What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This resort takes the ancient Champa civilisation as its architectural reference: latticed screens, clay pot details and handmade ceramics inform the design.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bai Dai Beach stretches for ten kilometers along the coast, and Cam Ranh International Airport is fifteen minutes away.
The rooms
Villas open onto terraces with private infinity plunge pools, and several sit right along the beach.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Planted palm islands dot the lagoon pool, and the children's pool has its own waterslides.
The spa and gym
A sunken reflection pool fills the spa courtyard, and the 24-hour gym looks across the grounds through floor-to-ceiling glass.
Restaurant
Clay Craft
Open kitchens send out Vietnamese dishes in traditional clay pots, and dining tables sit behind timber lattice screens.
At the table
Seafood Grill cooks the catch over open charcoal along the beach, and Baking Company serves pastries beside the pool.

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

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

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.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
