The Open Studio Retreat 

Explore, Experiment, Create

Lantern-lit streets and the quiet gardens of Trà Quế set the scene for a week of artistic exploration. At The Interlude, you’re invited to slow down and immerse yourself in watercolor, oil pastels, pencils, markers, or printmaking. A daily schedule of workshops offers inspiration, yet every activity is optional. Join them all, dip into a few, or devote your days to a personal project. With the studio open 24/7, you’re free to create whenever inspiration strikes. And within these walls, no one will ask if you are an artist, because here, everyone is welcomed as the artist they already are.

What Makes This Retreat Special

  • A creative sanctuary where art and slow living meet.

  • Inclusive workshops in watercolor & gouache, oil pastel, acrylics, pencil, marker, and printing.

  • 24/7 studio access – create freely, whenever inspiration strikes, with a full range of art materials provided (brushes, paints, papers, and more).

  • A blend of wellness and inspiration – daily yoga and nourishing meals.

  • Hands-on cultural immersion – Vietnamese cooking class, gallery hopping, a walking tour through Hoi An Old Town, and a day trip to My Son Sanctuary.

  • Gentle space for rest – pool time, massage, and relaxing garden moments.

  • Evenings that nurture connection – from shared meals and lantern-lit conversations to playful game nights that awaken the inner child.

Who is This Retreat For?

This retreat is for anyone with the urge to create – whether you’re returning to art, curious to try new media, or simply seeking an inspiring pause from daily life.

  • Anyone wanting to experiment with new techniques, explore different media, or focus on personal projects.
