What About Vietnam - S5-E26 - Wellness Tourism in Vietnam – A Fresh Take from Hoi An

Reach out via email - I'd love to hear from you

If you've ever felt put off by wellness retreats that seem more like boot camps — all strict schedules, silent meals, and mandatory sunrise yoga — then this episode is for you.

Join me as I broadcast from the tranquil grounds of Namia River Retreat in Hoi An, where wellness takes on a much more inclusive, luxurious, and deeply personal meaning. In this episode, I sit down with Michelle Ford, GM of Namia and CEO of Lumina Wellbeing, and Dien Pham, Director of Sales and a holistic wellness practitioner in her own right.

Together, we unpack what wellness travel really looks like in Vietnam — and why it's gaining serious momentum.

We talk:

  • Why Hoi An is fast becoming a wellness destination (think: beach TRX, vitamin C IV drips, traditional herbal therapy, and no-fuss spa treatments that actually relax you)
  • The evolving post-pandemic demand for retreats that prioritise well-being without the rigidity
  • What makes Namia’s approach to wellness more about "Inclusive wellness" and less about rules
  • Why travellers are sleeping better here — and not just because of the mattresses
  • And how Vietnam is carving out its own path in wellness tourism, distinct from its Southeast Asian neighbours

Whether you’re curious about #wellness travel, craving a proper reset, or just want to explore Vietnam in a way that nourishes your mind and body — this episode has something for you.

Tune in now to hear how Vietnam is redefining retreat life — without the hard edges.
