, The Nam Hai
Villa-only beachfront resort. Deeply rooted in Vietnamese culture, design, and wellness philosophy. Calm and unhurried — the whole property is built around 'thong dong,' a Vietnamese way of moving through life with ease and no urgency. Five restaurants, three pools, eight overwater spa pavilions, and 15+ free cultural activities means there's always something to do. But nobody's rushing you.
Pool villa guests receive complimentary round-trip airport transfers and a dedicated personal attendant — worth factoring into the price comparison with standard villas
Why It Matters
Forbes Five-Star for eight consecutive years. 2 Michelin Keys. Named Best Global Wellness Resort of the Year at SpaChina 2025, and Best Spa Resort in Vietnam by The Luxury Spa Edit Global Spa Awards 2026. The only villa-only resort in this stretch of central Vietnam — no standard rooms, ever. The Heart of the Earth Spa's eight overwater treatment pavilions sit above a lotus pond. And three UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Hoi An, My Son Sanctuary, Imperial Hue) are all within 1-2 hours.
Vietnam's central coast has had a serious glow-up, and this Forbes Five-Star resort is a big reason why. A villa-only property sitting directly on Ha My Beach, every unit comes with its own thatched-roof dining pavilion, tropical garden, and in the case of pool villas, a private infinity pool. The architecture earns its keep — each villa draws from Central Vietnamese garden home traditions (locally called 'nha vuon'), with large timber frames, pitched tile roofs, and gossamer bed nets that glow like lanterns at night. It's genuinely rooted in place, not just decorated with rattan and lanterns.
