A short weekend escape to Island Smiles, a family-run homestay in Bai Huong village on Cham Island, just off the coast from Hoi An. With hills behind it and the sea next door, it's a safe, peaceful place to step away from busy life and reconnect with yourself.

The weekend is about yoga and mindfulness: time to listen to your body, heart and mind, and to remember how to live more simply and in harmony with nature. Island life sets the pace, with quiet village surroundings, the sea and slow moments to turn inward.

Getting there is part of the trip. Boats leave Cua Dai quay in Hoi An twice a day, or the team can arrange a speedboat for you. You're met at the jetty and taken by small boat or motorbike on a scenic 25-minute ride to Bai Huong village.
