Namia River Retreat
Hoi An, Vietnam



A peaceful oasis in the heart of Heritage
Namia River Retreat is the only five-star wellness-inclusive resort with all private pool villas in the UNESCO Heritage Town of Hoi An, Central Vietnam, just a 15-minute bicycle ride from Hoi An's bustling central market. Here, nestled amidst lush landscapes and tranquil waters, the resort was born from a dream of blending genuine cultural exploration with the healing touch of Vietnamese herbology.
Through its design, Namia River Retreat pays homage to Hoi An’s rich heritage as an ancient trading port and vibrant fishing villages while beautifully blending timeless elegance with a contemporary touch. Across its verdant private islet on the Thu Bon River, Namia River Retreat unfolds as a collection of 60 entirely private villas. Whether framed by whispering nipa palms, the shimmering expanse of the Thu Bon River, or a sweeping 180-degree waterscape, each villa is a private sanctuary unto itself, making the outside world feel blissfully irrelevant.
Inspired by Hoi An’s fresh local fare and the ancient trading port’s exotic spices and wares, Namia’s culinary journey will offer guests a true taste of Vietnam. Located on the riverfront, The Merchant offers an elegant setting for guests to enjoy cocktails and contemporary Vietnamese food. Capturing the essence of Hoi An’s fishing culture, The Fisherman offers a seafood-focused dining experience that blends traditional Vietnamese flavours with Japanese culinary influences. Exclusively available to resort guests, this restaurant offers an intimate setting for enjoying Hoi An’s freshest flavours.
At the heart of Namia River Retreat lies Lumina Wellbeing, a sanctuary where ancient Vietnamese folk healing, known as “Thuốc Nam” is woven into every ritual. Each night, guests embark on a complimentary 90-minute wellness journey, followed by a 60-minute traditional treatment, including the resort's signature “Diện Chẩn” facial reflexology. Two curated pathways, Mind for deep rest and Body for physical renewal, allow each stay to be intimately personal. Thoughtfully designed alongside traditional healers and Vietnamese schools, the experience unfolds across steam rooms, river-view saunas, movement studios, and an open-air meditation sala.
