The concept of Naman Retreat is to provide physical and mental therapy for long-stay guests through environmentally friendly design and wellness activities such as spa, yoga, and beach sports. To achieve the best spatial atmosphere for guests to enjoy ultimate purification and rest, the resort is designed as a harmonious whole of greenery, natural stone, and bamboo. On this three-hectare site, the design brief was to build eight residences, a hotel, six VIP villas, and another twenty villas. Two roads connecting to the beach are lined with various service facilities and bring fresh sea breezes to the interior spaces. Trees are planted along the roads, and bamboo is planted beneath the roofs like private curtains, serving the precious time guests spend there. The central space is a large open area divided by bamboo into lounge, restaurant, and bar spaces. VIP beach villas are located directly facing the sea and are planned in an unconventional manner. Each beach villa is surrounded by continuous green roofs and bamboo-textured walls, creating unobstructed sea views without feeling exposed. The project by Vo Trong Nghia Architects creates a resort that is deeply integrated with its tropical environment, using natural materials and lush landscaping to blur the boundary between building and nature.
