The Nam Hai, Vietnam�s most exclusive beachfront resort has combined culture and sports for an exclusive 'Family Summer Retreat' throughout July and August to create a unique beach holiday this summer.

Voted as one of the world's best beach and spa retreats, the resort on fabled China Beach is providing flexible activities for all the family ranging from guided tours at World Heritage sites to sunrise fishing with locals, beach BBQs, sporting activities, cocktail parties and movie nights.

For the sporting, the resort organises tennis, badminton and beach volleyball tournaments, while parents or families can play one of the best new golf courses in Asia, The Montgomerie Links.

World Heritage tours include visits to the colourful historic trading port of Hoi An, just 10 kms away: the 'Marble Mountains', famous for pagodas, grottoes and caves; My Son, center of the ancient Cham civilization; and the former Imperial capital of Hue. The cultural tours are all accompanied by an English speaking guide and are free for children under the age of 12 with prices starting at USD30++ per adult.

Guests can join local fishermen on their daily sunrise outings, learning how to cast traditional Vietnamese nets and maneuver the thung chai bamboo basket boats they have employed for centuries to ply their trade. The Sunrise Fisherman experience is free for children under the age of 6, USD30++ for children aged 6-11 and USD60++ per guest over the age of 12.

Full day trimaran outings to one of Vietnam�s most spectacular islands are also available, where families can enjoy snorkeling or diving around the coral reefs of Cham Island, a Marine Protected Area 20 km offshore starting at USD60++ per guest.

Golfers can test themselves at the newly opened course, The Montgomerie Links, just a short drive from the resort, designed by 2010 European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie. The club includes a golf academy with video technology to make learning fun for everyone, with lessons for adults, kids, families or groups. Golf activities can be booked directly through The Nam Hai concierge.

Meanwhile, the daily 'Activities Club' organises fun and games for children and young adults, where kids of all ages meet to enjoy a wide variety of activities under supervision of qualified hotel staff.
