The thinking is innovative, beginning the moment you arrive in the main guest area, which resembles a local fishing village complete with market stalls. From here, guests cross a stream via a wooden bridge to the sand dunes where the villas and spa are located. Each villa has a private infinity pool, with a choice of styles from single level to duplex, up to four bedrooms and a host of features such as indoor-outdoor bathrooms in most and open living areas.

Dine in-villa, at the beachfront restaurant or Vietnamese open kitchen. Holistic treatments in the spa are designed to re-balance the senses, where therapists will advise on matters such as beauty care and herbal remedies. In the resort’s recreated Vietnamese village it’s fun to shop for local handicrafts.
