Four Seasons Resort

The Nam Hai HOI AN, VIETNAM

An idyllic sanctuary that pairs traditional Vietnamese healing rituals with modern approaches to wellbeing, the Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An is a go-to for serenity seekers.

Located on the unspoiled shores of China Beach, its complex of gorgeous villas, palm-lined gardens, and adjacent ocean offer serious visual appeal. But there’s more to this wellness getaway than just good looks. The Nam Hai actually offers one of the most extensive yoga programs you’ll find.

Daily complimentary yoga classes range from basic Hatha, through to spinefocused grounding yoga, yoga nidra to promote physical, mental and emotional relaxation, yin yoga to enhance endurance, and there’s even yoga sessions designed to target the eye muscles. Complimentary classes are also bolstered by a range of private yoga options, including Vinyasa and anti-gravity ‘flying’ yoga, in which practitioners are suspended in hammocks above the ground.

Take your fit-cation up a notch with the dedicated Wellness Recharge package, which includes healthy meals, private aerial yoga and a two-hour-long indulgent top-to-toe spa treatment. fourseasons.com
