The Nam Hai

Hoi An, Vietnam

As much an icon as its legendary location, China Beach boutique hotel The Nam Hai is a spa-equipped designer escape that has become a destination in itself. Beside the South China Sea, between the cultural hubs of Hoi An and Hué, the imperial influence is evident in its opulent-yet-zen ocean-view villas.

• Dress code Don’t forget the designer wear as this place is mode to the max.
• Top table Settle outdoors on a balmy night and try to score E4, a table with both pool and beach views. On honeymoon? Request a private gazebo for a beach barbecue. It'll work wonders for proposals, too.
• Last orders The main Restaurant is open for dinner from 6pm–10.30pm. During the day, the Beach Restaurant takes up the slack and serves lunches and light bites from 11am-5.30pm.
