Bhaya Soul
Designed as the wellness inclusive cruise in Ha Long Bay, Bhaya Soul features 20 spacious suites, each with a private balcony and sun loungers.
Bhaya Cruises announced that Bhaya Soul, its new luxury wellness cruise, has officially joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) the internationally recognised portfolio of more than 700 independently owned boutique hotels across more than 100 countries.
The recognition marks an important milestone for Bhaya Soul, which is redefining the traditional Ha Long Bay cruise through an intimate combination of boutique design, Vietnamese hospitality, restorative wellness and immersive journeys through the region's spectacular seascapes.
Designed as the wellness inclusive cruise in Ha Long Bay, Bhaya Soul features 20 spacious suites, each with a private balcony and sun loungers. The cruise follows two bays, Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, while onboard experiences are designed around slowing down, reconnecting and restoring mind and body.
“Joining Small Luxury Hotels of the World is a very meaningful milestone for Bhaya Soul and for everyone who has been part of bringing this vision to life,” said Nam Tran, CEO and Founder of Bhaya Cruises. “We wanted to create something different on Ha Long Bay – a place where guests can experience the beauty of the bay while also having the space to slow down, reconnect and restore. SLH recognises independent properties with a strong sense of place and individuality, and we are very proud that Bhaya Soul now belongs to this community.”
“We’re always looking to enrich the SLH portfolio with soulful, characterful stays and Bhaya Soul is in a class of its own. It marks our very first luxury boat offering in Asia Pacific, joining a select group of four other immersive water experiences within our global portfolio” said Mark Wong, Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Bhaya Soul’s membership also creates a natural connection with Namia River Retreat in Hoi An which is already a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Together, the two offer travellers the opportunity to combine two distinct Vietnamese wellness experiences, from the waters of Ha Long Bay to the Thu Bon River in Hoi An. Bhaya Cruises has introduced multi destination wellness journeys that connect the two properties as part of a broader approach to restorative travel in Vietnam.
