Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho

Peacefully sequestered within 98 hectares of lush gardens just south of Quy Nhon, the Zannier Hotels Bai San Ho is a veritable haven of tranquillity set amid Vietnam’s outstanding natural scenery. On a peninsula that divides the Cu Mong Estuary with the sapphirine waters of the South China Sea, the resort clings to a coastal hillside that overlooks a placid bay studded with coral reefs. Here, 73 expansive suites and villas evoke traditional Vietnamese architecture; some are reminiscent of Cham and Eden tribal villages, others of rustic hinterland settlements with their stilted foundations. For further authenticity, guests can sample traditional Vietnamese flavours, with the hotel’s three restaurants serving local delicacies as well as international recipes and sumptuous fresh seafood. Cocktails, of course, make an appearance too, the two onsite bars offering contemplative moments as you nurse a refreshing elixir while watching the sun set. Elevating the sense of harmony, the Hoa Sen Spa area draws on the natural surroundings to produce an oasis of calm and wellbeing, featuring seven treatment rooms, a sauna, hammam and panoramic infinity pool. There’s also a fitness centre accessible 24 hours a day, while other active offerings include a yoga studio plus tennis and padel courts. Younger travellers can relish a range of exciting activities at the kids’ club, while the nearby white sand beach and shimmering waters beyond dazzle with their beauty. Frollick in the bay for respite from the tropical climate or strap on a snorkel and mask to explore the flourishing offshore reefs that brim with marine life. The hotel also arranges a selection of cultural experiences that include discovering nearby Cham ruins and visiting local fishing villages and shellfish farms to mingle with the locals and gain an immersive insight into the authentic Vietnamese way of life.
