Focusing on wellness, sustainability, and nature, TIA Wellness Resort is a vegan-friendly retreat situated between the bustling port city of Da Nang and the charming UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hội An. Conveniently situated in the Hòa Hải part of Đà Nẵng, this property puts you close to attractions and interesting dining options.
TIA, which means ‘ray’ (of light) in Vietnamese. Its unique setting allows visitors to veer away from overly crowded resorts and reconnect, breaking the hustle and bustle of their fast-paced lives with the tranquility of mother nature. Allowing guests to re-connect with nature, the property is only 4 minute’s walk from My Khe Beach, a 7-minute walk from Bac My An Beach, and is conveniently close to natural sights including Hoa Nghiem Cave (Động Hoa Nghiêm), and The Marble Mountain (Ngũ Hành Sơn).
Marble Mountain, also called Non-Nuoc Mountains, is the most famous mountain in Da Nang. The mountains include five mounts named after five elements in Wu Xing (or Five Elements): Kim Son, Moc Son, Thuy Son and Tho Son. Of the five mounts, Thuy Son is the largest and most beautiful with a wide range of pagodas and caves. Hoa Nghiem Cave is located in Thuong Thai, the highest peak of Thuy Son. The surrounding area of Hoa Nghiem Cave consists of many attractive places such as Huyen Khong Cave and Tam Thai Pagoda.
Hoa Nghiem Cave is a small stone cave that is quite antique and peaceful. The gate leading to the interior of Hoa Nghiem Cave is called Huyen Khong Quan. In the name, “Huyen” means magnificent, “Khong” is space, and “Quan” is a gate. Huyen Khong Quan is the gate opening a magnificent space inside Hoa Nghiem Cave with a combination of light, dark, fauna, and rocks.
The resort features eighty-seven private pool villas, ranging in size from one to three bedrooms, radiate from a 22-room wellness center at the heart of the property. Here you can indulge guilt-free with the finest vegetarian and vegan dishes. The resort also recently launched Vietnam’s first and only fully organic and biodynamic, sustainable wine list that features over 40 different varieties from around the world.
TIA Wellness resort has created more comprehensive wellness stay possibilities with the introduction of ‘Wellness Inclusive’ and ‘Retreat Inclusive’ stay options. Wellness guests benefit from two spa therapies per day in addition to a range of wellness activities including yoga, Tai Chi, and breathwork classes. A personal wellness guide ushers Retreat guests through their stay on a customized program that includes all the Wellness offerings, along with full board plant-based meals and more specialized retreat therapies, which are only available for retreat guests.
Each personalized stay falls under one of two pillars, known as Stillness and Splash. The first is focused on cultivating inner stillness and self-connection, and the latter helps guests to make a creative splash and embrace self-expression. Daily creativity workshops, which are new to the property, are core to both offerings and help guests express and release emotions and feelings through guided art activities.
To ensure guests’ healthy habits extend beyond their time on site, the resort has been developing a custom-built app for the last 12 months and is set to debut it in April this year. The app acts as a digital wellness guide that guests can initiate prior to arrival, follow during the stay and transition within the afterglow. The app also functions as a concierge to customize the wellness experience.
In 2023 the resort’s poolside gym will undergo a full renovation to further embody the Stillness and Splash concepts. A new 100-square-meter gym will be added to create two spaces, for Stillness and Splash endeavors. The class schedule will expand to include a more physical, heart-pumping practice to complement the current selection of yoga, breathwork, Tai Chi and creativity classes designed around self-inquiry, which are held each day and open to all guests.
All 60 well-being therapists are trained in Reiki, an energy healing practice originally from Japan, and bring a holistic approach to the extensive range of therapies including singing bowl healing, meridian-point treatments, soothing and de-stressing aromatherapy massages, warm Himalayan heart stone therapy, nourishing wraps using local ingredients, and cleansing scrubs and facials.
The property’s Nourish concept includes inventive cuisine with around half of all dishes available consisting of nutritious plant-based options. TIA offers guests the choice of two dining outlets, as well as all-day breakfast and in-room dining. All menus have been developed around the concept of “Eat Light, Feel Bright,” reflecting how food choices impact how an individual feels. Menu items are scored with a rating from 1 to 10 with those lower on the scale consisting of nutrient-rich dishes that support greater vitality and help with digestion and mood.
Wellness Inclusive bookings start from USD 470 per night and include a private pool villa with an all-day breakfast, two wellness therapies per night (per person), a creative workshop with TIA tea, a breathwork master class, and activities including Tai Chi and yoga. Retreat Inclusive stays are offered for a minimum of three nights and feature everything included in a Wellness booking in addition to the full board with a plant-based meal plan and a private consultation and a personal TIA wellness guide.
