SCMP: Da Nang is the hottest new wellness destination
VOV.VN - The South China Morning Post (SCMP) of Hong Kong (China) has named the central city of Da Nang in Vietnam as Asia’s top destination for holistic healing.
According to the article written by Karen Tee, a lifestyle and travel journalist of SCMP, Da Nang is the hottest new wellness destination and boasts resorts such as the Bill Bensley-designed InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort and Tia Wellness Resort.
Tee said that she had travelled to the InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort in search of an escape from the concrete jungle.
“Terraced into a hillside, with rainforest all around and the East Vietnam Sea lapping at its foot, the 10-year-old resort was built to minimise its ecological impact, using local vernacular architecture accessorised with whimsical fixtures and fittings,” she added.
She recommended its new spa, the Mi Sol, which comprises of eight individual spa villas positioned by a tranquil natural lagoon which helps to nurture a sense of solitude.
A meditation session on the beach was also introduced by the journalist.
Tee also suggested that visitors check out the cavernous 43 Factory Coffee Roaster, and explore a slew of other activities, such as enjoying a leisurely cycle through the UNESCO World Heritage-certified old town of Hoi An. Other activities involve an invigorating hike among the Marble Mountains, five limestone peaks harbouring an atmospheric network of caves, tunnels, and pagodas.
She also introduced visitors to Tia Wellness Resort, which was launched as a post-pandemic response to the demand for well-being-centric getaways.
The journalist also mentioned several famous restaurants, including Vietnamese restaurant Citron, Michelin-starred French Restaurant La Maison 1888, and Barefoot.
