"A clifftop getaway set peacefully above Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi feels blissfully removed from civilisation with its traditionally inspired villas, picturesque vistas and temple-like spa."

The clifftop Amanoi sits above Vinh Hy Bay like a peaceful sentinel watching over the water. Secluded amongst southern Vietnam’s dramatic landscape and abundant wildlife of Nui Chua National Park, the resort feels blissfully removed from civilisation. In reality, it’s just a little over an hour’s drive from Cam Ranh airport (and two hours from the resort town Nha Trang), making it an idyllic getaway that comes without the travel exhaustion.

Traditional Vietnamese architecture inspired the design of the resort’s villas and pavilions, all of which are streamlined, minimalist and elegant. Tucked as they are into the woodland, each one feels delightfully private and can be chosen based on whichever sweeping views you fancy. Expect clean lines, a colour palette set in earth tones and timber sundecks outfitted with cushy loungers (many have generously sized private infinity pools as well). For more space to make yourself at home in, choose a Residence with one to five bedrooms, 24-hour private butler service, and a personal chef for in-room dining.

Have breakfast (or ‘sparkling brunch’) at the poolside Beach Club restaurant – the pool, by the way, sits on the clifftop and is perfectly picturesque. In the evening, visit The Bar for a cocktail before heading to the Restaurant and Terrace for international and Vietnamese dishes. You might also opt to take a cooking class and bring the nuance of Vietnamese cooking home with you, or book a unique dining experience like dinner with a local family at Ong Bay or a beach picnic overlooking a secret cove you’ll reach by kayak.

There’s no shortage of ways to experience the beautiful landscape, and the resort offers watersports aplenty: Hobie Cats, kayak rentals and everything in between – all complimentary, of course. On land, you can learn archery on the beach, take private painting classes, explore hiking trails to secret beaches and striking rock formations, or visit the 13th-century ruins of the Po Klong Garai temple complex. There are plenty of kid-friendly activities like fishing, movie nights with popcorn and cookies, learning local crafts and tennis coaching programmes.

A lakeside temple of tranquillity, the spa takes a very holistic approach to wellness of the body and soul. There are two hydrotherapy suites (in addition to the normal treatment rooms), pilates classes and private meditation and reiki sessions. Those who need a little extra pampering should look into the spa’s wellness immersions – retreats intended to recalibrate and rejuvenate.
