Ideally
located 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) south of Da Nang and 11 kilometres
(6.8 miles) north of historical city Hoi An in the Central Coast, Four
Seasons Resort The Nam Hai combines spectacular beachfront living with
renowned cultural attractions that reflect the true spirit of Vietnam.
Boasting warm temperatures and exciting festivals year round, Hoi An
welcomes travellers of all types, whether they're looking for
relaxation, romance or family-friendly experiences.
Four Seasons
Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An, Vietnam, rests on a tranquil 1-kilometre
(half mile) stretch of Ha My Beach, just 11 kilometres (7 miles) north
of the UNESCO city of Hoi An in Quang Nam province on Vietnam's central
coast. An ancient trading port, Hoi An had the largest harbour in
Southeast Asia in the 1st century and even opened its own stoneware
kilns in the 15th century to support the growing popularity of the
Japanese tea ritual. Both Christianity and Buddhism found their way to
Vietnam's shores via Hoi An in the 17th century, and today its eclectic
collection of some 87 pagodas, temples and communal houses, and 82
ancient tube-shaped houses - many located on original streets - stand
testament to its vibrant ancient personality.
Da Nang, a modern
burst of energy and increasing exuberance that lines the gleaming Han
riverfront, lies 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) north of the Resort.
Towering hotels, neon-lit bars and trendy restaurants now jostle for
space on its once sleepy streets and the sparkling river is now
criss-crossed by spectacular bridges (including an east and west
connecting swing bridge and fire-breathing Dragon Bridge), yet some
things remain as pristine as ever - namely the gorgeous 32-kilometre
(20-mile) curl of Da Nang Beach.
