drink to dispel Dalat’s signature chill and instantly create a sense of comfort
- Complimentary room upgrade, early check-in, and late check-out subject to availability, allowing for a more relaxed and complete resort experience
March blossoms – The gentle colors of Dalat’s spring
March is also when Dalat dresses itself in its most romantic palette. White bauhinia flowers bloom gracefully along poetic streets such as Quang Trung, Tran Phu, and Ho Tung Mau. Their delicate petals shimmer softly in the morning sunlight against a crystal-clear blue sky.

Alongside them, the dreamy purple hue of jacaranda blossoms adds another charming touch to the city’s vibrant landscape. This iconic flower of Dalat signals the beginning of an exciting and much-anticipated summer season.

Dalat in March is not overly bustling or noisy, yet it radiates beauty and charm in a refined way – much like the elegance and gentleness of a woman, irresistible to anyone who appreciates beauty.
Pour Elle – All for Her
March is also known as the month of roses with International Women’s Day on March 8 – a special occasion to celebrate the gentle half of the world. It is a day when love is expressed openly, when roses symbolize affection, and when appreciation is conveyed through thoughtful gestures.
At Le Petit Restaurant, a special fine dining menu is thoughtfully created for Her day, inspired by the grace and elegance of women. Each dish is a delicate harmony of subtle flavors, refined presentation, and fresh ingredients from Dalat.
Within the warm and classic ambiance of Ana Mandara Villas Dalat, soft candlelight and gentle melodies create the perfect setting – where her beauty is cherished and celebrated. She deserves to be loved in the most refined way.
Dalat Ultra Trail – When March becomes a season of challenge and renewal
Following these romantic moments, March also brings excitement with the highly anticipated sporting event Dalat Ultra Trail. Registration will officially close on March 15 as organizers prepare for the race taking place over three days from March 27 to March 29. This event invites athletes and running enthusiasts to conquer challenging trail routes through the highland forests.
