Vinh Hy Bay, Vietnam

Amanoi is a meditative retreat on the coast of Nui Chua National Park, one of Vietnam’s largest natural conservation sites. Hugged by rolling, evergreen-covered hills, the resort looks over the East Sea and pristine Vinh Hy Bay

When the spring rains fall elsewhere in Vietnam, the lotus lakes and coral seas of Vinh Hy Bay enjoy balmy sunshine and a cloudless horizon. From February to April, this ecologically unique pocket of the country is an evergreen paradise

The airy, serene ambiance of Amanoi’s Pavilions and Residences offers a tranquil counterpoint to their dramatic setting. A contemporary take on traditional Vietnamese architecture, they blend seamlessly with the natural surrounds

Treks through the unspoilt hills of Nui Chua National Park reveal a bounty of flora and fauna. From the water, discover isolated inlets by sea kayak, while for snorkelers, delicate staghorn coral and an array of tropical fish await 

The tranquil Amanoi Spa is spread across ten buildings and a lotus-filled lake, offering an array of indulgent treatments and a rotating roster of internationally renowned visiting specialists
