Namia River Retreat Unveils Three Signature New Retreats in Hoi An, Vietnam
From rest for the body and a journey inward to romantic time for two, three signature retreats at Namia River Retreat reveal different depths to a restorative stay
Namia River Retreat Wellness-Inclusive Resort is now offering three signature riverside retreats by the tranquil Thu Bon in Hoi An, Vietnam. Located on an islet, Namia River Retreat is just a short distance from Hoi An Ancient Town centre, offering a peaceful abode within easy reach of the town’s main attractions.
The three retreats: Gentle Rest & Reset Retreat, Mindful Recovery Retreat, and The Quiet Romance Retreat all begin with this sense of stillness. Yet each journey holds a specific meaning: allowing the body to rest, turning the attention inward, or creating space for two to be fully present with one another.
Wellness-inclusive Offerings for Peace of Mind
All three signature retreats at Namia carry the resort’s wellness-inclusive offers, featuring gentle movements of Duong Sinh practice to start the day, yoga, or silent walking meditation.
Each day continues with a 90-minute wellness journey at Lumina Wellbeing & Spa, combining 30 minutes of hydrotherapy with a 60-minute traditional Vietnamese therapy. Cultural experiences, leisurely explorations of the riverside landscape and private time by the pool are thoughtfully woven around it.
These experiences are not intended to fill every moment of the day. They offer just enough gentle structure for the body and mind to unwind, before each retreat opens into a different kind of journey.
Gentle Rest & Reset: When the body needs space to rest
Sometimes the body simply needs to rest. Gentle Rest & Reset Retreat is created for guests emerging from a particularly busy period, those who travel frequently, or anyone who has gone too long without taking meaningful time for themselves.
Across three, five or seven nights, guests are free to choose the rhythm of their stay. There is no expectation to join every activity or pursue a dramatic transformation. The morning might begin early, leisurely beside the Thu Bon River, continue with a Duong Sinh practice before breakfast, or simply give way to an afternoon spent lingering by the villa’s private pool.
Herbal foot soaks with reflexology, sound meditation and herbal energy-cleansing workshops are gently woven throughout the retreat. Longer stays allow time for a farm-to-table cooking experience or a visit to one of the traditional craft villages that have long shaped the character of Hoi An.
The Gentle Rest & Reset Retreat creates just enough space for guests who are accustomed to constant movement to soften, wind down, and rediscover their natural rhythm of rest.
Mindful Recovery: When stillness leads inward
Building upon the restful foundation of Gentle Rest & Reset, the Mindful Recovery Retreat offers a more personal journey shaped by individual guidance and wellbeing practices inspired by Thuoc Nam (Vietnamese Herbology).
The retreat is intended for those moving through a prolonged period of stress, approaching an important transition or simply seeking enough time and space to reflect on what they have been carrying.
Each personalised recovery journey begins with a private consultation with a traditional herbal practitioner, followed by restorative therapies drawing upon the knowledge and practices of traditional Vietnamese medicine, designed to support renewed vitality and inner resilience through periods of physical or emotional transition.
A Dien Chan Facial Reflexology workshop incorporating mugwort moxa stick, and a private herbal foot bath ritual bring familiar Vietnamese wellbeing traditions into a contemporary retreat setting. On five- or seven-night journeys, the experience extends to tea and open-hearted conversation, a trip to an organic herb garden, and guided temple visits, accompanied by a Vietnamese wellbeing practitioner.
If Gentle Rest & Reset creates room for the body to rest, Mindful Recovery uses that same stillness to help guests turn their attention inward, to recognise what deserves care and understand what may be ready to be released.
The Quiet Romance: Where love finds its own rhythm
There is joy in being fully present with someone you love. The Quiet Romance Retreat, a four-day, three-night couple retreat, is created for honeymoons, anniversaries, proposals or simply a private escape after months shaped by work and everyday responsibilities.
Wake to gentle river breezes, cycle together beneath swaying nipa palms; and reconnect through Namia's signature Wellness Journey featuring traditional Vietnamese therapies, and a private partner yoga or sound healing session. As the late-afternoon light begins to soften, couples may watch the sunset from the privacy of their villa pool before enjoying an intimate private dinner beside the Thu Bon River or a five-course culinary journey aboard The Merchant River Cruise.
The evening may end with soothing herbal tea or a candlelit Thuoc Nam herbal bath ritual. Fully present with each other, the rest of the night belongs entirely to the two.
The Quiet Romance Retreat is an elegant expression of love inspired by authentic Vietnamese traditions, holistic wellbeing, and the gentle rhythm of riverside living. The kind of wellness retreat for couples that builds deeper, more meaningful connection between the two.
Three signature retreats, three ways to return
Gentle Rest & Reset Retreat guides guests back to the body’s natural rhythm of rest. Mindful Recovery Retreat invites inner healing. The Quiet Romance Retreat brings couples closer together through mindful presence and shared loving joy.
Instead of seeking dramatic changes within only a few days, the retreats give way to gentler, yet noticeable improvements: a night of deep sleep, an afternoon without watching the clock, deeper and slower breaths, or a flowing conversation without interruption.
Gentle Rest & Reset Retreat begins from US$2,415 for one guest or US$2,890 for two guests for three nights. Mindful Recovery Retreat begins from US$2,565 for one guest or US$3,240 for two guests. Both retreats are available for stays until 20 December 2026. The Quiet Romance Retreat begins from US$2,375 per villa for three nights and is available for bookings and stays until 20 December 2027.
