Book and tea on a riverside balcony at Nghê Prana

Put the phone down. The river is louder anyway.

A digital detox retreat in Vietnam

Nghê Prana offers a true digital detox retreat in Vietnam — not a marketing phrase, a real programme. On check-in we offer you a simple lockbox. You decide how deep to go: phone off for a meal, for a day, for the whole stay. Reception can take messages if anything is actually urgent.

We're a nine-room property on the Thu Bon River, ten minutes by bicycle from Hoi An Old Town. No entertainment, no in-room TVs. The property is designed to reward stillness: long breakfasts, riverside reading, a pool that is rarely crowded, slow walks into the town when you want them.

Optional phone lockbox

On check-in we offer a wooden lockbox for your devices. Keep it for a meal or the full stay — your call, no judgement.

A property built for stillness

No in-room TVs, no piped music, no after-dinner entertainment. Just a pool, a terrace, the river, and the Old Town when you want it.

Messages can wait — or not

If you leave your phone with reception, we'll forward urgent messages and let everything else wait. Most people find nothing is actually urgent.

Questions guests ask

Frequently asked

Do I have to leave my phone?

No — it is entirely voluntary. The lockbox is offered, never enforced. Wi-Fi is always available if you want it.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes. We offer full high-speed Wi-Fi across the property. The digital detox is a choice, not a limitation.

How long should I stay?

Most guests who want a real reset stay at least 4 nights. 7 to 14 is ideal for deeper decompression.
