When Heritage Is Reimagined Through Contemporary Experiences
The appeal of a destination is shaped by many layers of value. Heritage provides the foundation, while contemporary experiences sustain its attractiveness and inspire visitors to return. Around the world, heritage cities with lasting appeal—such as Kyoto (Japan), Florence (Italy), Bruges (Belgium), and Lijiang (China)—have not sought to reinvent themselves by creating entirely new identities. Instead, they enrich their cultural character through modern experiences built upon local traditions, from hospitality and gastronomy to art, architecture, and community life.

Heritage is the foundation upon which Hoi An continues to write new stories.
Hoi An is following the same path. The ancient town is neither frozen in time nor compelled to change in order to feel new. Its vitality comes from extending the values it already possesses, allowing every destination, tourism experience, and public space to become another chapter in the evolving story of this culturally rich city.
Beyond its iconic symbols—the Ancient Town, the Japanese Covered Bridge, the Hoai River, yellow walls draped with bougainvillea, and moss-covered tiled roofs—Hoi An's enduring charm also lies in the way visitors connect with and experience the destination. This is the very philosophy embraced by NHAAN Resort & Spa Hoi An, which offers a hospitality experience deeply rooted in the local identity.
NHAAN Tells a Story of "Coming Home"
While the Ancient Town preserves the memories of Hoi An's heritage, NHAAN presents another dimension of the destination—one expressed through architecture, landscape, and authentic experiences. Rather than pursuing distinction for its own sake, the resort begins with a more fundamental question: How can every guest truly feel that they belong here?

NHAAN tells Hoi An's story through the language of architecture, nature, and the emotion of "coming home."
The name NHAAN combines the Vietnamese words "Nhà" (Home) and "An" (Peace), reflecting the experience the resort seeks to create: one that is familiar, peaceful, and deeply connected. More than simply a resort, NHAAN is envisioned as a "second home" within the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage destination—a place where guests experience the comfort of returning to somewhere they truly belong.

Open Spaces Connecting Guests with the Native Landscape
Its spirit is carefully woven into every layer of the resort by Dat Phuong Group, from architecture that harmonizes with nature to the presence of native vegetation such as nipa palms and areca trees. Water features, natural materials, earthy tones, and open spaces designed to welcome sunlight and fresh breezes all contribute to an atmosphere that reflects the essence of Hoi An.
Nestled along the Co Co River, beside the Bay Mau nipa palm forest in the tranquil Cam Thanh village, and only minutes from Hoi An Ancient Town, NHAAN offers a retreat where guests can slow down, reconnect with nature, and embrace the gentle rhythm of life that defines this heritage destination.

Every design detail is thoughtfully crafted to evoke familiarity, serenity, and a genuine sense of belonging.
This approach also echoes the enduring spirit of the Kim Bong artisans, who have preserved traditional craftsmanship while continually embracing innovation, enriching Hoi An's cultural legacy through generations.
Featuring 174 guest rooms, four distinctive restaurants, and a Hilton-standard spa, NHAAN Resort & Spa Hoi An will officially open on 31 July. The project marks Dat Phuong Group's first venture into the hospitality sector while extending its long-standing philosophy of sustainable development—creating places where people, nature, and local identity exist in harmony. It is also the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton resort in Southeast Asia.

Every touchpoint has been thoughtfully designed to create a complete and meaningful hospitality journey.
Ultimately, what NHAAN aspires to create is an identity that cannot be replicated—one distilled from nature, culture, architecture, and the spirit of Hoi An itself. The true value of the resort is measured not only by what guests experience during their stay, but by what remains with them long after they leave. A sense of calm. A feeling of warmth. And whenever Hoi An comes to mind, the memory of a place that feels just like home.
