UNSPOILT NATURAL BEAUTY
Framed by verdant green hills and perfectly white sands, a stay at this secluded resort is a chance to immerse yourself in the rich culture and unspoilt natural beauty of Vietnam’s Phu Yen province.
The property is named after the Vietnamese for “bay of corals”, a nod to the vibrant coral reef that lies just a stone’s throw away from the resort’s private beach.
Scattered along these white sands, and about the lush hillsides and rice paddies, are 71 standalone villas. Drawing inspiration from Vietnam’s traditional villages and tribal cultures, all have warm, minimalist interiors featuring reclaimed wood and bamboo furnishings, woven rattan, local silk prints and Vietnamese artefacts.
From snorkelling rainbow reefs to following scenic hiking trails and uncovering the fascinating history of the 11th century Cham dynasty, you’ll have a wide range of tailored excursions at your fingertips.
You’ll also have two tennis courts, a yoga & aerobics studio and a 20-metre-long infinity pool at your disposal. And when you really need to unwind, there’s the beautiful Hoa Sen Spa where you can indulge in the signature ‘Sea Elixir’ and other curated treatments.
Diners have the choice between homely Hai-style cuisine at Bai Hai, delicious grilled fish at Lang Chai on the beach and classic Southeast Asian flavours at the hilltop Nha O.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
