Life Resort Hoi An

Located just on the edge of Hoi An’s old town, the Life Resort’s riverside location is ideal. Large enough to provide spacious grounds and a relaxed atmosphere, the resort is around five minutes walk from Hoi An’s centre. Using the Life Resort as your base, discover the delights of the historic old town, passing by many lovely restaurants and tailors en route.

Although the resort is newly built, the courtyard style design is elegant and reminiscent of classic colonial architecture and is very much in keeping with the historic flavour of Hoi An. Rooms are simple, minimalist and chic, with a contemporary blend of wood furnishings and white colours. Rooms are split level, with a lower balcony area and a higher sleeping area. In front of each room, there is also a small outdoor seating area.

The resort’s spa is wonderful, offering massages and facials, as well as Tai Chi and Chinese herbal medicine, in keeping with the Life Resorts’ wellness theme.

The lovely restaurant serves one of Vietnam’s best breakfasts as well as delightful Asian fusion cuisine. The riverside bar is a fabulous place for a sundowner after your day’s explorations. Thanks to the resort’s riverside location, guests may board one of the hotel’s boats for a lovely late afternoon ride on the Thu Bon River. River based exploration of the area offers a different perspective – men fishing with huge nets and ladies with conical hats doing their laundry in the river. This is a magical way to see the real Hoi An.
