What it’s good at
What they say
Also in AFAR.
Along the way is Naman Retreat, a gorgeous hotel constructed primarily with bamboo that opened in 2015.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Non Nuoc Beach sits directly outside, with the Marble Mountains to the north and historic Hoi An a short drive south.
The rooms
Babylon rooms open onto balconies shaded by vine-draped concrete louvres, while villas come with private plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A freshwater infinity pool looks out over the beach with sunken seating. A second pool sits beneath climbing vertical gardens.
The spa
Hanging ivy lines the open-air courtyards and lotus ponds, and private treatment rooms look onto enclosed gardens.
Gym and yoga pavilion
Floor-to-ceiling glass lights the fitness room, and daily morning yoga and tai chi take place in an open pavilion.
Hay Hay Restaurant
Twenty-nine fanning bamboo columns support the dining pavilion, where the kitchen prepares regional Vietnamese specialties and Cham Island lobster.
At the table
Sitini Bar pours sunset cocktails in an open bamboo pavilion by the sea, and B Lounge bakes wood-fired pizza.
How it began
Architect Vo Trong Nghia shaped the dining pavilions using regional bamboo treated for four months in water and smoke.

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.
