Vietnam · Ninh Thuan
Ninh Thuan is Vietnam’s driest coast: granite headlands, vineyards and salt fields under a wide sky, with the mountains of Nui Chua National Park falling straight into the sea. It feels far from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and much of the shore is still undeveloped.
Our stay here is Amanoi, set within the national park above Vinh Hy Bay. Pavilions look over the bay or into the forest, and the larger residences have their own pools, which makes them a natural fit for families and friends travelling together. Below, a beach club keeps the sand in reach, and the spa gives the afternoons their shape.
Amanoi suits couples who want a beach week without a busy strip, families who want room, and travelers ending a longer Vietnam journey with real rest. Further north, across the water from Nha Trang, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay shares the same airport, so the two combine easily; see Ninh Van Bay.
Amanoi is part of our Island Sanctuaries collection. Our Vietnam guide covers the country, and Siem Reap or Luang Prabang add temples to the same trip.
Ninh Thuan is one chapter of our Southeast Asia guide, which sets Vietnam’s coast beside Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines.
Why visit
Featured properties
Houses we know by name, the ones we would open for this landscape.
The house
A first reading of the stay: rooms, light, and the quiet between them. Each still is a note, not a catalogue.
When and how
Each season keeps its own calendar. We plan the transfer around it.
Best time to visit
Ninh Thuan is one of the driest provinces in Vietnam. January to August is usually sunny and settled, with the calmest sea in spring and early summer. Heavier rain tends to arrive between September and November, when some boat trips and beach days give way to the spa.
Seasonality
Tet, the lunar new year in late January or February, and the summer holidays fill first. Midday heat in summer keeps outdoor plans to the morning and evening.
Airport / logistics
Cam Ranh International Airport (CXR) has domestic flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and some regional international routes. From the airport, the drive to Amanoi takes about an hour along the coast. Ninh Van Bay is in the opposite direction from the same airport, so the two stays connect in a morning.

Destination
Siem Reap with Angkor ten minutes away: New Khmer modernism, remork mornings, and a house that treats the temples as the week’s reason.
