 Namia River Retreat 

Reset mode: on

A soulful riverside retreat where every villa comes with its own pool and Hoi An is just moments away.

Namia River Retreat is Hoi An’s slow-down-and-smile hideaway: a wellness-inclusive riverside retreat where private pool villas, Vietnamese herbology, and nourishing local flavours come together beautifully. Start the day with mindful movement, drift into herbal steam and traditional therapy, hop on a river shuttle to Old Town, then return for cocktails, seafood, and Thu Bon River views. Three nights is the sweet spot here — enough time to spa, explore, and still do absolutely nothing by your pool.

Why we love Namia River Retreat

  • It’s all pool villas, all the way. Choose peaceful nipa palm views or direct Thu Bon River views, with open-plan interiors, sunken bathtubs, terraces, and your own private pool

  • Wellness is included, not added on. Each night brings a 90-minute wellness journey, combining hydrotherapy and traditional therapy, with Lumina Wellbeing & Spa putting Vietnamese herbology beautifully in the spotlight

  • The location gives you the best of both worlds: a calm riverside retreat on Cồn Ba Xã Islet, with Hoi An’s Old Town just a river shuttle away

  • Daily experiences add real soul, from paddling around the islet to sunset cruises, countryside bicycle trails, and artisan-led moments that bring Hoi An to life

Lumina Wellbeing & Spa is the retreat’s feel-good centrepiece. Facilities include two traditional apothecaries, eight herbal steam rooms, indoor relaxation lounges, single and double treatment rooms, a river-view terrace with sauna and cold plunge, indoor movement studios for yoga and fitness, and outdoor salas for meditation and yoga. Treatments draw on Vietnamese herbology, with Dien Chan facial reflexology, Vietnamese massage, cupping, and personalised herbal rituals designed to de-stress the body and ease the mind.

Namia’s community-minded philosophy shows through its local sourcing, artisan touches, Vietnamese coffee and spices, sustainable wines, and experiences that connect guests with Hoi An’s culture and community.

Although it’s a wellness-first retreat, families are still welcome here and will find themselves right at home in the two-bedroom villas with king and twin bedrooms, indoor lounge, outdoor dining area, and private pool. Days can be as gentle or as adventurous as you like, with bicycles, paddling, river shuttles, and sunset cruises adding easy memory-making moments.
