Hoi An, Vietnam

A shrine to high-design on golden Ha My Beach, the Nam Hai is the hippest, sleekest, most effortlessly stylish address in central Vietnam. It’s 100 free-standing villas are widely spaced around artfully landscaped, sea-facing gardens. Dark, tropical woods and egg-shell lacquer infuse a classical Asian feel to the contemporary interiors. For those who can bear to tear themselves away, Hoi An is only a 20-minute minibus ride away.
