Four Seasons Resort Hoi An (The Nam Hai), Vietnam

For: Tranquillity and an absolute wind-down

The property: Between Da Nang and Hoi An, lies the tranquil Four Seasons Resort Hoi An (The Nam Hai). A flight from Hong Kong to Da Nang takes about two hours, and another half an hour by car to reach the resort. Its tranquil setting contrasts with bustling Da Nang, and the old town feel of nearby Hoi An.

Set in a lush coastal patch, the resort boasts several wellness initiatives at its The Heart of the Earth Spa with pavilions surrounding a lake.

Their must-try signature ritual “Nam Hai Earth Song”, is a two-and-a-half-hour treatment that encompasses a sound and breath ritual, Vietnamese scrub and bath (with herbs from their own farm), a deep pressure massage with gem-tipped tuning forks, and a fully immersive sound bath.

Why go: Easy accessibility, short flight time and one of the best sound bath experiences close to Hong Kong.
