Six Senses Ninh Van Bay sits on dramatic Ninh Van Bay, with its impressive rock formations overlooking the East Vietnam Sea, white sand beach and towering mountains behind, all adding to the sense of being luxuriously at one with nature. The next best thing to your own private tropical island, the resort offers 58 pool villas featuring traditional Vietnamese architecture and is built on a lush jungle-covered hill overlooking the white-sand beaches of the resort’s own secluded bay, which can only be accessed by boat.

The villas offer spectacular views with some featuring their own private beach access while others are nestled amid unique rock formations just above the bay’s gorgeous coral reef, the perfect launch pad for snorkeling enthusiasts. Several hilltop villas located near the Six Senses Spa have personal Spa Suites.

The resort features a range of gourmet dining options, all with amazing views, or you can relax and soak in the scenery while the resort staff prepares a private barbecue for you on the beach or the deck of your villa. The Six Senses Spa is an open design nestled beside a gentle waterfall to allow the rhythm of the waters and aroma of essential oils and incense to infuse throughout. Resort activities include scuba diving (there’s a school on premises), motorbike adventure tours, a waterfall safari, and cultural tours to local villages.
