Vietnam's most luxurious resort, The Nam Hai, Hoi An has launched an indulgent new spa menu at its award-winning sanctuary for relaxation and renewal of body, mind and spirit.

Inspired by the healing traditions of the East, unique new treatments are highlighted by The Nam Hai Indulgent Oriental Ritual. The three hour pampering ritual includes an aromatherapy foot polish, Jade Massage designed to dissolve deep muscle tension and soothe the spirit under the hands of two therapists, Traditions D'Orient Organic Facial, Asian Style Foot Massage, Himalayan Crystal Body Polish and Oriental Bathing Ritual.

Embracing Eastern philosophy, Asian inspired spa rituals available at The Nam Hai also originate from the healing traditions of places such as exotic Bali, spiritual India and the sacred land of Tibet.

These include exotic treatments such as a traditional Vietnamese massage combining massage and pressure point work to balance the flow of "chi"; Indian ayurvedic rituals with warmed therapeutic oils; Balinese palming, stretching, effleurage and pressure point techniques; Himalayan 'hot stone' massage and Thai-style foot reflexology.

Romantic bathing rituals are also among pampering options where guests can luxuriate in a bath strewn with flowers and infused with aromatherapy oils and Himalayan bath salts, or frankincense & sweet orange in an ‘Arabian ceremony’, or love potion and rose petals in a 'Love Bath Ceremony' complete with Champagne and canapés.

Reviving body polish rituals including an Omega 3 Body Polish, nurturing envelopment ritual such as Ayurvedic Healing Envelopment featuring a walnut and cardamom oil body polish, warm cocoon of purifying neem, conditioning gotu kola and neem mask head massage and cleansing facial and rejuvenating beauty rituals including facials, eye treatments, waxing, manicure and pedicures are also on the new spa menu, along with an extensive range of therapeutic massages ranging from The Nam Hai Jade Massage to Thai Style Foot Reflexology.

The state-of-the-art spa at the 5-star resort on Vietnam's famous China Beach has been nominated as One of the World’s Top New Spas by Conde Nast Traveller US, and among the world’s Top 75 Spas by Conde Nast Traveller UK.

The new spa concept was developed by Brenda Ramen, GHM Corporate Director of Spa, with the signature collection of rituals and spa products inspired by her travels throughout Asia.

The Spa is the "ultimate for relaxation and rejuvenation combining a luxurious environment with superior quality botanical based products and graceful therapists with magic hands", Brenda said.
