Tucked away in a sheltered bay along Vietnam’s rainforested Hon Heo Peninsula, the Six Senses Ninh Van Bay is accessible only by boat, increasing its sense of glorious isolation. Add to this its stunning backdrop of verdant mountains and you’ll feel truly separated from the outside world. At this sustainability-focussed property, guests can choose from a collection of lavish private pool villas and overwater bungalows, each one featuring either a garden terrace or sundeck. Regardless of your choice, superb ocean vistas are guaranteed. With the resort’s sustainable ethos at its core, the cuisine here has its origins in home-grown ingredients from the resort’s organic garden along with freshly caught local seafood and a variety of excellent wines from the cellar. The Six Senses Spa Ninh Van Bay, meanwhile, delivers a range of traditional Vietnamese remedies to the sound of natural flowing streams. The spa even includes a medicinal herbal garden where some of the ingredients used across the treatments are grown, and its facilities include six double treatment rooms, a fitness centre, steam and sauna rooms, a yoga deck, relaxation area, meditation sala and an outdoor jungle gym circuit. Activities range from chef-guided Vietnamese cooking classes, trekking through the peninsula’s thriving greenery to reach panoramic viewpoints, sunset cruises and boat charters and a host of water sports activities. The resort also has a monkey conservation initiative, with a troop of rare and endangered black-shanked douc langurs frolicking throughout the hills behind the resort. Coral reef conservation is another sustainable activity available here, whereby guests can sponsor portions of the offshore reef to ensure its lasting protection with regenerative coral frames.
