The Nam Hai, a luxury resort hotel in Central Vietnam, Unveils New Kids Activities Club to Enhance the Ultimate Family Vacation Retreat.

The Nam Hai has already gained worldwide renown for its architecture and is now putting the final touches on a structure to astound children.

The Nam Hai, which last year won 'World's Best Resort' in Travel + Leisure's annual Design Awards competition, draws the curtains back on a kids-only, 100-square-meter play villa on July 13.

With silk lanterns, terracotta flooring, timber columns and a pitched roof of flat tiles, the Activities Club was built and styled to look like an ancient Hue garden house. Inside, however, children can expect to find things they know and love — foosball and ping pong tables, big-screen TV movies, books, puzzles, board and video games, arts and crafts.

Recreational consultant Ryan Ford has created daily programs — for 4 to 6 year-olds and 7 to 12 year-olds — that start and end at the facility, but in between take in beach excursions, sporting competitions and swimming pool games under the supervision of qualified hotel staff.

Depending on day of the week, the older group also gets to participate in afternoon treasure hunting, baking and cooking, kite making, Vietnamese language and art learning or water balloon fighting.

Situated on 35 hectares of landscaped tropical gardens overlooking the East Sea, The Nam Hai is an exclusive, all-villa property featuring 60 one-bedroom villas and 40 pool villas ranging from one to five bedrooms, each with its own infinity pool. Signature features of The Nam Hai include two gourmet restaurants; a tropical spa beside a lagoon; three beachfront swimming pools, including one temperature-controlled; and an 18-hole golf course (The Montgomerie Links Vietnam) opening in August 2009. Since opening in December 2006, The Nam Hai has established a reputation as one of the hottest resorts anywhere.

The villas were modeled on the traditional residences of central Vietnam, known as nha ruong, but they have been creatively re-interpreted to accommodate modern technologies and amenities.

Activities Club registration is from 8 a.m. until 8:20 a.m. daily. Programs for both age groups conclude at 6 p.m. Set lunches are also available.

To coincide with the opening of the Activities Club, The Nam Hai is offering a 'Family Summer Retreat' featuring guided tours at World Heritage sites, sunrise fishing with locals, beach BBQs, sporting activities, cocktail parties and movie nights.

The five-star resort is a member of the prestigious The Leading Small Hotels of the World and Virtuoso.
