Wafaifo Resort Hoi An

What Wafaifo Resort Hoi An does

Wafaifo Resort Hoi An is a privately owned boutique lifestyle resort in Hoi An, Quang Nam province, central Vietnam, that opened in December 2024 as the inaugural project of Wafaifo Hospitality. The property offers 134 design-led rooms and suites across 13 categories rooted in Vietnamese/Indochina interiors, located approximately 1.2 km from the UNESCO World Heritage Hoi An Ancient Town and a 10-minute walk from heritage attractions. The resort is backed by founding partners including Quang Nam Water Drainage Supply Joint Stock Company (via General Director Ngo Duc Trung) and Wafaifo Hospitality Managing Director Pieter van der Hoeven.

The core product integrates accommodation with six distinctive dining venues — XUA & NAY (Central Vietnam's only Josper charcoal-wood grill), COI NGUON (farm-to-table), BANG HUU coffee shop, SWIM CITY CAFE, NEM, and VUONG GIA private dining for 12 — alongside clinical-grade wellness services delivered through the Verita Health Hoi An longevity centre (the first cellular therapy centre in Central Vietnam), a full-service spa with Kerstin Florian and Margaret Dabbs London programmes, a fitness centre, a 25m temperature-controlled saltwater pool, an 8-seat private cinema, a kids' club, and a Heritage & Culture Pathway anchored by a replica of the Japanese Bridge. In September 2025, the resort opened the Royal Garden (Thướng Uyển) luxury enclave, adding 16 premium suites and an upcoming Verita Health VIP Longevity Sanctuary.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model: quote-based accommodation, transaction-based food and beverage, and professional services revenue from wellness, spa, and longevity treatments. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a multilingual website (English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean) with best-rate guarantee, supported by OTAs (TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Trip.com, Hotels.com), travel agents, tour operators, and a press/media engagement programme. Primary customer segments are wellness-focused travellers, couples on romantic getaways, families, and secondary MICE/business travellers. The parent entity Wafaifo Hospitality has also been authorised to provide management and consultancy services to hospitality projects across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand since August 2024.
