3. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay
Built with a rustic fishing village theme in mind, Six Senses is isolated on a crescent shaped bay, reachable only by boat. When you see it for the first time you say to yourself “I see that there really is a place called paradise.” Your mood is trans fixed the moment you arrive at this magical beach on Vinh Van Bay.
It will only get better from this point forward. You feel as though you’re on a tropical island except you’re really on the mainland with no road access to the outside world. You have just escaped from the reality of the outside world.
All of the 68 villas are perfectly situated in an eco-friendly setting looking out over this amazingly beautiful bay on the East Vietnam Sea. Only a few of the original trees were removed when constructing the villas so that the natural setting of trees, shrubs and boulders blends together with the villas in a way that makes it feel as though they were always here together. The villas were strategically located between large rocks and trees giving the setting a natural feel of uncommon serenity.
Hill Top Pool Villas feature plunge pools facing the mountain ranges of Nha Trang while providing sweeping views of the East Vietnam Sea. The elevated bedroom with a walk-in closet is an “open plan” featuring natural woods and fabrics and an en-suite bathroom with separate his and her vanities focused around a beautifully handcrafted wooden bath tub. Insuring total privacy, these villas are strategically located on the mountain side above the resort which are assessable only by two private paths and stairs conveniently leading from the hotel lobby.
The Beach Front Pool Villas are constructed of all natural and sustainably sourced materials which provide generous personal space with their own private plunge pool and direct access to the beach. The villas blend with the surrounding boulders in such a way that makes you feel as though they were added during construction. The villas also include separate sleeping and living areas, with an en-suite bathroom plus two thickly cushioned teak day beds, separate vanities and a beautifully crafted wooden bath tub.
Each villa has it’s own mini wine cellar featuring a great selection for your immediate enjoyment.
Dining at Six Senses does not disappoint. There are three separate restaurants to meet your dining needs. Beginning with an Asian-Western breakfast served looking over the bay at the main restaurant, “Dining at the Bay”. Then for lunch and dinner you may dine here or in the “Dining by the Rocks” restaurant or for a romantic special dinner you can choose to dine in the “Wine Cave” enjoying ambient light and cozy atmosphere set in this unique hillside rock cavern.
In addition you have the option of picking your own private spot on the beach or wherever you choose and be served items off the menu of the main restaurant. And of course you may decide to dine in your own villa when you like.
