What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Airy interior spaces are lined with local teakwood, equipped with canopy beds and a smattering of unobtrusive furniture, but for the most part remain uncluttered and spare.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked along Dat Doc Beach in a protected national marine park, the retreat sits a quick scooter ride from Con Son town.
The rooms
Every ocean-facing villa features an open-air bathroom with a terrazzo soaking tub, local teak interiors, and a private infinity pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The main beachfront pool curves along the sand, looking straight out across the bay to distant headlands.
The spa
Timber treatment pavilions sit over a tranquil pond against the mountains, offering herbal steam rooms and Vietnamese therapies.
Restaurant
By the Beach
Open-air timber decks front the sand, serving contemporary Vietnamese dishes made with organic produce from the on-site garden.
At the table
Open-air bars pour fresh refreshments beside the sand and shaken cocktails across lantern-lit wooden decks.
How it began
Paris studio AW² shaped the resort like a traditional coastal village, integrating reclaimed antique carved timber panels from mainland Vietnam.
