Luxury Beachside Retreat in Hoi An

Spanning 35 hectares along a private stretch of Ha My Beach, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai is a luxurious beachfront sanctuary just minutes from the charming heritage town of Hoi An. Designed with inspiration from traditional Vietnamese garden homes, the Resort features 100 spacious villas—including 40 with private pools—ranging from one to five bedrooms. Nestled among lush tropical landscaping and serene water features, the villas are ideal for couples, friends, and families alike.

From soul-deep wellness offerings inspired by Vietnamese Zen traditions to immersive cultural experiences in the ancient town of Hoi An, every moment at the Resort is thoughtfully designed to foster connection—with self, others, and the rich cultural spirit of Central Vietnam.

Destination Dining and Central Vietnam’s Only Omakase Experience

The Resort offers a diverse and dynamic culinary journey that celebrates the rich flavours of Vietnam and beyond. At Café Nam Hai, guests enjoy a hearty morning breakfast and royal Indian dining in the evening, while Lá Sen serves up authentic Vietnamese dishes using French techniques amid a relaxed, open-air setting.

The newly opened Sol & Sao Bar begins the day with artisanal gelato and specialty coffee, creating a relaxed café vibe by the sea. As evening falls, the space transforms into a lively sherry cocktail bar offering Vietnamese-style tapas and expertly crafted drinks—perfect for sunset aperitifs or late-night conversations in a stylish, coastal setting. A standout highlight is NAYUU—the only omakase restaurant in Central Vietnam—where guests are invited to savour an intimate, multi-course Japanese dining experience guided by Chef Alex Moranda’s creative artistry and the finest seasonal ingredients.

The Heart of the Earth Spa: A Sanctuary of Mindful Wellness

Inspired by the teachings of revered Zen master Thích Nhất Hạnh, The Heart of the Earth Spa offers a deeply spiritual and sensory wellness journey that connects guests to the rhythms of nature. Floating over a lotus pond, the Spa features eight tranquil treatment pavilions and a range of mindful rituals that integrate sound therapy, breathwork, and natural Vietnamese ingredients.

The Spa’s signature experiences—including Nam Hai Earth Song, a synchronized massage set to the vibrations of crystal singing bowls—invite guests to relax, restore, and realign in harmony with the earth.

Gateway to Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Perfectly positioned along Vietnam’s central coast, the Resort offers privileged access to three UNESCO World Heritage sites: the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An Ancient Town, the imperial city of Hue, and the My Son Sanctuary, an archaeological treasure of Cham civilization. Curated excursions led by expert guides immerse guests in the history, architecture, and living culture of these iconic destinations.
