Day 1 – Arrival Day

Arrive at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai to be greeted by the warm embrace of Vietnamese hospitality. After checking in, guests are whisked away to their private villa, framed by spectacular tropical vistas. In the afternoon, stroll or cycle through the verdant grounds before heading for a refreshing dip in one of the three tiers of infinity pools that cascade down to the ocean, extending panoramic views of the coastline.

Come evening, join the enchanting Good Night Kiss To The Earth ceremony at the Heart of the Earth Spa, where the ethereal strains of crystal singing bowls fill the air. For dinner, savour a refined Japanese omakase experience, curated by Chef Alex Moranda at NAYUU.

Day 2 – Exploring Hoi An

After breakfast at Café Nam Hai, the morning unfolds with a step-by-step culinary lesson at the Nam Hai Cooking Academy. Learn the secrets of authentic Vietnamese cuisine at this immersive class, culminating in a shared lunch.

In the late afternoon, hop into the Resort car and head to the ancient town of Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its architectural splendour. Whether wandering through charming streets, sipping coffee at quaint cafes or browsing artisanal shops, Hoi An promises a captivating sojourn into Vietnam’s vibrant heritage. Make a stop at the Precious Heritage Museum, where striking portraits and heirlooms offer insights into the country’s ethnic tribes.

As dusk descends, there are two enticing options for dinner. Stay on in Hoi An for a flavourful expedition through lantern-lit boulevards — or return to the Resort for a royal Indian feast, crafted by Chef Yamlal Kendel at Café Nam Hai.

Day 3 – Cultural Excursions

Early risers can board an ecotour boat on a Sunrise Fish Market excursion to catch the first light over the Cua Dai Sea. Watch local fishermen bringing in their catch and families preparing it for sale at the bustling fish market before returning to the boat for a fisherman’s breakfast.

History enthusiasts can head out to My Son Sanctuary to discover the spiritual legacy of fourth-century Champa temples, echoing the magnificence of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat. Guests who prefer to spend the afternoon at the Resort can enjoy a garden-fresh brunch at La Sen, serving bistro-style Vietnamese and French delicacies by the beach.

As the sun begins its descent, set off on a delicious foodie adventure atop vintage Vespas. The Hoi An Vespa Foodie Adventure excursion takes guests through busy streets and quiet alleyways to sample local classics like Ban Xeo (crispy rice-flour pancakes) and the famous White Rose dumplings found only in Hoi An.

Optionally, set sail down the Cua Dai River on a tranquil cruise. As part of the Sunset River Cruise excursion, experience paddling a bamboo basket boat, a round watercraft invented by local fishermen and designed to move naturally with the water. Guests can even join their guide for an exciting boat-spinning performance! Witness the ever-changing colours of the sunset sky, before heading back to the Resort for a beach barbeque under the stars.

Day 4 – Departure Day

Join a relaxing morning yoga or meditation session, enveloped by the soothing sounds of nature. Guests will find an inspiring realm for self-care and reconnection at The Heart of The Earth Spa, set atop a lotus-filled lagoon. Aligned with the teachings of Vietnamese Zen monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, the Spa’s treatments, therapies and rituals present a sanctuary for the soul. Each treatment begins and concludes with crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz, inviting guests to align with the harmonic intonation of nature.

With renewed energy and a heart brimming with anticipation for future adventures, bid adieu to Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai.

For Longer Stays

Guests extending their visit beyond three nights can dive even deeper into the tapestry of Vietnam. Join the Rhum Arrangé Experience at Distillerie d’Indochine to learn about the art of rum-making. Savour five varieties of Sampan rum, each crafted from organic sugarcane and paired with regional produce.

History-seekers can also explore Hue, the old capital of Vietnam, with a full-day tour organized by the Resort. From the grandeur of the Imperial City to the serene Perfume River, Hue offers a glimpse into the nation’s regal legends.
