Four Seasons Resort the Nam Hai, Hoi An remains the top luxury resort in Vietnam, nestled on a pristine stretch of palm-fringed beach just 15 minutes from the charming old town of Hoi An.
The Four Seasons Nam Hai offers a very high standard of accommodation, with 40 of the resorts 100, luxury designer villas featuring private pools. All villas are set amongst landscaped gardens with views over the South China Sea.
The style is designer-chic and minimalist, with lots of dark granite and black and white furnishings accented by the odd carved wood panel. Villas are very spacious and luxurious but not completely private – they are un-walled.
Inside huge beds look out onto private terraces, designer bathrooms house bathtubs for two and the feel is tropical, modern and elegant, with all mod cons at hand.
The public areas at the Four Seasons Nam Hai reflect strong design elements, with pools, ponds and gardens running down to the beach, flanked by restaurants and some of the villas.
With gourmet restaurants, a great spa and a location so close to Hoi An, there is plenty to keep guests entertained.
The Four Seasons Nam Hai Resort & Spa is arguably the most luxurious hotel in Vietnam.
The villas at Four Seasons Nam Hai are the height of luxury and come with luxurious touches such as Bose sound systems, iPods, the latest DVD releases, luxurious and romantic bathtubs and most importantly – a quality coffee machine.
If comparing to other luxury villa resorts in Vietnam, the Four Seasons Nam Hai is more 'contemporary' and minimalist than Six Senses Ninh Van Bay or Con Dao and in a less isolated location than Princess D'Annam in Mui Ne (and a much higher standard). The location, so close to Hoi An is a real bonus.
Although apparently tailored for couples, the Four Seasons Nam Hai is also popular with families and has some excellent children’s facilities.
The sleek and stylish Four Seasons Nam Hai is a result of the collaboration between Aman Resorts founder Adrian Zecha, interior designer Jaya Ibrahim and French architect Reda Amalou. When Four Seasons took over the resort in 2017, the Four Seasons touch was deftly applied.
