ROYAL GARDEN AT WAFAIFO RESORT HOI AN — WHERE HERITAGE MEETS THE SCIENCE OF LONGEVITY

HOI AN, VIET NAM   – In the heart of Hoi An’s UNESCO-listed Ancient Town, the new Royal Garden – Thượng Uyển at Wafaifo Resort Hoi An marks the emergence of Central Vietnam’s first scientifically-driven longevity and bio-hacking retreat — a sanctuary where the serenity of Vietnamese heritage meets the precision of modern medical innovation powered by Verita Health.

Steeped in the quiet beauty of traditional gardens, shaded pavilions, and lotus-filled courtyards, Royal Garden reimagines the royal sanctuaries of Vietnam’s past as a modern refuge for rejuvenation. Every element — from the design of each suite to the flow of each treatment ritual — is crafted to restore harmony, vitality, and balance from within.

SCIENCE-DRIVEN LONGEVITY IN A HERITAGE SETTING

Guided by Dr Nguyen Viet Cuong (Dr John) and supported by the global medical expertise of Dr Abdulla El Hossami and the Verita Healthcare Group, guests at Royal Garden embark on fully personalised wellness pathways rooted in precision diagnostics and evidence-based care.

Each journey begins with a comprehensive health assessment, which may include epigenetic testing to evaluate cellular health and biological age. From these insights, a bespoke program is designed to align with individual health goals, integrating advanced therapies such as:

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (2.0 ATA) for deep cellular regeneration

  • Floatation Therapy for nervous-system restoration and mindfulness

  • Infrared Sauna & Red-Light Therapy for circulation and skin rejuvenation

  • Ice Bath Therapy to enhance immunity and reduce inflammation

  • Personalised IV Infusions with NAD+, Glutathione, and essential micronutrients

  • Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance aligned with longevity science

  • NuCalm Sleep Enhancement to optimise rest and recovery cycles

Each program is developed and overseen by Dr John, ensuring every guest experiences a holistic and scientifically grounded approach to wellbeing.

PRIVATE SANCTUARIES OF SPACE AND SERENITY

The Royal Garden Suites are among the most spacious and refined accommodations in Hoi An’s Ancient Town — crafted from wood, bamboo, and terracotta, and graced with hand-carved artistry and serene garden views.

Our Big Suite features a spacious bedroom, private bar, and inviting living room.

  • Big Suite (approx. 63 m²) – A sophisticated open-plan retreat featuring a deep soaking tub, private bar, and balcony overlooking tranquil lotus ponds. Perfect for couples seeking privacy, light, and calm.

  • Bigger Suite (approx. 74 m²) – Designed with a generous living area, walk-through wardrobe, and custom daybed corner ideal for relaxation or in-room consultations. A harmonious blend of Vietnamese craftsmanship and understated modern comfort.

  • Chairman Suite (approx. 90 m²) – The pinnacle of the resort’s accommodation, offering a private infrared sauna and steam room, an elegant lounge adorned with Vietnamese artwork, and discreet butler service for an elevated sense of exclusivity.

Every suite reflects the essence of “modern longevity meets cultural heritage”, embraced by the peaceful seclusion of landscaped courtyards and reflective ponds that define the Royal Garden experience.

A CONVERGENCE OF TRADITION AND TOMORROW

“Royal Garden is where the ancient soul of Hoi An meets the future of longevity,” said Pieter van der Hoeven, Managing Director of Wafaifo Hospitality. “Here, guests find serenity within a royal Vietnamese garden while accessing some of the most advanced diagnostics, therapies, and bio-hacking technologies available in Central Vietnam.”
