Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An is an all-villa beachfront resort at Block Ha My, Dong B, Điện Bàn, Quảng Nam 52000, Vietnam, on Ha My Beach north of Hoi An. Opened as The Nam Hai in 2006 and operating under Four Seasons since December 2016, it combines Vietnamese-inspired architecture with substantial private gardens. Travelers come for spacious villas, three cascading infinity pools, destination dining, and a spa arranged around a lotus pond—not immediate access to the Ancient Town.
What to Expect at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An
The resort’s 100 villas occupy approximately 35 hectares of beachfront grounds. One-bedroom villas suit couples, while pool villas extend to five bedrooms for families and groups. Architect Reda Amalou’s design draws on central Vietnamese garden houses: pitched roofs, timber screens, and indoor-outdoor living spaces frame sea or garden views. Raised sleeping platforms and changes in floor level are distinctive features to consider when choosing accommodation. Pool-villa categories add private swimming pools and dedicated service; confirm the inclusions attached to your particular booking.
Dining spans Vietnamese cooking at La Sen, Indian specialties and international breakfasts at Café Nam Hai, and Japanese omakase at NAYUU. The Nam Hai Cooking Academy introduces regional ingredients and Vietnamese techniques through hands-on classes. At the Heart of the Earth Spa, eight treatment pavilions surround a lotus pond, with crystal singing bowls central to its sound-focused treatments. Beyond the spa are a fitness centre, tennis courts, and the Chuon Chuon children’s club. Vegetarian preferences and food allergies should be discussed before restaurant reservations or cooking classes.
- Three infinity pools: A stepped arrangement leads the eye toward the sea, with distinct spaces for families and quieter swimming.
- Ha My Beach: Direct access to a broad sandy shoreline makes beach walks an easy part of each day.
- Multi-bedroom pool villas: Separate living areas and private pools give extended families more independence than conventional connecting rooms.
- Heart of the Earth Spa: Lotus-pond pavilions and singing-bowl rituals distinguish the treatment experience.
- NAYUU: An intimate Japanese dining option offers a contrasting evening to La Sen’s Vietnamese cooking.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reserve villas early for Christmas, New Year, and Vietnamese Tết, and book NAYUU, spa appointments, and cooking classes before arrival. February through August generally offers better beach weather than the wetter autumn months; rough seas can interrupt swimming. Da Nang International Airport is usually about 30–40 minutes away by car, while Hoi An’s Ancient Town takes roughly 15–20 minutes. Neither the airport nor Da Nang railway station has a direct rail connection to the resort. Arrange a hotel transfer or licensed taxi; drivers can use the resort’s on-site parking.
For immediate outings, Ha My Beach is directly outside, while the lanes of Ha My village offer a short local walk beyond the resort entrance; allow around 5–15 minutes depending on your villa and route. Save Hoi An’s Japanese Covered Bridge and An Bang’s restaurant strip for a separate drive, rather than treating them as walkable neighbors. The expansive grounds make buggy assistance useful, but villa platforms, steps, and beach sand require advance accessibility planning. Ask reservations to identify a suitable room layout and bathroom, and confirm wheelchair-compatible transfers rather than assuming every villa is step-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the resort open, and when should I visit?
The resort operates year-round with 24-hour reception. For beach-focused stays, February through August is generally preferable; early mornings are particularly comfortable for shoreline walks.
How much does a stay cost, and are reservations necessary?
This is a $$$$ resort, with date-specific villa rates available through the official website. Reserve accommodation in advance, check meal and transfer inclusions, and confirm cancellation terms; major cards are accepted.
How long should I stay?
Allow three to five nights for beach time, a spa treatment, and Hoi An excursions. Two nights works for a shorter retreat but leaves less room for cooking classes or weather-related changes.
Is it suitable for families and travelers with limited mobility?
Multi-bedroom villas, the children’s club, and family swimming facilities make it well suited to families. Travelers with limited mobility should discuss villa level changes and bathroom access before booking; buggy transport does not remove every physical barrier.
