Escape to the Soul of Vietnam: A Summer Guide to Hoi An with Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai

As summer unfolds, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An, Vietnam invites travellers to discover a vibrant blend of cultural heritage, family fun, and coastal luxury. Nestled along a pristine stretch of Ha My Beach, just minutes from UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hoi An Ancient Town, the Resort unveils its Summer 2025 Guide — a season of unforgettable moments for exploration and adventure.

Family Adventures, Naturally Inspired

Budding environmentalists can join the Young Guardians of the Earth to turn organic waste into garden gold through hands-on composting, while junior chefs take over the kitchen at The Nam Hai Cooking Academy, complete with tailored classes just for kids.

Sports enthusiasts can challenge each other across five courts including pickleball, padel, tennis, basketball, and badminton. After working up a sweat, guests can cool off in one of the Resort’s three spectacular pools: the tranquil Olympic-size infinity pool, the energizing lap pool, and the laid-back family pool, complete with cabanas perfect for languid afternoons.

A Cultural Tapestry Unfolds

The Resort offers immersive experiences curated to ignite curiosity and appreciation for Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage. Guests can walk the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An Ancient Town, cast a net alongside local fishermen in a traditional village excursion, or muddy their hands in an authentic wet rice farming adventure.

Guests can craft their own floating memories with a lantern-making workshop or participate in the Gift to the Reef program, where they can learn about Vietnam’s vibrant marine ecosystems. Through WiseOceans, the Resort’s resident marine biologist program, they will have the opportunity to contribute to coral reef restoration efforts and sponsor a coral reef to protect these treasures for generations to come.

Wellness in Every Breath

Rooted in the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnam’s most well-known Zen master, The Heart of the Earth Spa is designed around a tranquil lotus pond and invites guests to rediscover stillness through crystal singing bowl sound therapy, aromatic bathing rituals, and bespoke wellness journeys.

Families can reconnect with Family Yoga and Children of the Earth mindfulness sessions designed just for young guests. Whether it’s a guided meditation by the sea or a spa treatment tailored for little ones, every offering honours the art of holistic well-being.

In addition to its regular spa offerings, the Spa also welcomes a selection of Visiting Practitioners, each bringing their unique expertise and approach to wellness. This summer, the Resort will feature two distinguished practitioners:

  • Hafsa Khan (June 1–15, 2025): A holistic practitioner dedicated to facilitating deep healing for those seeking relief from pain and trauma.
  • Judy Xu (July 1–10, 2025): Founder of Balance Health, a natural health clinic offering alternatives to conventional treatments, Judy creates holistic solutions that facilitate deep emotional transformations and the rediscovery of inner peace and purpose in life.
