The picturesque Vietnamese town of Hoi An – a UNESCO World Heritage site – will play host to a new Tai Chi-themed wellness resort when the Alma Courtyard Hoi An debuts at the end of August. The resort will be operated by Serenity Holdings – which as well as Alma, boasts the Fusion Resorts, A La Carte and M2Boutique Hotels brands – and follows the recent launch of the Fusion Maia resort in nearby Da Nang.
With Vietnam’s wellness sector forecast to grow by 16 per cent annually over the next five years, the country is fast becoming a hotbed of development, with a number of international operators eager to set up shop along its stunning coastlines.
Alma Courtyard Hoi An aims to offer a complete journey for mind, body and soul. All guests receive a daily ‘My Chi’ wellness journey to balance the body’s vital energy or “chi”, including a steam and sauna, choice of massage, Tai Chi energy movement and meditation practice. Intuitive local therapists will use 100 per cent local and natural spa products at the resort’s holistic spa, which comprises 42 treatment rooms – 14 double and 28 single – as well as a poolside juice bar, gym, yoga studio and beauty salon.
Elsewhere, the 144-bedroom aims to showcase the flavours of Hoi An’s French-infused cuisine. The Four Plate Restaurant features four interactive demonstration kitchens to help guests become acquainted with a variety of local foods, while the Blue Bottle Bar features an array of exotic beverages made using local fruits and spices.
