Why we love it
Separated from the rest of the world by miles of pristine national park, Amanoi overlooks the protected waters of Vinh Hy Bay, on Vietnam’s ‘secret’ southeastern shores. Meaning ‘place of peace’, the off the grid property designed by Jean-Michel Gathy positively encourages calm contemplation, whether lounging by the cliffside pool or at the elegant beach club, or surrendering to the tranquillity of the Aman Spa by a lotus-filled lake with a floating yoga pavilion.
Combining traditional Vietnamese influences with natural materials, Amanoi’s Pavilions and Villas meld imperceptibly with the dramatic topography of the landscape. Pavilions, some with pools, feature elegant open-plan layouts leading to outdoor decks, while Residence’s in a range of sizes offer consummate privacy for couples, families or groups.
Discover the heritage of the region's ancient Cham people, who once dominated the coast of Southern Vietnam. Explore 13th century temple ruins guided by a descendent, followed by a sacred blessing and traditional Cham feast under the stars.
Ramble along the rugged coastline to a beach picnic, embark on a challenging trek to the rock formations of Bai Da or the bay view drama of Goga Peak. Or hike inland through village, forest and farmland to swim at a three tiered waterfall.
An expanse of coral awaits beneath the waves. Explore the pristine reefs on a guided snorkelling expedition to discover more than 350 varieties of corals in the bay conservation area, as well as shoals of colourful tropical fish.
Take a leisurely ride along coastal roads and dirt tracks to the secluded village of Thai An. Explore the local schools and visit morning markets to meet residents of this lost-in-time haven.
