Wellness Escape in Rural Vietnam: Yoga, Spa & Rice Field Views

Naia runs two locations a minute's drive apart. The first, Naia Yoga + Cafe, sits on Tan Thanh Beach and is where the daily yoga classes and meals are served. The second, Naia Spa + Retreat, is where you sleep—a peaceful house surrounded by vegetable gardens and rice paddies, with just three guestrooms, a shared living space, and an outdoor deck. Both are within easy cycling distance of Hoi An's Ancient Town.

The daily rhythm usually looks like this: sunrise yoga on the beach or in the studio, a breakfast of fresh fruit and local dishes, and then a second, slightly deeper practice later in the morning. Afternoons are for spa treatments, reading, swimming, or wandering the rice fields. There's a community class list each week that includes Hatha, Vinyasa, mat Pilates, Yin, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing—so it's not just yoga.

The retreat was started by Huong, a certified nutritionist and yoga teacher from Hanoi. After a health crisis in 2016, she moved to Hoi An, trained in macrobiotic cooking and yoga, and converted her family home into Naia. That personal story gives the place a welcoming, improvised feel. It's not a polished five-star resort with uniform service; it's more like staying with someone who genuinely wants you to relax. Other teachers, like Phuoc Nguyen who holds a 500-hour certificate and runs Love Yoga, lead some of the group classes.

Everything is optional. You can follow the suggested itinerary in the retreat description, which mixes in gentle evening sessions and free time, or you can simply book a class you like and spend the rest of the day as you please. The spa offers a range of body massages, all included as three 90-minute sessions during your stay.
