Namia River Retreat

Report Abuse

Description

Namia is a wellness-inclusive resort sitting on the river outside Hoi An’s old town, where the nightly rate covers two spa treatments per day – massages, acupressure, herbal mud, take your pick. The private pool villas are new, immaculate, and come with bicycles, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to get to town without flagging down a driver at 8am.

The food is good for a resort restaurant, which is usually where these places fall apart. The banana leaf-baked fish gets specific praise from guests, and breakfast runs long and excessive in the best possible way. Personal hosts like Duyen, Thao, and Quynh are consistently named in reviews – this is the kind of place where one person manages your entire stay and answers on WhatsApp.

This suits people who want to actually decompress rather than just sleep somewhere expensive. The wellness angle is built into the rate, not bolted on as an upsell, which changes how the whole stay feels.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Ask your personal host to book the banana leaf-baked fish for dinner on your first night - it books up and it's the best thing on the menu.
Pros
'- Personal hosts (Duyen, Thao, Quynh mentioned repeatedly) who handle bookings, plan changes, and activity coordination via WhatsApp
- Two daily spa treatments included in the rate - massage, acupressure, herbal mud, and more
- Private pool villas that are new and well-maintained, with bicycles included
- Breakfast described as exceptional, with a wide spread that goes well beyond the standard buffet
Cons
'- At this price point (around 15 million VND per night), at least one reviewer found the Vietnamese on the resort's own website poorly translated - a small but telling detail about priorities
- The riverside location means you're not walking to the old town easily; you'll be relying on the shuttle or your bicycle
Best For
Couples, Splurge, Date night
