Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An: Forbes 5-Star beachfront villa sanctuary on Ha My Beach with La Sen and 3 tiered infinity pools

Cascading across 86 tropical acres along a private stretch of pristine Ha My Beach in central Vietnam (just 15 minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Ancient Town of Hoi An, 30 minutes from Da Nang International Airport), Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An opened as Vietnam’s premier luxury beachfront villa grand palace (holding prestigious Forbes Five-Star honors). Masterfully designed by Reda Amalou (AW2) in the style of traditional Vietnamese garden homes with feng shui harmony and raised platform beds, the 100-villa luxury sanctuary features three iconic tiered outdoor heated oceanfront infinity swimming pools (including an Olympic-size pool and adult quiet pool). Featuring the acclaimed contemporary Vietnamese restaurant La Sen, the pan-Asian dining room Café Nam Hai, the award-winning The Heart of the Earth Spa floating on a lotus lagoon, and the Nam Hai Cooking Academy, this property is Vietnam’s ultimate luxury grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Vietnamese royal serenity and East Sea coastal splendour: personal hosts greet guests beneath grand timber colonnades on Ha My Beach before entering the open-air lobby with reflection lotus ponds, wind chime melodies, and chilled lemongrass-ginger tea. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Hoi An cultural, culinary, and marine pursuits: strolling through the lantern-lit streets and historic merchant houses of UNESCO Hoi An Ancient Town (15 minutes away via complimentary resort shuttle), cycling through local organic farming villages (steps away), visiting the ancient Hindu ruins of My Son Sanctuary (45 minutes away), swimming in the three tiered oceanfront infinity pools, indulging in singing bowl sound therapy and lotus therapies at The Heart of the Earth Spa, taking masterclasses at the Nam Hai Cooking Academy, enjoying sunset craft cocktails at The Bar, and reserving dinner at La Sen.

Palace living balances active UNESCO cultural discovery with profound holistic wellness: The Heart of the Earth Spa features 8 private floating overwater treatment pavilions on a tranquil lotus lagoon, steam rooms, saunas, 3 swimming pools, and therapies utilizing organic Vietnamese herbs, crystal singing bowls, and ginger compresses. Dining is an extraordinary Vietnamese-international culinary summit: contemporary Vietnamese gastronomy at La Sen (featuring cao lau noodles, grilled ocean fish, and French Grand Crus), Indian and Asian show kitchens at Café Nam Hai, cocktails at The Bar, and private beach barbecues.

Accommodations comprise 100 standalone private villas styled by Reda Amalou in polished Vietnamese ironwood, local silk, and raised central platform beds with private plunge pools ranging from 80 to 660 square metres. Each residence features sweeping views of the East Sea or coconut gardens, plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep sunken soaking bathtubs and outdoor rain showers.
