Nam Hai Earth Song at Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai, Hoi An
A mesmerising, 150-minute ritual of pure tranquillity, this traditional treatment aligns with the great teachings of Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Believed to bring your inner rhythm in line with the 'song of the Earth', relish a deep detoxifying scrub, a sound and breath breathing ritual and a cooling bath laced with lotus petals and herbs from the resort's farm, followed by a deep pressure massage incorporating balancing gem-tipped tuning forks, before awakening from your state of relaxation to the gentle sound of crystal singing bowls. Spend your post-treatment time savouring the serene stillness of the resort's lotus pond from a plush daybed, before retiring in the sun by the boundless infinity pool or the sand-between-your-toes beach bar on Ha My Beach. If you're left feeling a deep and profound connection to the earth, reap freshly picked produce from Hoi An's market with the resort's resident chef and stir up a storm with a private cookery class, before sitting down to devour your fresh, three-course meal surrounded by Vietnam's naturally alluring scenery.
