Heaven on Earth

Please allow me to introduce you to, quite possibly, heaven on earth.

A little place called The Nam Hai, our humble abode for 6 days while we were in Hoi An.

As you drive down the winding lane leading from the busy main road, the rest of the world falls away. The motorbikes, the people, the honking horns...all silenced.

You pull up to the concierge, where a team of people are waiting to collect your bags and whisk you away to check in...


With room key in hand and yoga schedule in your bag, take a walk around the back of the reception building (before you go too far, make sure you turn around and take in the view behind you...)


And make your way down to the pool area (take your pick of three pools - or the ocean if thats your thing)...


Oh hello, lap pool


And finally you make it to the main pool and sun deck area...



Just a little bit further now and you'll come to the beach (again, don't forget to take in the view behind you)...

After admiring the two restaurants, the bar, the library and the gift shop on your way back from the beach, a nice man with a golf cart (the 8 seater big golf carts, not the wimpy 2 seaters ones) will be there to whisk you off to your private villa...



You might marvel at the raise bed, ensuring the perfect view from sunrise to sunset. Or you might immediately curl up on the couch...



And enjoy the view...


Or head out to your patio, and enjoy the other view...


 On your way back inside - - oh hello!


Draw open the intricately carved doors...


To find your bathroom (which is bigger than my first apartment in NYC, hands down). And finally, open the french doors leading out to the best part of the whole villa...


By this point you are probably starving. There has been so much to take in, so many wonderful views - you really should eat something.

Head back to the main hotel (you can either walk along the beach, along the foot path or feel free to call that nice man with the golf cart) and grab an afternoon snack at the beach cafe.



If you are going to visit heaven on your honeymoon (which many of the guests are), you might find a little surprise waiting for you back at your villa...



Before you drift off to dream world, I highly encourage you to mingle with the other guests (don't worry,  you don't have to see them ever again if you don't want to) and grab a night cap at the hotel bar...


And continue to take in the views.


*not a paid advertisement by The Nam Hai. They have no idea who I am, unless they check their guest records. And hopefully they will get to know me over time - we loved it here SO much, we are trying to figure out how to return here as often as possible!*
