With access to Six Senses Ninh Van Bay only by boat, you’re literally marooned here; but oh, what a place to be stranded!

Rustic luxury never looked so good… The feel is totally alfresco, with everything gorgeously open-plan and more wood than you could shake a stick at, including the chunkiest director’s chairs we’ve ever seen. Villas have a variety of settings, including Beach Pool Villas by the sea, Water and Rock Villas with elevated views, and Spa Suite Villas with in-room treatments. And the three-bedroom, 900 square-metre Water Retreat is the ultimate in tropical escapism,​ set at the water’s edge on the dramatic rock formations of a private bay and facing west toward the setting sun​. ​The fabulous spa has natural therapies alongside yoga and t’ai chi, and you can eat by the bay, pool, rocks, jetty, in the Wine Cave or enjoy a barbeque at your villa. The bay cruises are very popular, and with a brilliant children’s club here too, the kids will love it just as much as you do.
