Cultural and resort experiences: a journey of heritage preservation and the creation of sustainable experiences.
At Viet Han, the cultural and resort sector is developed with the orientation of creating destinations that deliver long-term value for communities, where tourism experiences are closely connected with cultural preservation, sustainable development, and meaningful engagement with local identity.
We believe that a truly meaningful destination is not only a place for relaxation, but also a space that preserves memories, tells cultural stories, and generates positive value for the surrounding region.
A representative example of this vision is Caravela Hoi An Resort & Spa, a riverside retreat along the Thu Bon River, designed as a space where nature, local architecture, and the heritage rhythm of Hoi An converge. Beyond high-quality accommodation, Caravela offers an immersive journey into local culture, cuisine, and lifestyle, preserving and honoring authentic values.
Alongside it, the Chieu Coi Museum is a culturally significant project dedicated to preserving and revitalizing a traditional craft that dates back more than 500 years. Rather than simply displaying artifacts, the museum is developed as a “living museum,” where stories of craft villages, artisans, and cultural memory continue to be told through exhibitions, hands-on experiences, and community engagement. This is not only an effort to preserve a traditional craft but also a journey to rekindle pride in Vietnamese cultural identity in contemporary life.
Through these two projects, Viet Han aims to contribute to destinations rich in identity, where tourism, culture, and community develop in harmony. This is also our long-term commitment to preserving Vietnamese cultural values, transforming heritage into inspiration for tourism development, and creating meaningful experiences for present and future generations.

Caravela Resort & Spa
Caravela Resort & Spa is a cultural resort project developed along the Thu Bon River, where the heritage values of the traditional mat-weaving village of Tra Nhieu are reimagined within a contemporary hospitality space.
More than just an accommodation destination, Caravela offers a healing journey deeply rooted in local identity, allowing visitors to experience the riverside rhythm of Hoi An, immerse themselves in nature, and explore cultural stories preserved across generations.
The project is envisioned as a “living museum,” connecting hospitality, craft heritage, and local experiences within a unified ecosystem. From riverside wellness spaces and traditional craft village exploration activities to the mat-weaving museum experience and handicraft workshops, each journey provides guests with deeper insight into local cultural life and the value of sustainable development.
With a commitment to respecting nature, preserving cultural identity, and working alongside local communities, Caravela Resort & Spa not only helps revive traditional craft village values but also creates a distinctive destination where relaxation is seamlessly intertwined with culture, heritage, and emotionally rich experiences for both domestic and international visitors.
Chieu Coi Museum
Chieu Coi Museum was created with the aspiration to preserve and continue the essence of Tra Nhieu craft village, where mat weaving has existed along the Thu Bon River for centuries and has become an essential part of local cultural life.
The project not only aims to safeguard traditional values that are gradually fading, but also to help younger generations and visitors better understand the history, craftsmanship techniques, and stories of artisans who have dedicated their lives to this heritage across generations.
The museum space goes beyond static exhibitions and is developed as a “living museum,” where mat weaving remains present in everyday life through experiential zones, handicraft workshops, artisan exchanges, and community engagement programs. Each product and weaving step becomes a story that helps visitors deeply feel the value of labor, culture, and the identity of Tra Nhieu.
Through the journey from raw sedge fibers to finished mats, Viet Han seeks to retell the story of a deeply traditional craft village while contributing to sustainable livelihoods for the local community. The Mat Weaving Museum is not only a place of memory preservation but also a bridge between heritage and contemporary life, helping transform local culture into a driving force for tourism and community development in the future.
For Viet Han, hospitality and resort development is not simply about destinations, but about journeys of discovering local culture, nature, and people. We pursue a model in which each project carries its own story, helping preserve local identity while creating emotionally rich experiences for visitors.
From Caravela Hoi An Resort & Spa along the Thu Bon River to the Tra Nhieu Chieu Coi Museum — which revives a traditional craft heritage spanning more than 500 years — each project is designed to connect heritage with contemporary life. Through resort spaces, cultural experiences, and community-based activities, Viet Han contributes to the sustainable and human-centered promotion of local values.
Looking ahead, we continue to develop deeper cultural-resort projects where nature, heritage, and community coexist in harmony. This is not only a commitment to preserving traditional values, but also an effort to create distinctive destinations that contribute to the sustainable development of tourism and local communities.
