Amanoi, Vinh Hy Bay

Situated on one of Vietnam’s most beautiful bays, Amanoi is a contemporary beach resort embraced by a national park.

LOCATION

Renowned for its spectacular coastline, majestic mountain ranges and dramatic sand dunes, Ninh Thuan Province is rich in natural treasures including Nui Chua National Park. Amanoi is situated on a wide, mountainous promontory of the National Park, overlooking Vinh Hy Bay – known as one of Vietnam’s four most beautiful bays. Located 55 kilometres south of Cam Ranh Airport, Vinh Hy is surrounded by unique rock formations. A marine reserve adjoins the National Park and is home to a large variety of sea corals, tropical fish species, and hawksbill and green sea turtles. Vinh Hy Bay is accessed via Cam Ranh Airport which services Nha Trang. Cam Ranh Airport is a one-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City, a one-hour-and-45-minute flight from Hanoi or a one-hour-and-25-minute flight from Danang. The flight is followed by a scenic 90-minute drive to Vinh Hy Bay. 

PAVILIONS & VILLAS

Guest accommodation includes 31 Pavilions, a number with private swimming pools, and five Aman Villas, all positioned on the hillside with impressive views. The design of the Pavilions and Aman Villas fuses contemporary elegance with traditional Vietnamese architectural styles.
