Amanoi, Vinh Hy Bay, Vietnam

Comprising just 31 pavilions and 5 villas, you should expect a very intimate and personal style of service. Ocean Pavilions have expansive views, whilst Pool Pavilions come complete with private pools; Ocean Pool Pavilions offer the best of both with a private pool and a view. There are 5 Aman Villas with 4 or 5 bedrooms available as well. Contemporary Vietnamese sums up the elegant accommodation design – soaring ceilings, swathes of natural wood and floor to ceiling windows framing a jaw-dropping view from the private terrace.

The Central Pavilion houses the restaurant and bar together with a vast terrace for capturing the epic views. There is also a library and a boutique showcasing fabulous Vietnamese art, handmade jewellery as well as resort apparel.

When it comes to facilities if you can bear to leave the achingly calm space of your pavilion Amanoi boasts two swimming pools - the Cliff Pool close to the Central Pavilion and the second overlooking the glorious beach down at the Beach Club. Alongside the pool the Beach Club offers a wealth of water sports and casual beach dining. 　The white sands of Vinh Hy Bay are hugged by national park and spectacular marine reserve which give life to a variety of eco systems and diverse flora and fauna. The fringing reefs are home to a vivid kaleidoscope of marine life and the rugged rock formations a natural adventure playground for snorkelers. The diving is also superb.

As you would expect the extensive spa is almost a destination in its own right commanding a prime position surrounded by rolling hills and set by a tranquil lotus lake. 5 double treatment rooms have double baths and there are 2 hydro-therapy suites and a seemingly endless menu of body treatments, therapies, wraps and facials.
