In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to design a wellness trip that brings you back to balance - physically, mentally, and soulfully.
A rare intersection of sea, rice fields, and the heart of old town
Unlike other tourist-heavy cities, Hội An moves to a quieter rhythm. Here, nature and heritage blend beautifully. Within just a few kilometers, you can go from the wide, breezy shores of An Bàng Beach, through emerald rice fields, and into the golden stillness of the ancient town. This seamless connection - between sea and soil, past and present - makes Hội An an ideal place to pause, rest, and restore your energy.
Where rest becomes a form of renewal
For today’s travelers, a wellness trip is no longer just about catching up on sleep or snapping pretty photos. More and more people are seeking gentle, healing experiences - spaces where they can disconnect in order to truly reconnect with themselves. In the face of work stress, burnout, and digital overload, we often forget: rest isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. A kind of recovery deadline, if you will. And Hội An - with its slow pace, kind landscapes, and quiet authenticity - is the kind of place that holds space for that deep return to balance.
A true wellness trip starts with where you stay. In Hội An, finding a resort that offers both tranquility and modern comfort is key. Here’s what to look for:
If you’re searching for a place that truly allows you to slow down, moodhoian may be just what you need. Located beside the gentle Đò River, this boutique riverside resort offers 44 thoughtfully designed rooms with open-air architecture, surrounded by rice fields and flowing water - creating an atmosphere of stillness and serenity.
Each morning from 6:00 to 7:00 a.m., moodhoian hosts gentle khí công (a Vietnamese practice similar to tai chi) on the open rooftop terrace. Led by caring instructors, you’ll learn to regulate your breath, move your body slowly, and awaken your energy after a restful sleep.
For those dealing with stiff necks and tight shoulders - especially office workers - this practice supports natural joint health and deep relaxation. With wide views of the Đò River, the terrace becomes a sanctuary where you can stretch deeply and feel your energy flow freely.
In the evening at 8:00 p.m., join a Yoga Nidra (guided relaxation meditation) session at moodhoian. This “yoga of sleep” helps you release mental and physical tension. In the soft wind and calming music, you’ll be gently guided inward - toward a deeper sense of calm.
After a few days of rest, you’ll likely begin to feel internal shifts—deeper sleep, a lighter mood, a clearer mind. To nurture that healing, treat yourself to a therapy session at Epiphany Spa, a beloved highlight within moodhoian’s lush garden setting.

Ever feel like some meals on your trip were rushed or overly commercial? A hands-on cooking class lets you reconnect with the essence of a place - through ingredients, stories, and human touch.
The moodhoian’s Hoi An Cooking Class Package includes:
You’ll start by visiting the on-site herb garden, learn to use natural ingredients, and prepare local dishes in a warm, relaxed kitchen. It’s a gentle, inspiring way to experience Hội An from the inside out.
Movement is one of the most natural ways to boost your endorphins. A morning bike ride through Hội An’s countryside - past rice fields, shaded coconut paths, or even a local café - can be surprisingly healing.
moodhoian provides complimentary bicycles for all guests. Try the scenic route to Cẩm Thanh Coconut Village, then stop by 145 Espresso Café or Small Path Coffee - quiet spots beloved by locals, just under 2-km away from moodhoian.
In a world that rarely slows down, quiet moments have become precious. Afternoon tea isn’t just a treat - it’s a chance to meet your inner stillness.
Where to enjoy tea and silence in Hội An:
Moodbistro (3:00–5:00 p.m.): inside moodhoian.
Located within moodhoian, this riverside bistro offers soft pastries, gentle breezes, and the perfect view of the sunset over the river.
Reaching Out Teahouse – 131 Trần Phú Street
A silent teahouse run by hearing-impaired staff. Here, tea is served with sign language, and conversation gives way to presence. A peaceful space for inner reflection.
When you imagine a wellness retreat in Hội An, you might think of many things: nourishing food, deep sleep, gentle movement, or simply sitting still in silence.
But you don’t need a packed checklist. What matters most is having a space that's quiet enough, personal enough, to let yourself pause.
Set just 3-kilometres away from the town center, moodhoian is a riverside resort in Hội An designed with that balance in mind. It offers just the right kind of stillness for you to slow down, rest, and reconnect with the pace of nature.
Let your body and your mind experience what it truly means to rest - the right way - at moodhoian.
