HOI AN, VIETNAM
NAMIA RIVER RETREAT
Where the flow of the river meets five-star stillness
About Namia River Retreat
A private-island retreat on the Thu Bon River
Namia River Retreat sits on Côn Ba Xã Islet, a sliver of land in the Thu Bon River just outside the ancient town of Hoi An. Sixty private pool villas face either the river or the nipa palm forest, and every stay includes a daily wellness journey rooted in Southern Vietnamese herbology, guided by the in-house Herbologist. The resort is arranged across the Craft, River and Light Villages, each connected to the old town by shuttle boat, keeping Hoi An close without ever feeling intrusive.
