Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang Introduces H\u1ed3i Retreat: A Buchinger Fasting Reset by the Coast<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DA NANG, VIETNAM \u2013  <\/em><\/strong>Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang announces the launch of H<\/em>\u1ed3<\/em>i Retreat \u2013 Return to Self, a wellness retreat taking place from 18\u201322 November 2026, in collaboration with Vietnam Detox. A five-day, four-night guided retreat by Vietnam Detox invites guests to slow down, restore clarity and return to self through fasting, mindful movement, holistic wellness and nature.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cH\u1ed3i\u201d means \u201cto return\u201d in Vietnamese \u2014 a fitting expression for a retreat created not around doing more, but around returning to a steadier relationship with the body, energy and attention. Designed for guests who may still function well on the outside while feeling tired, mentally cluttered or out of rhythm underneath, H\u1ed3i Retreat creates five protected days in which everyday demands are replaced by a slower, carefully guided rhythm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a holiday is no longer enough<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

For many people, taking a holiday changes the setting without necessarily changing the pace. Decisions continue, screens remain close at hand and the mind never quite switches off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u1ed3i Retreat takes a different approach. Instead of filling the days with activities, the programme reduces decisions and introduces a clear daily rhythm of guided Buchinger fasting, movement, breathwork, meditation, spa care, rest and practical wellness education. The intention is not intensity or discipline, but to create the conditions in which guests have enough time and space to listen to their bodies again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience begins gently with a welcome smoothie, opening circle and light dinner before guests transition into the fasting programme. During the fasting days, the body is supported with freshly pressed organic juices, herbal broths, herbal teas and hydration, accompanied by daily guidance from Vietnam Detox specialists.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFasting is not positioned as a test of willpower,\u201d according to the retreat philosophy. Instead, nourishment, movement, body care and education are sequenced together so guests understand what they are experiencing and how to respond throughout the journey.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coast becomes part of the retreat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Guests take part in a mindful journey to Marble Mountain.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set directly on the coast at Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, H\u1ed3i Retreat uses its surroundings as an integral part of the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mornings can begin with the sea rather than a screen, with early beach walks, mindful movement, breathwork and meditation. Daily spa treatments and designated time at Maia Spa & Wellness Center, including its heated pool and wellness facilities, create further opportunities for the body to slow down and recover.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience also extends beyond the resort. Guests take part in a mindful journey to Marble Mountain and an early-morning nature experience on Son Tra Peninsula, bringing gentle movement, fresh air and a deeper connection with Da Nang’s landscape into the programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, the coast is more than a beautiful backdrop. The sea, open horizon, nature, spa therapies and quieter pace work together to establish a physical rhythm distinctly different from everyday life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five days, one gradual return<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u1ed3i Retreat unfolds as a progression rather than a conventional wellness itinerary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day One is about arriving and slowing down. Day Two introduces the full fasting rhythm through movement, meditation, juices, learning and spa care. Day Three allows the reset to deepen, including a mindful Marble Mountain experience. Day Four connects guests more deeply with nature through an early Son Tra journey, followed by movement, spa care and reflection. Day Five focuses on integration, with self-care, beach movement, breathwork, meditation and individual guidance for returning home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, the experience does not simply end at check-out. Individual wrap-ups, practical return-home guidance and a short post-retreat follow-up are designed to help guests carry what they have learned into everyday life.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided with expertise and care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retreat is led by Dieter Buchner, co-founder of Vietnam Detox and a Buchinger fasting coach trained through the German Fasting Academy. His structured approach is complemented by Truong Tan Hoan, co-founder and Programme Manager of Vietnam Detox, who supports the daily retreat journey, and Sanjay Rawat, Wellness Master at Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang, who brings more than a decade of experience in yoga and holistic wellness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam Detox has been pioneering the Buchinger fasting method in Vietnam since 2016, while Fusion brings its own established Wellness-Inclusive philosophy, integrating spa and wellness experiences naturally into each stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The setting adds another layer of wellness credentials. Fusion Resort & Villas Da Nang is Vietnam’s first WITT-certified wellness resort, has been recognized among the Best International Wellness Retreats in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2026, and is home to Maia Spa & Wellness Center, recognized as a Global Winner at the World Luxury Spa Awards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who H<\/strong>\u1ed3<\/strong>i is for<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u1ed3i Retreat is designed particularly for people carrying significant responsibility in their everyday lives \u2014 from senior professionals and founders to caregivers \u2014 who want more than a short escape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may also appeal to wellness travellers who are not seeking an intensive fitness programme but instead value steadiness, clarity, personal guidance and a more sustainable relationship with food, energy, rest and self-care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the retreat’s philosophy puts it, the goal is not simply to return home having stayed at a beautiful resort. It is to return with more energy, steadiness and clarity \u2014 and a clearer way forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
