A stunning ensemble of resorts with 'mountain leaning towards water' architecture in Vietnam
4. Mia Resort Nha Trang

Situated between Cam Ranh airport and Nha Trang city, Mia is a 5-star standard resort that opened in September 2011. The resort is distributed at two different heights: the upper area carved from the mountain, standing at an altitude of 60m overlooking the peaceful sandy beach—also where the rest of the resort is arranged.


Designed by architect Gary Fell and built on eco-friendly principles, Mia Resort comprises 50 spectacular living spaces integrated into the backdrop of mountains, straight rock formations, and meticulously manicured gardens, nestled along the secluded small beach by the bay. Subtle yet incredibly picturesque, the natural beauty here is truly exquisite.


All rooms at Mia face the ocean, featuring an eco-friendly design with grass roofs for insulation. The materials used are all natural, harmonizing seamlessly with the environment. Especially, waking up to a sea-view from your bed will make each morning moment extraordinary.
3. Six Senses Ninh Van Bay

Situated on the beautiful Ninh Van Bay, Six Senses Ninh Van Bay boasts impressive rock formations, sandy beaches, and rugged mountains. Meeting international 5-star resort standards, the resort's expansive 'six senses' area covers over 26,000 m², with a collection of 58 high-end villas designed in a blend of ancient European architecture and traditional Vietnamese style, featuring rustic roofs made of coconut leaves.

A highlight of this luxurious resort is its provision of premium spa services, therapeutic treatments, and effective massages that offer guests a sense of comfort and relaxation.

In particular, the resort regularly organizes various exciting activities for tourists to choose from, such as tennis, water sports, diving, gym sessions, and nature exploration.

2. Amanoi Ninh Thuan

Nestled within the secluded enclave of Nui Chua National Park, Amanoi Ninh Thuan boasts a stunning location perched atop the mountain cliffs, overlooking the picturesque Vinh Hy Bay. Each villa is harmoniously integrated with nature, offering views of the sea, mountains, or romantic water features. The serene and private space by the lotus pond serves as a yoga classroom, allowing you to immerse yourself in tranquility on the calm water surface. Inside the resort is a pool designed to seemingly suspend on the mountain cliffs, blending with the sky of the East Sea.


Amanoi Resort captures attention and gains fame for its staggering prices, reaching up to 100 million VND per night. Not long ago, the super-hot couple Adrian Anh Tuan and Son Doan celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary with a very romantic photoshoot here.


In reality, Amanoi is pricey due to its private space with one side facing the mountains and the other facing the sea, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of Vinh Hy Bay. Also, due to its exorbitant prices, there is no amenity that Amanoi does not provide to guests.
1. Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort


Leading the quartet of architecturally stunning 'mountain-leaning, water-facing' resorts in Vietnam, InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is one of the most favored works of architect Bill Bensley – the wizard of enchanting resorts in Vietnam. He is renowned as a lover of nature with a design philosophy of 'Stranger, Better'.

Bensley's masterpiece in Vietnam showcases diverse cultural spaces, from patterns and royal court spaces to village communal houses, or the straw that any Vietnamese village has. The interior resembles ancient temples, with captivating lanterns and intricately carved candleholders featuring mythical creatures like dragons, elephants, lions, and lotus flowers. The harmonious combination of black lacquered wood and white tiles – these two colors symbolize the harmony of yin and yang, characteristic of Eastern cultural and religious philosophy.


The designer has seamlessly incorporated Hoi An lanterns into the structure. The graceful curves inspired by the lanterns and the smooth, glossy surfaces of silk are present throughout the resort. The entire InterContinental Danang resort is divided into three levels with names: Heaven, Sky, and Sea, nestled against the slopes of Son Tra Peninsula. All rooms at InterContinental Danang face the sea, ensuring guests a complete and fulfilling vacation experience.
