Located along the Maritime Silk Road, Hoi An was once a thriving trading post where merchants from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe converged, leaving a lasting imprint on the town's landscape. Even today, as visitors stroll through the enchanting streets adorned with intricate wooden facades and colorful lanterns, they are transported to another era.

The local dialect speaks to a time of cultural co-mingling, while Hoi An's culinary classics reveal its history of trade through flavors from far-flung lands along the Silk Road.

As a special holiday offering, Four Seasons Resort The Nam Hai presents two exclusive experiences that merge historical inspiration with exemplary craftsmanship.

The Silk Road Chocolate Voyage from Dec. 22, 2024 to Jan. 1, 2025 will showcase the rich tradition of chocolate-making. Watch masterful pastry chefs craft delectable desserts, sampling them as they travel across a map of the Silk Road, and marvel at exquisite chocolate replicas of artifacts from key ports such as Venice, Istanbul, and Athens.

At NAYUU, savor a remarkable Four Hands Omakase Dinner (Dec. 25-29 and 31) crafted by two master chefs, Alex Moranda of NAYUU and Quynh Brown of Lo Quay, Singapore. This 14-course tasting menu invites diners to "leave it to the chefs" and discover the best of Japanese culinary traditions in an intimate setting.

Through the holiday season, the resort brings guests on a tantalizing sojourn through the culinary cultures of the Maritime Silk Road. The Sri Lankan Sojourn (Dec. 22) highlights the island nation's spice-rich heritage with a family-style feast, accompanied by a traditional Ceylonese dance. Relish Venetian fare at Tales of Marco Polo (Dec. 24), as sprightly performances and Italian folk music evoke the ambience of a bustling seaside bazaar.

A Night in Athens (Dec. 25) celebrates beloved Mediterranean dishes such as gyros and baklava, complemented by an energetic Greek Hasapiko dance. Enjoy authentic Asian cuisine, from rich Indian curries to sizzling Korean meats, at Feast of the East (Dec. 27), while a thrilling lion dance and fire show add to the excitement.

The Ports of India (Dec. 29) honors India's coastal cuisine with divine platters featuring tangy curries from Kochi and fragrant biryanis from Kolkata, set against a backdrop of mesmerizing choreographies.

Bid adieu to 2024 at the Hoi An Memories: New Year's Eve Gala Dinner (Dec. 31), where a sumptuous spread awaits families and friends. Ranging from Vietnamese classics to globally inspired flavors, the feast features everything from succulent seafood dishes to smoky barbecue delights.

Out on the lush lawn, the countdown to midnight fills the air with anticipation. As the clock strikes twelve, a glittering fireworks display lights up the sky. Raise a glass to the new year with crafted cocktails and begin 2025 with a Silk Road sparkle.
