Best New Hotels 2008: Nam Hai, Hoi An

The Nam Hai provides an unbeatable double whammy; the unspoiled historic beauty of nearby Hoi An, a must-visit town for any Vietnam traveller, and the indulgent fall-back of a seaside refuge. The bustle of Hoi An takes a back seat once you’re settled in the hotel’s private terraces, stylish personal villas by the beach, or lazing alongside one of several massive pools, palms rustling overhead to a gentle sea breeze. It’s tropical luxury writ large, and possibly the quietest place in this noisy nation. Each villa has uninterrupted beach views, while expansive landscaped terraces, gym and other outdoor facilities overdeliver to the top-end traveller.

We love The breakfast, from elegant renditions of regional Vietnamese dishes to the spread of tropical fruits and Euro standards.

Villas from about $830, www.ghmhotels.com.
