The best places to relax and recharge in South-East Asia

Tia Wellness Resort, Vietnam

If you’re starting your Vietnam holiday in one of the gateway cities, your first impression may be one of a fast-paced and frenetic country. But away from the built-up locales there are plenty of tranquil pockets, from the emerald hill stations of Sapa to the boutique spa retreats scattered along golden coastlines. In Danang, you’ll find TIA Wellness Resort, Asia’s first ever spa-inclusive resort. As part of your stay, you can choose two daily spa treatments from an extensive menu (we love the Himalayan heart stone therapy) and join in breathwork masterclasses and yoga sessions. The food is on par with their healthy ethos and there are a wide range of nutritious plant-based dishes and fresh fruit smoothies, as well as the freedom to eat breakfast anywhere, anytime you like. For an unforgettable day out, get a taste of rural life on a countryside cycling adventure before returning to the serenity of your private pool villa.
