Namia River Retreat - A land of memories in a peaceful life by the Thu Bon River

28/05/2025

Peacefully located on the isolated Ba Xa Islet along the poetic Thu Bon River, Namia River Retreat officially opened in December 2024, becoming the first luxury resort in Hoi An and the only one in Hoi An to own all private pool villas. With the wellness-inclusive model, Namia opens a new way of tourism for the Central region - where visitors immerse themselves in traditional therapies, body and mind care rituals and experience local culture by the river.

LUXURY RIVERBAL RESORT VILLA

The 60 private pool villas at Namia are like tranquil oases, inspired by the pristine beauty of the mangrove forest. With a design that blends natural materials, open spaces inside and outside, and a sunken bathtub overlooking a private pool, each villa is a gentle melody of riverside life. From early morning soaks in the cool water to relaxing moments under the moonlight, Namia's architecture blurs the line between nature and resort.
