Fusion Maia Resort, Vietnam is claiming to be Asia’s 1st All-inclusive spa resort, so when a colleague visited the hotel we could not wait to hear her thoughts and share them with you in the below blog; -

“I really loved Fusion Maia Resort and spent time getting to know the property, the concept as well as the competitors in the area. I spent over a week here and I have to say, I did not want to leave!  I really loved the resort and the staff, and got to understand all the little touches and thought that makes Fusion Maia so unique!

On arriving at Fusion Maia Resort, my initial thoughts were that it was very contemporary and had a relaxed ‘zen’ like feel to it.  I didn’t feel that the brochure and images did it justice.  The villas are fabulous – very contemporary and spacious with all modern facilities (including ipods and ipads in some villas). What’s more, all the villas have their own private pool and garden.  In fact, we have now decided to rename the pool suites as pool villas as they are as large and luxurious as many other pool villa properties in Asia and are equipped to a high and very modern standard.

The general manager, Michelle  Ford is excellent and a lovely person too She has developed a team that are encouraged to be creative and interact with guests. As a result, the staff have a happy approach to their work which reflects on how they are with guests.  She has a great team behind her (including 5 Europeans) and they all seem to love their jobs! All guests are assigned a Care Manager on arrival, otherwise known as Fusionists…someone who can be your main point of contact during your stay.

The real key selling point at Fusion Maia Resort is that all the spa treatments are included in the price!! Guests are guaranteed a minimum of two treatments per day each…and up to five pending availability. Amazing value for  a luxury villa property!  Also, breakfast can be taken anytime, anywhere at the resort…

They also have a 7 day natural living program which is organised by colour, theme, and aroma…  even the staff wear a different scarf according to the  theme of the day. (Feel Free * Eat Well * Be Social * Act Mindfully * Enjoy Nature * Be Active * Open Your Mind)

They also offer ideas meant to inspire new perspectives and activities to help you get in touch with yourself and the rich culture and nature around you.  Each day there are different activities offered  which may include a visit to the market, a cooking demonstration, a visit to a local orphanage or perhaps even a  lunch out with your Fusionist or another member of staff.  So, even if it rains, there are always various activities going on at Fusion Maia Resort every day. There is also a regular  free shuttle bus going to and from Hoi An which is only 20 minutes away. The Fusion Maia Resort also have now opened Fusion Lounge which is a restaurant located in Hoi An so great as a base for guests too. Even breakfast can be taken here!

I visited all the other 5* hotels  between Danang and Hoi An and whilst some were very nice my overall thoughts were that there is not  really anything that compares to Fusion Mai Resort in terms of the style, ethos and concept of inclusive spa treatments.

Fusion Maia Resort is the first opening of this exciting  luxury lifestyle brand in Vietnam. There will be two further properties opening up next year  under the second concept  – Alya. Fusion Alya, will focus on offering guests a gourmet experience and where all the food and gourmet experiences will be included in the price. There will also be a third concept launched – Fusion Zana which will focus on lifestyle and fashion.  In total, there are plans to open 7 or 8 Fusion Resorts throughout Vietnam over the next 3 years – each will be one of the three lifestyle concepts of Maia, Alya or Zana”.
