What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
this neoclassical villa resort is arranged across tropical gardens of mango and palm, with the South China Sea on one side and a calm lake on the other.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bai Dai's quiet sands stretch along the property's edge, and Cam Ranh International Airport is just ten minutes away.
The rooms
Villas center on private swimming pools and four-poster beds, opening onto terraces overlooking the lake or the ocean.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the beachfront infinity pool by the sand, and daybeds sit beside private plunge pools on the lawn.
The gym and spa
A row of treadmills looks out toward the lake, and YHI Spa has a sauna and ecological treatments.
Bar
Elyxr
Tufted yellow armchairs and checkered marble floors fill the lobby lounge, where live music plays each week.
Restaurant
Mười
Conical hat lanterns hang above patterned tile floors, and the kitchen cooks regional Vietnamese dishes from family recipes.
At the table
A polished dark wood bar pours drinks under chandeliers, and Merkado serves fresh seafood beside the lake.
How it began

Vietnam's Vingroup built the sprawling estate in 2017, later partnering with Spain's Meliá in 2022 to reshape the dining and lakeside spa.

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.
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.
