Beginning of The Namia Stories

Swift flowing river

Water cutting through the earth

Onward to the sea

Nestled on the serene Con Ba Xa Islet and gracefully overlooking the tranquil Thu Bon River in Hoi An, Vietnam, Namia River Retreat invites you on a journey where the essence of local heritage and natural beauty intertwine seamlessly. Welcome to The Namia Story, where each element of our resort reflects a profound respect for its surroundings and a commitment to wellness and tranquility.

The Union Of 3 Islands & 3 Villages

Cồn Ba Xã Islet, the enchanting home of Namia River Retreat, stands as a serene confluence where three islands harmoniously merge into one. This unique setting is more than just a picturesque locale; it symbolizes the unity and balance that the retreat aims to offer. 

 

The islet, with its lush surroundings and gentle river flow, embodies the spirit of connection, where each island’s essence blends seamlessly to create a tranquil oasis. Visitors to Namia River Retreat can experience this natural harmony firsthand, as they discover the retreat’s thoughtful integration with Hoi An’s rustic beauty and cultural richness.

 

“Ba Xã” in Vietnamese means “3 Villages”. At the heart of Namia River Retreat’s philosophy is the essence of three distinct villages: Craft Village, River Village, and Light Village. Each village brings its unique charm and significance into the resort’s design and experience. 

 

–  Craft Village – comprising of the Welcome Lounge, Mia Merchant, Herb Garden, and Boat Dock – showcases artisanal skills and local craftsmanship, enriching the retreat with handmade beauty and tradition. 

 

–  River Village – where Nam Eatery, Main Pool, Kids Zone, and Basket Boats Dock are located – connects guests to the tranquil flow of the Thu Bon River, emphasizing relaxation and natural harmony. 

 

–  Light Village – home to the Spa & Wellness Centre, Yoga & Fitness, Honeymoon Villa, and Mindful Wishing Tree – celebrates the magical glow of Hoi An’s lantern-lit streets and the ritual of light for wellbeing, creating an ambiance of warmth and illumination. 

 

Through this thoughtful integration, the resort ensures that Namia River Retreat offers a holistic experience that reflects the cultural and natural tapestry of its surroundings.

Charming Local Inspirations

The design of Namia River Retreat is deeply inspired by the natural beauty and cultural heritage of our location. Our design story unfolds through three key elements:

 

 

 

1. Nipa Forest: The Connection with Nature

 The Nipa Palm is a vital part of our local ecosystem in Hoi An. In our Nipa Pool Villa, we’ve translated this natural element into a serene space where natural textures and sustainable materials create a soothing atmosphere. The use of nipa palm-inspired décor evokes the calming presence of the surrounding environment.

2. Thu Bon River: The Flow of Tranquility

 Drawing inspiration from the majestic Thu Bon River, our River Pool Villa embodies the serene flow and reflective qualities of the water. The design incorporates gentle curves and flowing lines, creating an ambiance that promotes relaxation and mindfulness.

3. Local Heritage: Embracing Tradition and Culture

Our design also honors the rich cultural tapestry of Central Vietnam. 

Traditional Vietnamese motifs and craftsmanship are subtly woven into modern comforts, ensuring that every corner of our resort tells a story of its own.

Translating Stories into Spaces

The meticulous translation of these stories into our design is evident in the details. These thoughtful translations ensure that every room and space not only tells a story but also immerses you in a narrative of peace and connection.

The Namia Stories Unfold

The beginning of the Namia River Retreat story happens with Mr. Tran Thanh Nam – CEO of HG Holdings – sharing his childhood memories of growing up in the countryside and his vision for bringing Hoi An culture to the world in a new way. With his vision and Lumina Wellbeing’s thoughtful wellness-oriented hospitality approach, an inspiring collaboration emerged.

At Namia River Retreat, we believe that a truly transformative experience lies in the harmony between space and story. As you explore our resort, you’ll discover that every detail is part of a larger narrative that celebrates the beauty of an ancient lantern-lit town and invites you to immerse yourself in its tranquility.

Welcome to The Namia Story, where every moment is a journey toward wellness and serenity.
