NAMIA RIVER RETREAT

Just a few kilometers from the charming UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hoi An's Old Town, Namia River Retreat is set on the tranquil Cồn Ba Xã Islet in the Thu Bon River in central Vietnam. This peaceful, green oasis is an insider tip for travelers seeking to escape the hustle and bustle while still being close to the cultural highlights of the region. The retreat offers the best of both worlds: a relaxed natural idyll far away from the hectic city life, with easy access to the lively center of Hoi An – only a 15-minute drive or a short boat ride away with the hotel's own shuttle service, which runs several times daily. Da Nang International Airport is about a 40-minute drive, making the journey smooth and convenient.

Even the drive to Namia River Retreat puts you in the mood to slow down. The resort is nestled among lush greenery and gentle waterways on a quiet island in the Thu Bon River – a unique setting that immediately brings body and mind into harmony.The 60 private pool villas are true havens of peace and space. Generous glass fronts open up to nature, and the combination of regional wood, natural stone, and woven textiles creates an atmosphere of authenticity and cozy elegance. Each villa has an infinity pool, an outdoor shower, and spacious sun decks that invite you to linger and unwind. The design draws inspiration from traditional fishermen’s boats and countryside houses around Hoi An. Every detail reflects a connection to the surroundings. The heart of Namia River Retreat is Lumina Wellbeing, where the "wellness-inclusive" program is brought to life: Each guest receives a 90-minute treatment every day, consisting of a soothing herbal steam bath and a traditional regional therapy. The treatments take place in tastefully designed, private treatment rooms, which create an atmosphere of calm and comfort with natural scents and soft lighting. Some of the rooms offer a soothing view of the river, which makes the experience even more intense.

The spa has a total of ten treatment rooms – four single and six double rooms – as well as eight herbal steam baths for deep relaxation. A sauna with a direct view of the river and a cold plunge pool offer an amazing refreshment after the treatments. In addition, two indoor relaxation areas with panoramic windows invite you to meditate and regenerate. Exercise and balance are provided by dedicated yoga and fitness studios, as well as covered outdoor salas where meditative and mindful practices take place.

The holistic wellness experience is rounded off by a select range of wellness products available in the spa area – an invitation to take the feeling of balance and relaxation home with you. The day here begins with gentle Dưỡng Sinh movement rituals, sunrise yoga, and silent meditation in the lush gardens. The diverse activity program includes cultural workshops, cooking classes featuring local recipes, and a sunset cruise that glides gently along the river, its curved shapes painting a typical picture of Vietnamese waterways. These excursions on the calm waters of the Thu Bon River open up relaxed perspectives on nature and life on the water. In addition, rituals such as writing wishes on the wishing tree invite you to consciously connect with your own intentions.For families with children, Namia River Retreat offers a lovingly designed Kids Club that is much more than just childcare. In a separate area with a child-friendly pool and safe playground, the little ones can joyfully discover nature and make new friends. The varied children's program includes activities such as feeding the colorful koi fish, planting trees together in the biodiversity garden, and creative eco-crafting workshops using natural materials. In this way, children learn responsibility for the environment and the joy of nature in a playful way. The caregivers ensure that each child feels comfortable and is encouraged in an age-appropriate manner, while parents can relax and enjoy their time off.

Namia River Retreat tempts guests with culinary delights in two outstanding restaurants: The Merchant, inspired by Hoi An's rich trading tradition, serves modern Vietnamese dishes made from fresh, regional ingredients. Here, traditional cuisine meets creative interpretation – a feast for the senses that brings the diverse flavors of Central Vietnam to the plate. Breakfast is also served at The Merchant, treating guests to a rich buffet of freshly prepared international and local dishes – the perfect, delicious start to the day.

Just a few steps away is the resort's spacious main pool – a sparkling retreat that encourages you to refresh and relax with its gentle waves and elegant sunbathing areas. Here, nature and luxury combine to create a harmonious experience that makes your stay at Namia River Retreat unforgettable.

Sustainability is not just lip service at Namia River Retreat, but a philosophy that is lived out in practice: the villas are built on stilts, the building materials are predominantly regional, and state-of-the-art solar technology ensures a low ecological footprint. Recycling, organic packaging, and a biodiversity garden are further elements of the resort's commitment to sustainability. Guests explore the location on foot, by bamboo bicycle, or in silent electric buggies – always in harmony with nature. Namia River Retreat is much more than a resort – it is a retreat for all the senses, an invitation to relax and a journey of discovery into the authentic culture of Vietnam. A place where time is irrelevant and conscious experience is paramount. Namia River Retreat offers more than just classic comfort – it is a place where body, mind, and soul are brought into harmony in many different ways. Guests are invited to leave everyday life behind and embark on a journey of mindfulness and conscious encounter with themselves and nature.
