The house
Zannier HotelsVernacular coastal hideaway
Spread across a secluded peninsula, thatched pavilions and working rice paddies slope gently toward a private white-sand coral bay.
“This is a design lover’s hideout: every detail is meticulously considered, from the hand-washed, textured walls to the bamboo fan placed just so...”
What it’s good at
Exceptional
Handcrafted villas interpret three traditional architectural styles, crowned by a twelve-meter Bahnar stilted restaurant pavilion.

The styles all pay tribute to indigenous forms of housing, and vary according to site; all but the built-on-stilts Paddy Field Villas come with plunge pools…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along an untouched peninsula in Phu Yen, the grounds overlook coral reefs with nearby fishing communities and coastal craft villages.
The rooms
Hill and beach villas feature private plunge pools and hand-textured walls, while stilted wooden dwellings sit elevated above the paddies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The hilltop infinity pool gazes across the bay, and loungers line the stone terrace for sunset views.
The spa and courts
Hoa Sen Spa holds herbal therapy suites and thermal baths beneath vaulted ceilings, alongside tennis and padel courts.
Restaurant
Bà Hai
Stilted high above the rice paddies, the timber pavilion serves regional Vietnamese dishes for family-style sharing.
At the table
Nhà Ở serves breakfast on the hilltop, Làng Chài grills seafood on the sand, and Hầm Bar pours evening cocktails.
How it began
The estate draws on vernacular architecture from across Vietnam, referencing soaring Bahnar meeting halls, Cham brickwork, and timber longhouses of the Ede.
