The Indochine
Soul
From the imperial heart of Hanoi, through the emerald stillness of Halong Bay, to the river sanctuary of Hoi An — a mindful odyssey across Vietnam's three most evocative landscapes.
A quiet luxury, unhurried — across three sanctuaries.
This curated journey weaves three of Vietnam's most iconic destinations into a single, seamless thread. One night at the newly opened Fairmont Hotel Hanoi. One night aboard the Bhaya Soul Cruise, drifting through Halong & Lan Ha Bay. Two nights at the riverside Namia River Retreat in Hoi An.
A mindful five-day passage connecting the capital's imperial heritage, the emerald stillness of the bay, and the serene riverbanks of the south - through three distinguished, contemporary luxury properties.
Three legendary names.
One quiet collaboration.
For the first time, three of Vietnam's most refined hospitality sanctuaries come together to choreograph a single, seamless retreat - imperial city, emerald bay, and river sanctuary, woven into one elegant arc.

Five days, measured in stillness.
The Imperial Awakening
Begin your retreat in the heart of the capital. Settle into Vietnam's first Fairmont — a quiet, elegant haven above the city's vibrant pulse, conceived as a masterful tribute to the grandeur of the Tran Dynasty.
Drift through Cirua Bathhouse — Hanoi's first luxury thermal sanctuary — then wander the lantern-lit edges of Hoan Kiem Lake at your own unhurried pace.
The Emerald Flow
Leave the capital's energy behind for the silent majesty of the sea. A private luxury transfer carries you to Bhaya Cruise Center, where the Bhaya Soul — TIME's Top 100 Greatest Places 2026 — awaits.
Kayak the sheltered lagoons of Ba Ham Lake, surrender to a herbal foot ritual on deck, and end the evening with a guided 'sleep well' meditation beneath the stars.
Mindful Departures
Begin with a walking meditation deep inside Tien Ong Cave, then linger over a final nourishing brunch as the Bhaya Soul glides back to harbor.
A private car ensures a seamless transfer to Noi Bai. After a short domestic flight to Da Nang, your chauffeur guides you south to the final, tranquil chapter of your retreat.
The River Sanctuary
Awaken on your private islet in the Thu Bon River. Ease into your daily 90-minute wellness journey — a 30-minute herbal steam followed by a 60-minute bespoke therapy rooted in Vietnamese herbology.
As the sky turns gold, sip cocktails on the river — or trace the lantern-lit streets of ancient Hoi An by shuttle boat or bamboo bicycle.
A Graceful Departure
Savour a final morning of riverside stillness — an unhurried, all-day breakfast beside your private pool, or one last walk through the lush Nipa palm gardens.
When you are ready, your chauffeur returns you to Da Nang International Airport — not merely with memories, but with the lasting echo of the Indochine soul.
A retreat choreographed for stillness.
The Cirua thermal bathhouse in Fairmont Hotel Hanoi. A 60-minute herbal foot ritual aboard the Bhaya Soul Cruise in Halong Bay. A guaranteed 90-minute Vietnamese wellness journey per day, on the islet at Namia River Retreat Hoi An. Gentle, deliberate - designed to return you to yourself.
A cinematic prelude to your retreat.
Glimpses of the journey ahead — the emerald bay at dawn, steam rising from Cirua, river light filtering through the Nipa palms.
Three landscapes, one breath.
Filmed across the imperial quarters of Hanoi, the sheltered lagoons of Halong - Lan Ha, and the river islet of Namia River Retreat in Hoi An — a quiet, unhurried portrait of the retreat that awaits.
