01 Mar, 2023 | Top Hotels & Resorts

If you want a beach vacation without the crowds, this list features the top resorts for ocean views, great restaurants, high-end spa, exceptional service, and glamorous sunsets.

Away from the tourist areas overwhelmed with buildings in the center of Da Nang or Nha Trang; there still remain in Vietnam some impeccable, unspoiled beaches with fine sand, clean water surrounded by lush mountains, and beautiful landscapes. Whether you are a beach lover, a couple looking for a romantic getaway, or honeymooners planning a dream Vietnam vacation, here are the most gorgeous beach resorts to enjoy the finest of a tropical paradise.

1. Amanoi Vinh Hy

Amanoi, derived from Sanskrit, means A Peaceful Place, describing the resort perfectly. Staying here feels like living a million miles away from modern cities. 

Perched on a remote cliff, in the rugged landscape of southern coast Vietnam, this tranquil retreat overlooks the dramatic Vinh Hy Bay, enfolded by pristine jungles and beaches. 31 slate-roofed pavilions are inspired by traditional Vietnamese architecture but stripped down to the minimalist while wood furniture and straight lines give graceful and artful vibes of simplicity. Undoubtedly, Amanoi Vinh Hy is one of our suggested Vietnam's most remote yet luxurious getaways that you don't want to miss.

Amanoi Spa treatments are developed to promote a lasting sense of inner peace

Serious spa junkies or people who are looking for a detoxifying treatment should book themselves into one of the two Spa Houses that come with programs ensuring palpable results. Two restaurants serve dishes featuring cuisine from around the globe but it’s the Vietnamese ones that truly shine. Everything is fresh, light, and loaded with local flavor. Fresh fish that is delivered daily directly from local fishing boats is prominent on Amanoi’s menus.

2. Six Senses Con Dao

If any couple is looking for a castaway charm for an island retreat, there’s no better place than Six Senses Con Dao. A 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, this high-end resort, set in a protected national park, provides a truly breathtaking view.

Each of them has a private pool and an outdoor bathroom. But if you don’t like swimming in the pool, the beach is just a few steps away. It means, you can have your feet play in the golden sand and sparkling sea anytime you want to.

Designed to offer a true escape from reality, this beachfront resort is set between jungle hills, rice fields, and a blissful private beach. 73 villas, on a 240-acre property, boast three different architectural styles that are reminiscent of fishermen’s houses; ethnic Cham people’s houses; or hill tribes' longhouses. Thatched roofs, earth walls, muslin-draped beds, and simple but delicate wooden furniture exude an authentic Vietnamese charm.
