TIA Wellness Resort
"Note: This review is for the now-closed Fusion Maia Danang. While most new developments along My Khe beach, Danang’s booming 19-mile-long stretch of sand, are towering eyesores, the Fusion Maia is low-key and chic. Its 87 single-story villas lie tucked behind low, russet-tinted laterite walls and interconnected by bamboo-lined stone paths. The spacious, L-shaped villas (the smallest at 540 square feet) are built to an open plan, with a plump beige cotton sofa at one end and a bathroom fitted with a gray terrazzo soaking tub, glass-encased rain shower, and handmade brass sinks at the other. A canopy bed swathed in gauzy caramel-hued cotton sits at the center, facing glass doors that open onto a plunge pool and garden shaded by ferns and palms (a steal, with room rates starting at $290). Smart design touches include a swivel TV that can be viewed from the bath or bed and built-in closets behind textured fabric framed in glass and dark wood. The extras here are noteworthy: Fusion Maia is the first hotel in Asia to offer unlimited spa treatments with the room rate, and at Five, the snazzy restaurant, decorated with tiered silk chandeliers and purple velvet chairs, the show kitchen delivers outstanding dishes like a duck-and-herb ravioli. There’s also complimentary shuttle service to the nearby riverside town of Hoi An, famed for its well-preserved shophouses and lantern-lit lanes."
