Turn off from the modern world in a contemporary Spa Lagoon Villa on this serene private peninsula on the Vietnam coastline. Drawing on elements of Chinese medicine, the retreat concentrates on your overall wellbeing with a combination of ancient techniques and spa treatments interspersed with yoga and meditation. Discover your predominant element (wood, fire, earth, metal or water) in a private workshop where experts will use Harnn essential oils to release energy and tension. Then lie on a marble bed for a hammam body cleanse using local black rice and charcoal soap, before an evening meditation session overlooking the monkey-filled forest. The relaxing detox is combined with a menu that is designed to refresh and enhance the body using all local ingredients – including fresh oysters from Nha Trang and red crab with Kailand leaves.
The tree of love: Make the four kilometre trek to the roots of the 1,000-year-old banyan tree, which locals say grants wishes to lovers.
Best by plane: Guests can also make use of the private airport arrival and departure lounge in Danang.
