Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An

Fanned out along a ribbon of pristine white sand facing the East Vietnam Sea, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai is tropical beachfront perfection within driving distance of Hoi An. Here, long-legged palms tower over chic, modern villas, and infinity pools reflect cloudless skies. China Beach, a lovely and immaculate strand of shore, is just steps away from your stylish bungalow.

Even though the property boasts 100 villas—40 pool villas (one- to five-bedrooms) and 60 resort villas (including eight family suites)—the ample space between each accommodation assures privacy. Glass doors open the refined interior rooms to ocean breezes and look upon the beach or gardens. Many suites come with perks like walled-off outdoor rain showers and al fresco terraces. Upgrade to a pool villa for a decadent private plunge pool and richly appointed living spaces.

On-property, guests can practice yoga on the beach, swim in the ocean or in the three-tiered infinity pool, and sample unique treatments like singing bowl meditation at the overwater spa. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, sample Pan-Asian flavors at the resort’s variety of restaurants, ranging from Japanese omakase to Indian to French Vietnamese.

With some of Vietnam’s most incredible cultural treasures located nearby, it’s also worth venturing out. A 20-minute drive from The Nam Hai places you squarely in Hoi An’s charming UNESCO-designated Old Town. Visit after dusk to imbibe the romantic, lantern-lit ambiance. Further afield, take in sweeping landscape views from the Golden Bridge, held aloft by two larger-than-life hands.
