Immersing in the zen-like charm of the Central Vietnam

From UNESCO listed port town of ancient Hoian, Hue’s imperial city to endless coastline of Nha Trang and Da Nang, the Central Vietnam is definitely our favorite region to travel for relaxation. For the past few years, the region has transformed into a luxury world with many newly opened resorts but still has its zen-like charm. In this article, we deliver some of the accommodation choices for those travelers who seek for the harmony between mind, body and spirit.

Vedana Lagoon (Hue)

Solitarily and beautifully nestled on the shore of a peaceful lagoon, it is definitely a retreat for our guests. It’s the first over water villa in Vietnam. The essence of vedana flows into the wellness experiences such as tai chi, yoga, aromatherapy and other spa treatment.

Cat Tuong Quan Zen House (Hue)

A homestay option in a beautiful Vietnamese ancient house to take on your spiritual journey. You will have chance to learn about Vietnamese culture as the stories unfold. And who say travelling means sacrificing your healthy lifestyle? Different activities ranging from healthy eating, cooking to tea time and from yoga, qigong to meditation help you to find the bliss in mind and body. Also, take a chance to have a chit chat about culture, meditation with the yogis and host.

Ancient House Village Resort and Spa (Hoian)

Surrounded by lush garden and rice fields, the resort is a unique fusion of traditional Vietnamese style and modern luxuries. Nothing is better than the pleasant smell of rice while doing meditation and practicing yoga. You can also discover more about the light and fresh cuisine of the central Vietnam during cooking class.

Nam Hai resort (Hoian)

The hotel’s design was inspired from Vietnamese tradition as interpreted by foreigner architects. The architecture is in a perfect harmony with lush gardens and the beach. Take your time to wander around on foot or by free bicycle. It’s the gateway to 3 UNESCO sites (Hoian ancient town, Hue’s imperial city and My Son ruins).

Avani resort and spa (Quy Nhon)

With a low share of tourists, Quy Nhon is the beach escape that you’re looking for. Practice yoga in pristine beach is what I love the most because you not only take in the Mother Nature’s meditation cues: the rhythm of the wave, the sound of wind blow, and even the smell of saltwater but also avoid being the centre of attention. Also, nothing can beat the sea front view, don’t you agree?
