From Hoi An’s top-rated beach resort to running a Sub 4 at the London Marathon 2024

In addition to showcasing the authentic beauty of Indochina, Victoria Hoi An Resort invites guests to engage in sports activities and improve their physical fitness, even to the point of successfully completing marathons around the world.

Mr. Pham Van Dung, Director of the top-rated Victoria Hoi An Beach Resort, a member of Thien Minh Group (TMG), joined the Sub 4 club (completing a marathon in under 4 hours) at the London Marathon on April 21. He took 3 hours, 42 minutes 36 seconds to run the 42km-long course. At the Let’s Run Hoi An 2024 on May 5, he and his colleagues at the resort and main sponsor Victoria Hoi An and TMG completed the half marathon.

According to Mr. Dung, his secret to being physically fit is actually the variety of sports activities available at Victoria Hoi An Resort. This has helped him run in marathons both domestically and internationally, in line with one of TMG’s core values which is Health.

Ahead of the summer holidays 2024, here’s a run-down of some of the exciting sports activities offered by Hoi An’s top-rated beach resort, where authentic Indochinese beauty meets a healthy lifestyle.

1. Make a splash with water sports

For a bit of an adrenaline rush, guests can choose catamaran sailing in the beautiful waters off Cua Dai Beach, exclusively available at Victoria Hoi An. One try is all it takes to fall in love with the sense of freedom and adventure you feel when riding the ocean waves, providing a totally different perspective on a Hoi An getaway.

Kayaking, whether river or sea, is another great activity for water sports enthusiasts. Every new year, the luxe Victoria Hoi An organizes kayak races as a way to ring in another joyous new year ahead.

2. Beach games for better teamwork

On the sun-drenched beach to the right of Victoria Hoi An Resort, in addition to catamaran sailing, kayaking or sunbathing, guests can burn off some summer energy with beach sports like volleyball and soccer. These beach games are not just a great way to exercise but also help build teamwork.

3. Hit the gym with Victoria Fitness

With a full range of modern gym equipment, Victoria Fitness at Victoria Hoi An is where you can get an excellent workout while keeping the body toned. Here, you’ll find treadmills, exercise bikes, free weights and other equipment to help train all the muscle groups including abs, back and shoulders. The gym at Victoria Hoi An has large glass windows to let in the natural light and views out to the lush gardens for some of Mother Nature’s own inspiration.

4. Enjoy the infinity pool

Located at the very heart of Victoria Hoi An Resort and overlooking Cua Dai Beach, a dip in the sparkling infinity pool is the perfect way to cool off on a sweltering summer’s day. Guests can also get some laps in for a low-impact workout. Lined by palm trees, the pool is very popular among the Instagram crowd for its undeniable wow factor. Many guests look forward to lounging by this spectacular pool whenever they visit Victoria Hoi An.

5. Contest epic matches

Whether you’re a football fan and fancy yourself a bit of a Messi on the pitch, or love to play tennis and rain down aces on your opponent, Victoria Hoi An is the place to be. With lit tennis courts and football pitches, there’s always a match to be played at Victoria Hoi An, even on rainy days.

6. Savor relaxing moments at the Spa and Yoga

To fully experience the peacefulness of Victoria Hoi An, modeled after a quiet coastal fishing village, join an early morning yoga class with the sound of your body’s own rhythms and the soothing waves in your ears. Being outside and taking in the fresh sea air helps reduce stress while gentle movements aid in flexibility, a boost for both your physical and mental wellbeing.

After a long day of outdoor sports, what could be better than a relaxing spa treatment at the beautiful Victoria Spa to knead fatigued muscles and induce a sense of total tranquility.
