What they say
Editorial Mention
Condé Nast Traveler
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Duong Dong's bustling night market is minutes away. Along the resort's edge, Ba Keo Beach remains quiet.
The rooms
Canopy beds with mosquito nets anchor the rooms, which deliberately omit televisions and open onto garden or sea breezes.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An oceanfront infinity pool sits right beside the beach, and a separate adults-only pool hides in the garden.
At the table
The Spice House sets open-air tables along the sand for fresh seafood, and The Malabar pours sunset cocktails.
How it began

An American spice trader searching for cinnamon and black pepper built the original beachfront home before opening it to guests in 1999.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
