Beachside bliss: The Nam Hai, Hoi An, Vietnam

Beside legendary China Beach, The Nam Hai is a seaside shrine to design in central Vietnam. Its 100 opulent-yet-zen ocean-view villas will seduce you with net-canopied platform beds and freestanding eggshell-lacquered baths opening onto private gardens and outdoor rain showers. Beachfront Villas are particularly alluring, offering instant beach access. Dive in or just watch the waves from the resort's three sleek pools. For more aquatic relaxation, the spa's overwater pavilions extend above a peaceful lotus pond.
