Catamaran Experience

Explore the majesty of Vinh Hy Bay by day or by night

Take to the waters of Vinh Hy Bay aboard a spacious catamaran and embark on a private cruise across the emerald sea, enjoying personalised service from the vessel’s captain and host.

Choose to sail by day, savouring a refined dining experience, and a selection of premium beverages, alongside the opportunity to swim in hidden coves, snorkel vibrant reefs or kayak across the coastline. Witness the beauty of both sunrise and sunset from deck, becoming truly at one with nature’s rhythms.  

Alternatively, take to the water under the starry night sky, experiencing the quiet thrill of fishing – a cherished local pastime – and a chance to engage with the bay’s vibrant nocturnal marine life. A peaceful haven under the stars, the catamaran’s soft onboard lighting and the gentle lapping of waves makes for the perfect evening ritual.

The resort’s network of trails includes family-friendly rambles to secret beaches or more challenging treks to Bai Da or Goga Peak. 


Reef encounters 

Fringing the bay, a kingdom of coral awaits. Discover over 350 varieties of staghorn, plate and brain corals as well as shoals of tropical fish on a guided snorkelling tour. Alternatively, glide across Vinh Hy Bay in one of Amanoi’s glass-bottom kayaks, marvelling the sea creatures swimming beneath. 


Journeys in the lost kingdom 

Uncover the ancient heritage of the region’s Cham people with a guided tour. Following a visit to the Cham Museum, the experience takes guests to Po Klong Garai Cham Towers, built in the 12th and 13th centuries. Perched atop a hill with 360-degree views the towers provide a fascinating insight into Hindu and Islamic influences.
